Make Money w/Text Messages and Jew the Cell Phone Companies

Posted by admin | September 21, 2008 .

Here we will explain an old Jewish trick to make some easy money off of all the large cell phone companies.  With this trick you will be going to all the cellphone stores in your area, signing up all the demo phones with your own premium text messaging service, and making $9.99 per month, per phone!

The more phones you sign up, the more money you will make.  Read on to find out how.

Have you ever received any random spam text messages?  Every now and then I receive a random text message on my cellphone.   They seem to be spam messages.  The same type of spam messages that you might receive in your email.  It might be a daily horoscope reading, it might be a random stock pick, it might be a weather report, or it could just be some type of advertising spam trying to sell me something.

After receiving one of these messages my natural tendency is to either delete or ignore the message.  It totally resembles email spam so why not treat it the exact same way?  I would bet that the majority of people who receive these types of spam text messages have the same type of reaction and just delete the message.

You may find at times that these spam text messages reoccur and other times they may not.

Either way at the end of the month you may get your cell phone bill and find that you were charged an additional $5.99 for what they call a “third-party text messaging service”.

After receiving these additional charges on my bill, I did what any Jew would do and I immediately called up the cell phone company to dispute these charges.  I asked them what these additional charges were for and they told me that they were for a premium text messaging service.  They go on to tell me that I cannot cancel this third-party text messaging service or get a refund through the cell phone company because these charges are from a third-party company and not from my actual cell phone provider.  They won’t even identify this third-party company or tell me who I can contact for a refund.

They tell me that all I can do is to reply to all future text messages of this nature with the words:  STOP, END, or CANCEL and the text messages will no longer occur.  This will handle canceling these text messages from here on out, but it will not refund any current or previous charges.

So what does this mean?  You will still be charged for the text messages that you have received regardless of whether or not your cancel the service immediately after receiving one of these messages.  This “third-party” company will still be getting between $0.99-$9.99 for sending you a single text message!

This caused me to immediately check my previous cell phone bills from past months and I found that there were similar charges over the previous months that I did not even notice!  I calculated that over the course of a two year period these “third-party” text messaging companies had Jewed me out of a total of $312.75.  This initially made me really angry, but once I put on my Jew-cap I realized that this was an ingenious business model and like any other self-righteous Jew I wanted in on the action!

I would bet that at least 70% of the people who receive these types of text messages don’t even realize that they are being charged for these extra text messaging services and just pay their bills without ever noticing.

Background

This type of “third-party” text message billing service is known as Reverse SMS Billing or as a Premium Text Messaging Service where companies can bill a customer through an SMS text message.  This even goes beyond just charging a customer for a text message.  Services like PayPay or GPay allow people to send and transfer money via SMS text message.  People can even charge money to their cell phone account with similar types of services.

Where the money goes?

I did some quick research on third-party text message billing and found that these companies only make between one-half to one-third of what they bill out to their customers.  The cell phone companies take one-third of the money and the payment gateway service also gets one-third.  Leaving one-third to this “third-party” service.

So if this texting service only charges 99 cents per month and bills 30,000 people their cut will be approximately $10,000 per month.  If they bump up what they charge to $4.99 per month they will be making over $45,000 per month!

So how do YOU set up this type of service?

Companies like TextMarks or Telemedia allow people to set up their own premium text messaging services for free!

TextMarks is the easiest premium text messaging billing service to use and it allows people to set up a keyword for use on their short code of 41411.

You could set up the keyword, FastCash, and when anyone sends an SMS text with the word, FastCash, to 41411. They would be signed up for your premium SMS service for either $4.99 or $9.99 per month depending on how much you want to charge for your service.

Now the difficult part will be advertising and getting people to sign up for your keyword.  That is unless you want to go the mass spamming route like many companies out there do.  However, there is one other easy trick to gain subscribers!

Bill the Cell Phone Companies!

Why not charge the cell phone companies themselves with your premium text messaging service?  Simply go to all the cell phone stores in your area and sign up all the demo phones for your premium text messaging service!

Each of these demo phones will be billed monthly for your service.

Just in a ten mile radius from my home outside of Cedarhurst, NY there are 5 AT&T stores, 5 Verizon stores, 4 Sprint/Nextel stores, 3 T-Mobile stores, and 1 Helio store.  These 18 cell phone stores had a total of 456 demo phones which I was able to sign up for my $9.99 a month service.

So even after the cellphone companies take their 33% cut and TextMarks (the SMS billing gateway) takes their 33% cut,  I am left with around $3.33 per subscriber, which is great!  So with 456 subscribers at $3.33 per month I am making an easy $1518.48 per month.  That’s enough to cover rent even in some of the most posh parts of Jew York City!

PROCESS SUMMARY

1) Go to TextMarks and sign up a for a text message keyword on the 41411 shortcode.
2) Set up your keyword for premium billing and charge either $4.99 or $9.99 per month.
3) Go to all of your local cell phone stores and use all their demo phones to sign up for your 41411 keyword.
4) Repeat this process on more demo phones at other cell phone stores.
5) Wait for TextMarks to mail you a monthly check.  It will be $1.50 per subscriber if you charge $4.99 or $3.00 per subscriber if you charge $9.99.

The more subscribers you get the more money you will make!  This billing also reoccurs every month!

I got my first check last month for $1,518.48 and this is just getting started!  I plan on heading into downtown Jew York City where there are hundreds of cellphone stores containing thousands and thousands of demo phones!  Things will just keep getting better and better and I will keep making more and more money!

Did you actually get away with this? Did you get paid?

As far as I can tell, there are no more websites offering free premium sms accounts. Now they charge set up fees and a monthly charge in addition to their cut. And some of them even have a clause that unless you have 500 INBOUND messages or more a month, then they won’t pay you for your measly 499 subscribers. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong and let us know which company you’re using.

If you really did this, you are beyond smart, how you thought of this is beyond me and my IQ is 160. I have to give you props. But, what about the legal side? Can’t you get in trouble?
