This might sound like nonsense but there are a lot of companies out there that are giving away the new iPhone 4 for free. Of course, they don't hand them out to random people on the street. They give them to participants in software testing programs.

You too could get one. Software testing might sound difficult but it really isn't. That's because there are two types of testing. First, the software engineers test the application to see if it meets all the technical parameters and then the company hands it out to regular people to get an idea about how it will be received by the general public once it hits the market and whether or not it's easy to use and intuitive enough for most people.

Taking part in a testing program is fun, easy and rewarding. Plus, you won't need previous experience or references and everything is done from home so the testing won't interfere with your day job or regular schedule. What you have to do is take the iPhone 4 they will give you with the application installed on it and use it for a week just like a regular buyer would. After that you will have to provide the software manufacturer with your honest feedback about their product.

And as a reward for your services you won't be paid in cash but you will get to keep the hot new iPhone 4 for free. Plus, you will be able to take part in future testing programs if you want and get even more free gadgets.

Everybody wants the newest and best gadgets, and this includes the very snazzy Apple iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, the price of the iPhone, at £300 on PAYG, puts the iPhone out of most people's reach.

But what if you could learn of a fantastic new way to get an iPhone free of charge? No contract is required for this free iPhone and anyone can take advantage. It's just a matter of signing up and having a go.

This brand new internet based phenomenon is taking the UK by storm after spreading across America at breakneck speed.

The system, based on web 2.0 social networking, was originally geared towards getting a free iPhone, but users can actually claim anything they want for free as long as it can be ordered online. This free iPhone system, featured and endorsed on BBC Newsnight, works by users utilising their online network of friends to refer each other to certain companies as potential customers. This exposure is extremely valuable to advertisers who pay commission to the free iPhone website, which is used to send you the iPhone, or whatever you choose.

All users need to do to get their free iPhone is sign up to one of the many freebie internet sites that are springing up on the net. Take care to select a legitimate site as there are many fraudulent sites that will claim to give you a free iPhone but will actually keep the money for themselves. A good idea is to check the site displays a proof page to show you that gifts really are given out.

Once signed up, you need to complete an offer from a sponsor, there are many to choose from and they range from free trials to spending £10 on a bet or a bingo site. To ensure your iPhone truly is a free iPhone, I always recommend you choose a free offer. Once you have done this, the sponsor pays a commission to the freebie site.

You then need to introduce others to the sponsors and they pay commission (up to £40) for each person you introduce. This money adds up until you reach enough money for the freebie site to buy you your free iPhone, or whatever it is you have chosen. You can even just take the money if you want.

The system began in America a few years ago and has been incredibly successful. After a slow start up in the UK the system is now spreading remarkably quickly and many people are using this as a great way to make some money or get hold of the latest gadgets in these difficult times.

The new iPhone is one of the most desired gadgets out there. But don't shell out the cash for it until you read this article. I will show you how to get one for free with minimum effort.
