This page explains how GeoPoll works, how it pays, and then looks at PocketsFull as another option for surveys and offers.
What GeoPoll is
GeoPoll sends research surveys to people's phones through its app, by two-way SMS, and through web links. The company says these SMS surveys are free of charge for the person answering them.
Completing a paid survey or task adds GeoPoll credit to the member's account. That credit builds up until it is redeemed, and a redemption option only appears in the app once enough credit has been earned for it.
Besides surveys, GeoPoll also runs other app tasks, such as taking and submitting pictures or recording how other apps are used, plus a referral bonus when a new user signs up with the member's code. Community polls are unpaid, and some surveys carry no incentive at all, which is stated in the opt-in message before the survey starts.

Facts checked on
How does GeoPoll work for members?
A member joins by downloading the GeoPoll app for Android and registering with a phone number, or by signing that number up for SMS surveys without a smartphone. The app's join page shows a button for a version on another mobile operating system, but no listing for that version was found in the matching app store.
Surveys are sent to different users each time, so a member might get a survey one day and then none for a few days, according to GeoPoll's FAQ.
Does GeoPoll pay, and who can join?
GeoPoll does pay out credit, which is redeemed as airtime, mobile money, or PayPal, depending on the country. Airtime is available in select countries to prepaid subscribers, PayPal is available in select countries, and mobile money through M-Pesa is offered in Kenya.
No full list of countries where people can join, or which countries get which payout method, is published. The lowest amount that can be cashed out is, on average, the local-currency equivalent of USD 0.5 across any redemption option, though GeoPoll says it can be higher depending on the mobile network and the option chosen.
GeoPoll's FAQ gives two different timeframes for redemption: the main answers say an airtime top-up can take up to 72 hours, while a second block of text at the foot of the same page says redemptions can take from a few seconds up to 48 hours and can only happen once every 24 hours. No minimum age for members is stated in the community FAQ, though the privacy policy says the service is not directed to people under 13.
