This app is excellent. You actually get paid for just connecting your device to the Internet and receiving SMS. It pays out just as soon as you request it. I have been using it for over a year now.
I've been using Money SMS for a while now, and I'm genuinely impressed with how straightforward and efficient it is. The app allows me to earn money passively by simply receiving SMS. Recently, I made a withdrawal of 2.02 EUR, and the process was seamless.
I will give it 5 stars. I've withdrawn twice. At first, I cashed out 2€ to see if it's legit. The second time, I cashed out 10€ straight to my PayPal account. Yes, it's legit. It's an amazing app to make an extra income.
Money SMS is the most wonderful app. It helps a lot with passive income, especially in these hard times. And when withdraw, it doesn't take long to reach your PayPal. I will recommend Money SMS to anyone.
When my friend introduced me to this app, I thought it was a joke. I just did it to please my friend, not knowing that I would make a little something. I always wanted to make extra income and this is the best app I would recommend.

Where does the money come from?
Money SMS is powered by TelQ Telecom GmbH, the world's leading SMS quality assurance provider. Here's how it works:
Telecom companies and enterprises pay TelQ to test their SMS delivery infrastructure across different countries and networks.
TelQ sends test SMS messages through these networks to devices in our global test node network — including yours.
When a test SMS reaches your phone, the app confirms delivery back to TelQ. You earn a share of the testing fee for every successful test.

Watch user review on YouTubeYour privacy, our priority
We believe in complete transparency about how your data is handled. Here's what Money SMS does and doesn't do with your information.
- Read or store your private messages
- Sell your personal data to third parties
- Share your phone number with marketers
- Access your contacts, photos, or files
- Track your location or browsing activity
- Run ads or share data with ad networks
- Detect only test SMS sent by TelQ or its customers
- Confirm test delivery results back to our servers
- Use your phone number solely for test routing
- Process SMS detection locally on your device
- Pay you for every successful test completed
- Turn off permissions or delete your account anytime
The only data we share is test results. When TelQ or its customers send a test SMS to your phone, we report whether it was delivered successfully. That's it. Your private messages and personal data are never accessed, stored, or transmitted.
Why is the app an APK?
Money SMS requires SMS detection features that Google Play no longer allows. This is a technical requirement, not a security concern.
- Security warnings are normal — Android shows alerts for all apps installed outside the Play Store.
- SMS permissions are essential — the app needs to detect test messages to pay you. It never reads your private conversations.
- An outside lab checked the app — MASA AL2 certified, valid to July 2027.

No. Money SMS never reads, stores, or shares your private messages. The app only detects test SMS messages that are sent by TelQ or its customers. These test messages contain machine-generated codes and come from specific routing paths, making them easily identifiable. Your personal conversations are completely ignored by the app.
The number of test SMS messages depends on testing demand in your region. Keep a stable internet connection and the app running in the background to maximize your availability. Our system prioritizes active, reliable nodes.
Money SMS pays between €0.01 to €0.03 for each SMS you receive. You can also earn up to €0.15 per SMS sent and €0.02 per silent test call. Additionally, the referral program lets you earn 30% of your friends' withdrawals. The 30% is counted only on what your friends earn from receiving SMS and test calls — not on their own referral income.
You can withdraw your earnings via PayPal, Bitcoin, or Litecoin once you reach the minimum payout threshold of €2. Withdrawals are processed within 48 hours.
