My new beer money phone is a keeper!

Running passive apps on 'burner' cell phones is one of my favorite ways to earn extra money online. It generally gives decent rewards for little (to no) interaction with the app(s), which means that I can earn a bit more while focusing on other tasks like posting on myLot or one of my blogs.
I bought a Verizon Wireless LG Optimus Zone 3 from work earlier this week... on a whim, because my employee discount is literally a steal. It got here on Thursday, and I finally got around to setting it up last night. The first app I tried out on it was InboxDollars. It runs great, only crashed once compared to the usual 2-3 times per hour I've been dealing with on the other phone I've used for it. I was able to max out my earnings on it for the first time ever, and I've moved onto the Swagbucks Watch app, which is running better than I've ever seen it run. I'm used to dealing with tons of buffering and pauses between videos on there, but this is running smoothly from one to the next with no apparent issues.
At this rate, it's going to pay for itself in less than a week. I'm seriously considering buying a bunch more to add to my farm... wonder how many I can get before corporate will flag me for possibly reselling them?

Maybe there is something to be said for Verizon products after all. I had their stick once and it was a pathetic mistake. The phone wasn't bad though. Very expensive however.

@yukimori .....I think that is probably how we will go too. We have a landline with our cable bundle and when the internet goes, it goes. I am sick of it. No way to call for help and I don't like that.

@celticeagle Do you have a cell phone, even one that doesn't have service? It's a federal law that they have to be able to make emergency calls even if they're not activated on a carrier's network.

LG's phones are typically very good, in my experience. I haven't been thrilled with the others I bought recently, but I suspect that's more from the fact that they're a bit too outdated to handle the apps I want them to run than anything.
I just made the switch to Tracfone a few months ago... no sense paying $50 or more a month when I can spend less than $20 for 3 months of service.

LOL! Pretty is loving the Samsung Luna I got at the Black Friday Sale in Walmart, too. She says it is running all the apps she uses better than the other phones she bought specifically for using with the apps. (I actually bought the Luna for me to replace my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, but it wouldn't let me log into Whatsapp or Waze. Both apps I use pretty much every day. I gave it to her and bought myself the ZTE Max Duo2 or is it Pro? (I'm not sure.) I just know it works, and works well!)
According to a couple of the links I got by Googling that, Yuki, you can buy three without a problem, but the fourth may easily see "men in black" knocking at your door. (I don't believe I'd risk that!
)
What you could do, though, is buy three from Best Buy, have a good friend (maybe one who works at Walmart ) buy three from there and ship them to you, have a good friend who works at Target or KMart buy three and ship them to you and your cell farm is up and running! 
Congratulations! (If I get fingered for explaining this to you, I'm gonna be peeved at somebody! 
)

Now I did wonder if I'd see you on this post, @DaddyEvil, as I noticed similarities...

@AkaPinay You forgot to list the 1,800 GB per month they use running those devices through their Wi-Fi every month! LOL! (That's roughly correct for that many devices and that amount of earnings!)

Make money online is very easy but not too much that can we get.

@reskyyandi There's an extremely low limit to what you can earn here, even if myLot doesn't limit our earnings.
If you're happy with the site, though, that's what matters.
