Mini-Lovey by GameVil (Korea)
Tamagochi which lays eggs After you raise one character to full

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.
