Mobile Cell Free Phone Ring Tones Trap!

After market free ring tones for your mobile or cell phone can be extremely costly and hard to get out of.

Many companies are preying on younger mobile and cell phone users, offering deals such as claimed 'free ringtones' 'cheap ringtones' and 'new ring tones'.

Rarely if ever are any of these deals free. They usually require the mobile phone user to enter credit card details or if your on a post pay service, they will try and debit the invoice to the person that owns that mobile phone.

Once you've been trapped by these claimed free ring tone scams, they can be very hard to get out of. You may have to make many phonecalls, sign paperwork and basically jump through hoops to get out of contracts.

These billing cycles start sometimes weekly and continue to recur every single week until you cancel. Some may offer new ring tones every week, but some just give you one maybe 2 ringtones then just start billing weekly! Very scary.

Many parents have had to bail their kids of trouble with mobile and cell phone bills alone, and then things like these custom 'free' ring tones can be the straw that breaks the back!

Whats your horror story with mobile / cell phone bills or free ring tones? (Please comment on the post below)
