Q) How can you offer Free SMS when the rest of the world charges for it?
A) YouMint can offer you Free SMS because we get our advertisers to sponsor them for you. You can send SMS upto 80 characters long. The remainder is used by our advertisers to append their messages. The interesting thing is that the Ads that will get appended will be contextual in most cases It could be quite cool! For example, if you sent a message to a friend asking them to meet for a coffee, you could actually see a Cafe Coffee Day advt displayed at the bottom - offering you a cool discount!

Q) Why am I not receiving promos? When do I start getting them?
A) Our sales team is on the job getting the advertisers signed up to use YouMint for promoting their products and services. Some very large advertisers are using YouMint to communicate with our members, like Star Movies, Nokia, TimesJobs, SimplyMarry, Juxt Consult, Max New York Life, Tata Sky, Barclays Bank, TripMela, Bharat Matrimony and several others.

Here are some possible reasons why you may not be receiving promotions from us:

1) Your Profile is incomplete: Promotions are sent to you based on your profile i.e who you are, where you stay, how old you are, how much you earn, what your education level is and many other factors.  Please make sure your profile is complete in all respects. If we dont know who you are, we wont be able to send you any promotions.

2) Mobile is not verified: Please make sure that your mobile number is verified on YouMint. You will not receive any promotions from us if your mobile is not verified.

3) Email Address is not verified: Please make sure that you have verified your email too. We wont be able to send you YouMint Cash Mails until you do this. If you have not received the verification email from us then all you need to do is send a blank email to verifyemail {at} YouMint.com and we will manually process your request. Please ensure that you send the blank email from the email address you used to register on YouMint.

4) Inactivity in your account: Please ensure that you open the emails we send you. If we see constant inactivity from your end, the YouMint’s promo algorithm will not send you any more promos. You need to be an active member on YouMint to receive promotions from us. We dont send promotions to inactive members.

If despite that you are not receiving promotions, please get in touch with us on support {at} YouMint.com and one of our support team members will investigate it further.

Q) What is the difference between “Network” and “Friends”? I have 20 friends in my friends circle, but no money in my wallet?
A) There is a difference between your “Network” and your “Friends”.

Your “Network” comprises of the people YOU have invited to YouMint and thus are members because of your invitation. You get paid only for those that are part of your network.

Your “Friends”, on the other hand include those in your network as well as other members on YouMint, who may be members already. You can make friends with anyone on YouMint who accepts your friendship request.
