Who would of thought that we would ever see a headline such as Crazy Frog keeps U2 from top of charts? But there is now a controversy of this ring tone – well more specifically over Jamster the company that sells it.
It seems that people who are downloading this ring tone are getting recurring charges of $5 on their cell phone bills. When you sign up for the ring tone, you may be inadvertently signing up for a premium text messaging service.
According to the BBC The UK equivalent of the FCC is investigating the matter but it seems there are a number of English companies making money by getting people to sign up for this recurring SMS based service without their knowledge. Apparently small text runs along the bottom of the “tele” and if you don’t Tivo it (do they have Tivo over there) you may miss it.
Sure we have our problems in the US but hey, at least we don’t have to worry about the #1 song in the country being called Crazy Frog and we don’t have to worry about monthly recurring charges on our cell phone bills we didn’t authorize or understand (well, perhaps you can scratch that last one).

to whom this may concern. i have recieve several notices and billing chargesfrom jamster on my cell phone bill. i have now become seriously irritated. number one reason is that it has been mre than two billing periods and i still recieve charges and i have yet to download another ringtone. i am actually pissed! and if a reply could be sent id truly appreciate it. as a matter of fact i really just want to become unsubscribed. my nummber is 301-221-2498! please stop sending me these bills.please STOP!
I never signed up for this charge on my phone and I want to be reembursed for these charges to my phone. Some of us work really hard for our money and this scam is very unnecessary and will be reported.
