Virgin Mobile USA has launched the SugarMama service, netting you a minute of talktime by watching 30-second ads on a PC or receiving SMSes that warrant a reply. There is monthly cap of free minutes you can earn each month (currently set at 75 minutes) by watching commercials from giants like Pepsi and Microsoft. One must be really hard-pressed to be a slave to SMS ads and waste your time watching ads just to earn a measly minute of talktime. One moot point is this - if you cannot afford a minute of air time, what makes you think you can cough up enough for an Xbox?
