    i hate these adverts/companies with a passion. Something should really be done about them. I think i read on the ad, 2 messages per week at £1.50 will be received, if this is correct it works out at £12 per month! This is probly the same cost as some peoples mobile contracts!

    The reason being is they get a cut of the money so until there is a big outcry over them the networks are in no hurry to stop them.

    Personally I think its not the fault of the network but that the government should do something and change the law that we actually have to request to subscribe and not be automatically subscribed.

    never use these company's like, Best idea is to get the free polly tones from https://www.free-ringtones-free-logos.com and for music tones, if your phone has bluetooth buy a bluetooth dongle from ebay and transfer your mp3's over, that all i do with my d500.

    Ive never bought a tone in my life and never plan to.
