The Make Money Online SMS app is a free app only available for Android devices that pays you to receive text messages generated by their customers.  Simply put, you get paid to receive texts, that’s it.  It’s one of the many passive income apps that exist.

If you want to make simple money, albeit not much, it may be an app to consider.

In today’s review, I talk about the Money SMS app and how it works.

Let’s begin.

What is the Money SMS App?

As mentioned, this app will send out text messages to your phone and reward you whenever a text message is successfully sent.  You will automatically make money, no matter what you choose to do with that text.  You can immediately delete it or you can view it if you so choose.  Keep in mind that, unlike a lot of websites I review, nothing is expected of you to earn your money.

So, you’re probably wondering, why are they doing this?

To not bore you, SMS companies will often want to test their networks and they want to use your phone as a test subject.

According to the website, “a lot of Telecom SMS providers and mobile operates need to send SMS test messages to various countries to verify and ensure proper delivery.”

The app is 100% secure, simply meaning they don’t read any of your private messages or use any of your data.

Downloading the App

If you’re interested in this concept, then it’s as easy as downloading the app to your Android phone.  Remember, it doesn’t work for Apple devices, only Android.  And, you won’t find it on the Google Play Store, most likely due to it not being allowed.  That doesn’t mean it’s a scam, however.  It used to be on the Google Play Store but has since disappeared.

To download the official app, you can do so via the official website at MoneySMSApp.com.

You will download it, head to your phone’s settings and change the settings so that you can install third-party APK files from unknown sources.  It’s a very simple process and everything you need to know can be found here.

At the moment, the Money SMS app is only available in a select number of countries, mostly Asia, Canada and most of the United States.  The list of “eligible” countries changes, so if you don’t see your country listed on the list, it does change frequently.  I don’t have a definite list since they don’t state who can join, but if you don’t see your country while signing up, then you won’t be allowed.

Using the App

Once downloaded, you will then have to register your phone’s number to start making money.   This is required to start using it since they will have to send the messages to the number on file.

It’s important to note here that you pick the right country code as this will affect how messages are sent to you.

After you register your phone, you can then start receiving messages, in which you can get rewarded for.

What Kind of Messages Do They Send?

The thing about this app is that they don’t send out spammy advertisements nor do they bombard you.  Rather, what you will find out is that they send out random strings of numbers, letters, etc.  It won’t make sense, but again, your phone is being used for testing purposes.

And, remember, when you receive these texts, you don’t have to do anything.  In fact, the company asks that you don’t reply to it. Simply ignore the text and move on with your day.

How Much Do You Make?

You won’t make much, but this is almost a given, seeing how easy it is to make money with the app.

For every text you receive, you will make about £0.02 per message.  It’s not much.

However, you may be wondering how many texts you will receive.

Well, it depends.

On average, you should expect to receive about 30 to 50 messages a month, sometimes more, sometimes less.  It’s just going to depend on how often they send out messages.

In my research, you can expect to earn about $5 to $10 per year at most.  You could earn much more if you were to refer your friends since you can get a 30% bonus for whatever your referrals earn.

Cashing Out

When it comes time to cash out, you will need at least £2 in rewards to do so, which means you will need to receive about 100 messages to cash out.

You can choose to cash out via PayPal, Bitcoin or Litecoin.

Once requested, you will need to wait up to 48 hours to receive your cash.

Final Thoughts

2/10You won’t earn much, as you can see, but if you’re happy with about $5 to $10 for the YEAR, then it’s something to consider, seeing you don’t have to do anything.

Like a lot of options I have mentioned, there’s money to be made, however, it won’t be much.

So, in the end, it’s up to you.  If you’re happy receiving random texts and doing nothing for a few bucks, then sure, why not?  If not, there are many other ways to make that kind of money much quicker.

That’s going to do it for now.
