I have an idea for promoting lots of mobile adverts: 1. Setup an access proxy for mobiles. 2. Configure the proxy to replace adverts from other provides with my own affiliate adverts. 3. Update users phone to use my proxy. I can already do part 3. My questions are: Do people already do this...

What about signing up as an affiliate of a tyre website and then promoting in the local country? I did a quick google search for tires affiliate and plenty came up.

Is anyone here doing automated voice calling? We have partners in the UK who get lots of automated calling with pre-recorded announcements. If the callee is interested they press a button to be put through to a call centre agent to upsell. Anyone have any experience with that?
