Mafia Wars SMS 20 Free Godfather Points

Zynga introduced new sms notification service for Mafia Wars fans. Mafia Wars SMS (short message service) has upped the ante: players will now receive 20 free godfather points for signing up.


What is SMS? From the application page:

"With Mafia Wars SMS alerts, you can now get notified through a text message on your mobile phone the next time someone attacks you, your mafia member needs help, or various other actions.

In addition, by being signed up, you'll get other benefits such as exclusive promotions and access to mobile only content. Finally, all actions are tied with your Facebook account!

*Your Mafia Wars account will be credited with 20 reward points 30 days after service activation."

In other words, if you subscribe for SMS, you will get your in-game news feed sent to your cell phone via text message. There is no additional charge (aside from your own cell phone carrier's rates for text messages).

You can also filter what news items you want to take, so you can disable the notification for general events such as getting attacked. It seems that if you can help other players to work through the service in addition to participating in other social settings.

In the future, there is also supposed to be "exclusive" content SMS. First, I want to wait for this exclusive content to go on my cell phone number in. On the other hand, despite 20 points freely Godfather is very exciting!
