Ringtones- the biggest scam pushed in America

[bluecoyote]

Ringtones are overpriced, sound crappy, and are way too short.

Interesting news articles, but the carriers need to stop kidding themselves. If a full song costs $.99 on iTunes, a ringtone should cost a penny. $.25 should be the maximum cost ever for a ringtone.


Making matters worse is the crap Jamster is schlepping. A creepy looking blob "sweety the chick" singing some annoying song, a perverted, "horny" rhino telling people to shake their thing, a stupid looking dragon singing the captivating lines of true romance: "Here I am, look at me, it is now or never." (You had me at "look at me!")

The entire ringtone market is horrendous- preying off of stupid little kids. If my kids ever purchased a ringtone, I'd be sure to beat everyone involved in the transaction senseless. (And a time out for the kid.) Sure, the kid is dumb for purchasing the ringtone, but $3.00 for a damn sound clip is insanity.

definetly, but thats why there are free ringtones sites (thank god)... but I agree 2.50 is REDICULOUS for a ringtone and it also expires in 90 days.

yea true if you pay for something you should be able to use it as long as you want no matter what the price may be
