I see it daily and its funny as you like,
if people are stupid enough to want to get a ringtone etc without reading the small print you all deserve to be in the so called "clubs"
on the other hand for any of you that are in these "clubs" replying with STOP to the 5 digit short code will stop the service its a iminent requirement from what i can gather.

I don't think it is funny when you see this happening. Soemtimes people have no alternative to use these services to get their ringtones etc, as their phone has no way of sending data to it from a PC or another phone.
It is time that regulatory bodies of the world stopped these companies from trading, or made it clear to them that once they have sold the ringtone, they are not to charge the customer another penny, and if the ringtone purchase doesn't work then the company should be forced to sort it out, without charging the earth to do so.

I agree about the regulatory bodies doing something. But then we can act too. The power of information can be harnessed here. Post about them in forums you visit. Write letters for publication in newspapers. If you have a personal site, carry reports there.. etc. The idea is: Do Something. Speak out publicly against injustice.

I subscribed to them by accident while trying to download a tone!
I lost £6 credit leaving me with 22p just enough to send "stop" to END the SUBSCRIPTION.
Will jamster send me any more texts that will charge me or should I be OK?
And if not what should I do to stop them.
I want to top-up on monday knowing Jamster won't rip me off again! |

I have contacted billing@jamster.co.uk
and they've offered me a refund of £5.
Now I have to sort out how they're going to get it to me! |

If you live in the UK, try www.neversquare.co.uk, you get to send a number of midi ringtones to your mobile for free, they only charge you when you explicitly buy credits. The only thing with these guys is you have to find the midi files yourself on the web but that's easy on www.musicrobot.com |

I bought a Jamster ringtone ( the party bee one ) and when I got it, it only played like 5 seonds of it, then replayed it self. I am so dissapointed in them. I send them a comment saying that if they dont fix it, that im going to cancel their plan and give bad recommendations until they fix it. but I was so happy that i got the ringtone, but then I heard a it, and it just says:
The buzz in town, i'm commin around, so come with me me, cause im the party bee.
thats it, then it just repeats. AhhH!!! |

In the UK this is, or is going to be made, illegal practice.
Contact ICSTIS with dates & times and so on and they should look into it.
Also contact your mobile operator.

hi i just wanted to say that i have found out how to get rid of jamster wot you do is call 0870 121 7397 they are called jamba but it is all the same thing jamba and jamsters are the same wot you do is call the number and ask the people to block the text messages and stop you subscribing to the service full stop the call is to germany but your local rates appily so dont worry about the phone bill charge and they refund all of the credit that they have taken but they will only refund it into a bank account hope this helps

anotehr way is phone em and tell your under the age of 16 and cant by law sign you up to anythnig!!
they will soon stop texting you!
9 times out of 10 you have ti go on the web to download rington anyway so why not just go to your service providers webpage and do it from there??
