Not so free Ringtones, Logos etc

Mr_B_13

Interesting article on This is Money about the number of children being caught out by the "Free Ringtone" adverts that inadvertently then sign them up to receive a regular tone on a weekly (or more frequent basis) at premium rates.

PS - Has anyone else noticed that annoying frog ringtone/logo advert on the music channels that is apparently all the rage - you would think that the fact that he is naked from the waste down and his tackle is clearly showing would have got it taken off air by now.

I saw something on watchdog about this. TBH it worries me. My brother in law's daughter got a bill last week for £120 for the mobile and she's only 13.

I got the kids 2 Motorola V300 for Christmas and within 7 days they sued all the credit and hardly any calls or so they say has been used, so begs the question are they liaring or is there some hidden charge.

There old mobile never caused that much. Thos cameras phones are utter crap. Pictures are so poor and cost £1.50 to send, utter rip off if you ask me

BTW that frog tune you can get free or I could on Sunday evening from Jamster the company that advertises that awful frog got quite a few Little Britians before they started adding something to the tune. Just uploaded it to mobile from usb lead.

JAMSTER is one of those companys who are charging £3 a text message and were behind my daughter loosing £9 credit so be carefull.

I am using Jamster online no costs. Just doing, save as... on computer to save the tune them importing into pc via usb lead. I got quite a few tunes last night beofre they got wind of this or alternatively started to corrupte the tunes.

I wouldnt waste my money otherwise on overated tunes I think it a rip off.
