The Earn Talktime app provides the incentive of paying for data recharges on the phones of users, as long as they fulfill their goals of promoting the app and using its supported apps.

The app's benefits are simple – after the user downloads it and continues to fulfill their end of the bargain, they can receive unlimited prepaid recharges, DTH top-ups, postpaid bill payments, [Flipkart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-wallet-1) gift vouchers and more. In order to receive these benefits, users can invite their friends to the apps through [WhatsApp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plugsms), [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-tipping-features), WeChat and SMS, and can also receive them by installing supported apps, by using data, and by taking part in the surveys that Earn Talktime sends them.

This app seeks to provide incentives to phone users to promote it and use its supported apps in exchange for money, ensuring that both sides benefit from the transaction.
