‘Text, Tell Your Friends, Get Paid’ referral program enables members to be compensated when friends text

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TexTango, a free mobile application for text messaging, announced a three-month referral program for members. Starting today, for every member that current users refer, they will make ½ a cent for every sponsored text message their referrals send. According to CTIA, nearly 188 billion text messages were sent on average each month last year.

“The ‘Text, Tell Your Friends, Get Paid’ campaign is a great opportunity for TexTango users to share the experience with friends and be rewarded for the texting both members are already doing,” said Russell McHugh, TexTango SVP Business Development. “If a member refers 10 friends who each send 1,000 text messages in a month; that equals $50 in referral cash, on top of current TexTango earnings. Meanwhile you have helped your friends make some extra cash.”

Participating non-profit 501c organizations can also take part in the referral program. Non-profits will receive a donation from TexTango based on the number of texters referred and messages sent each month.

During the three-month beta testing period, TexTango is looking for feedback from users. Feedback can be sent to feedback@textango.com.
