Free iPhone: How it works and why it’s not a scam.

Simply put, to get a free iPhone you must:

  1. Sign up to a website
  2. Sign up with one of their partners and complete an offer
  3. Set a few friends to do the same.

Sound’s easy right? Well it is. The problem is, a great number of people think it’s a scam which is untrue but totally understandable. Free? Giving away something for free?! Can’t be! And if you think about it, it’s not. It might as well be though; you can get it for as low as 10% of the retail price, if not less.

But to put all the scam talk to rest, let me explain why it’s not a scam and how these companies can afford to give away ‘free’ iPhones.

This is not a scam because:

  1. The companies that offer these free iPhones are affiliated with HIGH profile companies such as AOL, EBay, Blockbuster, GM, etc. Companies as big as they are wouldn’t affiliate themselves with scammers; it’ll be bad for business.
  2. The companies that offer these free iPhones are registered with the BBB (Better Business Bureau). The BBB is a leader in public services related to ethical business practices and dispute resolution. It is there passion to promote honesty and integrity in the marketplace. You can also check their site and search for the company offering the free iPhone; see if they ’scammed’ anyone.
  3. The economics of the whole process makes sense. When you sign up for an offer through their partners, they make money. Enough money to offer you a free iPhone and make profit.

I’m not going to sit here and try to sell you this. If you’re really interested - try it. If not - no lost.

If you want to try it, visit the How To Guide for assistance.

Free iPhone, Free iPod Touch, and News!

Well, I think we’re good to go on my free iphone!! I just waiting for a approval and hopefully nothing goes wrong this time..lol. As soon as I get it, I’ll post up some pictures.

If you’ve notice, the wait time on this is crazy - sometimes it is, sometimes it not - it depends on your referrals. That’s why I stress the fact that if you don’t mind doing multiple offers, definitely give the Free iPhone DIY site a try. It’s easy and free to sign up, just your email and some basic info. If you’re not interested, you’ll never have to put in your CC info!

Anyways, as soon as I get confirmation for my free iPhone, I will start the next contest. Remember, the contest will consist of another freebie site where all you have to do is sign up and complete 1 offer. Once all my referrals complete an offer and I recieve (what will be) my second free iPhone, I will randomly pick a referral and give it to them! Isn’t that great!?!?

On a side note, I’ve added some news for your reading pleasure - hope you enjoy it. I’ll be adding news more frequently from now on, hopefully, but you know how that goes.

On another side note, I’ve opened up a new site: Free iPod Touch. It has the same idea as this site, just dealing with the iPod Touch. If I get a good repsonse from it, I’ll make it a blog as well.

Anyways, later for now - remember the Free iPhone DIY site if you don’t want to wait for referrals and make sure you check out my Free iPod Touch site.
