Make £5 a month from iphone

Options
Hi,
I have just got an iphone (4). Up untill now, I have always been on pay as you go and I spend about £5 a month.
The new phone is still going to pay as you go (on Giffgaff), but I am tempted to start using the bundles that cost £10 a month and give free internet.
Was wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can make the phone pay for itself - i.e use the phone to make £5 a month so it pays the cost of me having internet goodness lol.

Initial ideas I have are:
Use the Quidco check-in app (good for a few pence a month maybe?).
Use the scanner thing to scan bargains when I am in shops to see if I can sell them on ebay/amazon for more.
AQA? Although whenever I look they are not taking applicants and not sure how much that makes anyway.
Any suggestions?

    There was an app called Field Agent (I think)...I did one assignment/survey but didn't do anything else. I remember one person on here doing up to about 100 assignments over a weekend and getting a really good little sum for it. Do a search and see if it comes up. Most assignments were checking billboards or advertisements in pubs.
  • Ty for response. I'll have a look, when I get the phone to actually work lol.

    Hi,

    Here are the ones I use on my iPhone:
    • Field Agent: completed a few assignments, usually between £5 and £8 and take less than 10 minutes to complete (plus travel). Pays via paypal (up to a week to get payments)
    • AppRedeem/AppTrailer: install apps or watch apps trailer for points you can redeem via paypal (150 points= $0.15). Payments sent as soon as reward is claimed
    • AppXpert: 20p per app review, haven't tried it yet
    • MOBROG: surveys on the go
    • Survey: ditto
    • Quidco
    • Gympact: brilliant. You make a pact on many times you'll go to the gym a week.People who stick to their pact share the money from people who don't. Obviously this app can either make you loose money or make you loose weight.
    You'll really get pennies with them except Field Agent with which you can get a decent amount if you are in a city and have a car.

    Enjoy and please share if you find more worthy apps.

    If you don't mind having a 'monitoring' app on your phone -this one is quite good - not sure if it's just android only though...

    Actually there are installation instructions here for apple products so should work for you.

    Nielsen don't allow referrals, so this is a direct link to signing up.

    AND yes it is only for android phones not iPhone.
