Good news — the team has restored service and the servers are back in operation!

Scout and Runner both need a SIM and real calls. ScoutQuest does not. It is the research part of Scout & Runner — no SIM, no purchase, no calls, nothing to spend.

That makes it the perfect first step. You can try the Scout & Runner world with zero risk, see UPs land in your balance, and then decide if you want to go deeper into the Scout or Runner roles. If it does not work out for you, you have lost nothing.

What is ScoutQuest?
You find prepaid international call plans that carriers sell in your country, and submit the details for the team to check. That is the whole job — you are copying public information from a carrier website, packaging, or an in-store photo. You upload a screenshot or photo as proof with each submission.

How it pays:

• 5 UP for each plan an Admin approves. UPs are credited after the review, not instantly.
• Up to 10 approved plans per period = up to 50 UP per license per period. The cap is per license — if you run more than one license, each one has its own cap.
• Rejected submissions do not count against you. You can keep trying until you reach 10 approvals or the period closes.
• If you scout under your own license, the full 5 UP is yours. Under a leased license, it is split per your lease.

Good to know:

• ScoutQuest only runs during open periods — about 3 to 5 times a year. Between periods the tab shows "No submissions." That is normal, not an error. Turn on notifications so you do not miss the next one.
• ScoutQuest is part of the Scout role, and Scout spots are limited — 50 in most countries, 300 in the US. So claim a spot while one is free.
• The one rule that matters most: your submission must match your source EXACTLY — carrier name, plan name, price, countries. Copy, do not guess.

Bottom line: ScoutQuest is the lowest-risk way to earn UPs from Scout & Runner — no cost, just careful copying. Try it first, see how it earns for you, and then decide about the Scout and Runner roles.

A new task called Scout & Runner is now live in Unetwork. You can find it under "Connectivity verification" in the task tab.

This may be the most rewarding task the team has released so far (it looks super promising but I'm yet to verify this personally!). But it is an ACTIVE task — it needs your participation to earn UPs. It is not passive like keeping the app running.

What is Scout & Runner?

>It helps check that international phone call routes are working. You make real test calls from a phone, listen for the automated voice, and report what you heard. Real calls that work = UPs.

There are two roles:

- Scout — you find and test new call routes.

- Runner — you re-check routes that Scouts already tested, again and again, to keep them working.

Both roles pay UPs for valid, verified results. You can do both (not in the same session).

It runs on real phones and real SIM cards, so there is a bit of setup and some care needed — I'll post a full guide for Scout, for Runner, and for ScoutQuest (the research part) over the next few days.

The app update (1.2.1) is now live on Android. Here's what's new:

>Entropy — a new opt-in task, and another way to take part. Your phone quietly helps in the background. It's private, fully optional, and you can turn it on or off anytime in the Tasks tab. (Your device needs to be attested.)

>Better connection to Unetwork's services.

Good to know:

- The iOS update is still in review with Apple, and Entropy isn't in the iOS version yet.

Quick roundup of what's coming — more ways to earn UPs:

Entropy

>- Going live today! (Worth noting: Entropy isn't affected by proxies.)

Scout & Runner (S&R) — public launch is coming, in two phases:

>- Tue/Wed: staging access first for Ambassadors & SuperScouts.

>- Thu/Fri: public rollout of both Scout and Runner roles, after staging is validated.

Also lined up:

- More SIM and WiFi tasks releasing shortly.

- Several UI/UX improvements alongside the new tasks.

- iOS release still pending and on the list.
