Thank you HJ.

Does anyone know what the prize in the monthly draw is?

For me, winning their prize draw it's not worth the risk of having my phone snatched at a postbox.

Do all your postings have to be mobile verified in order to stay on the panel?

My nearest postbox is only 2 minutes away (by car).  Ideally I would like to be able to record my outgoing test items using my home wifi (rather than using my Pay As You Go mobile phone while at the postbox) but am I right in thinking Spectos will not allow this?

Because it's SO expensive?

I have UNLIMITED CALLS and UNLIMITED TEXTS for under 17p per day
My DATA costs me 1p for every 10Mb THAT I ACTUALLY  USE (£1 per gigabyte) - usually an entire month is under £2 and I use it quite a lot for surfing and emails. 
Using the Mailagents app at a post box uses a few KILOBYTES
1p gives me TEN THOUSAND kilobytes

So you have a mobile phone and never use it outside ?

I use a smart phone that cost me £49 in Asda about 10 years ago

Well I've got an iphone and no, I'm not prepared to risk having it snatched while I'm focusing on that app at a postbox all for the sake of trying to win their prize draw.

For me, it's not the fact that it only costs a few pence per posting - it's all the other stuff my phone starts downloading once I switch the mobile data on.

I know I can switch a lot of this off but I'm not knowledgeable enough to feel comfortable about doing that.

I wouldn't consider having my mobile phone on a contract, however small the cost is. I just don't use it enough.
