How to Get a Free Prepaid Phone Card for Taking Surveys
Participating in online surveys can be a great way to earn items in exchange for a few minutes of your time. Unfortunately, many websites claim to offer free rewards, such as prepaid phone cards, when they really don't. The reality is that there are very few legitimate survey companies that reward you for your time. Not all of the legitimate companies offer prepaid phone card directly, but they will reward you with gift cards that can be used to buy the phone cards, making them free.
Things You'll Need

Earn prepaid phone cards from Swagbucks.com. Visit the website, and you will automatically be redirected to the sign-up page. Enter your information and log into your account when prompted. Click the "Earn" button at the top of the page, then select "Trusted Surveys." These surveys will give you swagbucks, the currency of Swagbucks.com. Once you earn enough of these points, you can exchange them in the Swag Store by clicking the "Redeem" button at the top of the page, then "Reward Cards." Scroll through the list of cards until you find the one you want to purchase. Click on it, then press "Check Out." The reward cards offered by Swagbucks.com change often, so be sure to check back if your cellphone provider is not listed.

Create an account with Opinion Outpost. This Web site pays you between $1 to $5 dollars for every survey you take. After your account accumulates $5 dollars, you can cash out with Amazon.com. If you do not already have an Amazon.com account, you can sign up for free and add the money to your account by clicking the "Gift Cards" option at the top of the page, then "Apply to Account." You can then purchase prepaid phone cards directly through Amazon, making them free. The benefit to using this method is that unlike Swagbucks and Valued Opinions, Amazon.com always offers a wide range of prepaid cards for every cellphone provider.
