They are an all in one Get Paid To website. You can earn for reading emails, clicking ads, writing, signing up and they have a Get Paid To Play section coming very soon.

SurveySavvy – Proof Of Payment

I got paid $6.00 from SurveySavvy on January 18, 2008. This is my first payment from SurveySavvy. The $6.00 is from a total of 3 surveys. That comes out as $2.00 a survey for about 15 minutes of your time. Not bad. You must be invited to participate in surveys for this program. I would have waited to cash out, but I wanted to at least get a check from them once before building up my balance. Make sure you sign up and you will be automatically invited to take surveys every once and a while.

CashCrate – Proof Of Payment

GrandCentral

As many of you know, PrivatePhone by NetZero will officially end November 19, 2008.  This is extremely sad news since I have used this free phone service as a phone number to give out when registering for different websites just in case they decided to spam my phone number.  Since the shutdown noticed began in late December 2007, I have been trying to find a decent, reliable replacement.  Just recently, I have stumbled upon a new web-based phone service, GrandCentral.

GrandCentral is a free service that is provided by Google.  You can pick a phone number from your area code or at least an area code close to your location.  After you get a phone number, you can then use this instead of giving out your house number or cell phone number when signing up with different websites.  A great way to keep your privacy.  The only downside is GrandCentral is still in beta.  As of now, you can only join GrandCentral by invitation. This can be from another member who has invitation or by requesting an invitation from the GrandCentral website.  I signed up at GrandCentral’s website and hoped for an invitation somewhere in the near future.  I received an invite in 2 days. I highly recommend signing up and reserving your spot!

I will give you some background information about the actually service from the user end.  When someone called your GrandCentral phone number, they are asked to repeat their name and asked to wait while the subscriber (you) is contacted.  The call is forwarded to a phone number you give GrandCentral.  This could be any phone number, but it must be valid. You have to verify the number with GrandCentral.  You have two options in your account. The phone number forwarded to you phone could either be the actually phone number of the person trying to contact you, or your GrandCentral phone number.  I choose the GrandCentral phone number so if I do get a call, I know it is coming from my account, but feel free to do what you please.

This is what happens on your end on an incoming call. You phone rings (with the caller’s number or your GrandCentral number depending on your settings) and you answer the call (if you want).   An automated voice coming on and you have a few options.  You can accept the call, direct the caller to your GrandCentral voicemail, direct the call to your GrandCentral voicemail and listen to it, or accept and record the call.  The options are self explanatory.  Furthermore, there are some other cool features you can play around with on your GrandCentral account such as greetings, name recording, ringing options, screening, caller id and phone spam.  An awesome service by Google.

A Change In NetWinner

There has been some changes in NetWinner.  You are limited to 100 spins on the MoneyWheel every day. This is still a decent amount of spins and takes some time to go through all of them. They have also added a new game called Banko.  This is a game similar to Bingo where you have a design and numbers and letters are picked. You are limited to 10 Banko cards a day. I would still recommend joining NetWinner if you have not already.

PrivatePhone Shutdown

PrivatePhone was a free phone service offered by NetZero. It was great to have a phone number to give out while registering with GPT Websites and other services in case you got unwanted calls. It was a service that I highly recommended. However, I am sad to announce that the PrivatePhone service will be permanently shutdown on February 19, 2008.  I will try and search for a similar, reputable website that offers a similar service.  I have had no luck so far. If anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment.
