HooHaa product reviews

While this seemed like a good idea when it came out, I only ever got money off it once. And that was $5 of credit. At one point there was $10 owing to me, but this was never received, and no answer was ever given.
After about a month the txts lessened and I was lucky to get even one txt a month. So it is no surprise for me to look online and see that it no longer exists. It is annoying though that I never received any communication about them closing down, nor where my cellphone number would end up, perhaps it's a good thing that my number has changed since then?
Should something like this come along again I will be very dubious about it lasting.

ADMIN NOTE: This service, and it's website, are still operating. The website has some technical difficulties at present, which may have led to the perception it has shut down. We are seeking full clarification from the operators of HooHaa.

When I first discovered a bannerad for this site floating around on TradeMe and decided to click it out of sheer curiosity, I had to wonder what brand of scam this was... after all, knowing that both of the major cellular suppliers in NZ won't usually accept payments of less than $20, it struck me as impossible to earn 10cents for receiving a TXT. After having a good hard read through the site, I saw that they they compound the 10c's until you collect 25 lots, and then they pay you out in multiples of $2.50.

It still seemed strange that they could do this, but after chatting to some contacts at each of the major cellualr suppliers, it was confirmed... this can, and is, being done quite regularly. Joy of joys, FINALLY there is someone willing to pay me to receive junkmail!

I have been signed on for a couple of moths now, and though I have only received a total of 5 txts (yup, a whole 50c worth!) it has been an easy experience... except for one TXT that came through and woke me up at 4am, but that was an accident and they even sent me a txt that afternoon to apologise! Nicely done folks!

The site itself has some interesting extras, such as weekly prize draws... when I signed up, the draws were for some excellent prizes, such as a DVD player, surround sound speaker package, TV, etc... now it's degraded down to a $5 credit drawn on Fridays... not unexpected, but a little disappointing that their contacts have dropped out so badly. (Any businesses wanting to make some excellent contacts and exposure may wish to consider talking to these guys, and flick them some nifty gear to give away...)

Overall, an easy way to earn some credit on your cellphone bill, but don't expect to be raking it in... the very best you can hope for is $1 a day, and that is about 100 times more than you'll actually get... but hey, in this day and age, isn't it nice to know that at least SOME of the junkmail earns you cash to compensate you for the time it takes to read it? It's a slow process, but it's free, it pay you, so why not?!
