Messaging
Mini-Lovey by GameVil
(Korea)
Tamagochi which lays eggs
After you raise one character to
full size, it lays an egg that you
can send to your friend (in order to
do sort of super distribution).
When you send the egg to your
friend, somebody has to pay for it,
which can be you or the person
who wants to receive it.
If you decide to pay, a premium
SMS is sent to the other user. And
when the other user downloads
the game, the payment is charged
to you.
