Windows Phone Thoughts: Earn Free SMS Messages Through Mobikade

"GNS Europe in conjunction with Excite Japan Co Ltd., one of the largest portals in Japan, announced the UK release of “mobikade” – a highly successful ad-funded mobile social networking service from Japan. mobikade provides personal mobile space to keep track of what’s new in your life, by posting updates on “What’s up now?”. Users can also download a wide variety of cool games, mainly puzzle games such as Sudoku and enjoy them – all for free (except data charges to the mobile carrier). In addition to the above mentioned features, for every action on mobikade, users are rewarded with points. These points can be used to send FREE SMS messages to friends, or redeemed for a chance to win fantastic prizes every month. mobikade aims at acquiring around 200,000 users by March 2008."



I'm not a huge text-messager, but if I were, it might be interesting to check out the free offer from mobikade, provided I had the minutes to use it. It also has a Twitter-esque feature with "What's up now" for you stream-of-consciousness micro-bloggers. Also, the first 10,000 mobikade users can now send free SMS messages to any mobile phone from mobikade PC website, but you'll need to accumulate 30 mobikade points to do so.
