Spend your money wisely

$20 for a paltry eight ringtones is such a racket. I hope people realize that for less than that, they can buy a program which will enable them to create their own ringtones.

Plus, I've looked at online ringtone selections before and listened to the preview clips. These companies somehow almost always manage to clip the part of a song that I *don't* want in my ringtone. When you create your own ringtone, you at least have control over which part of the song is being used.

Not so new...

T-Mob did something like this last Christmas and will do it again this year. You buy a $25 card and get like 18 ringtones instead of the 12 1/2 $25 normally buys. I think all companies should do something similar all year round, one month at a partial discount doesn't quite cut it.

First to offer content gifts?

If I recall correctly, Sprint lets you purchase content and "Send as a gift" to any other Sprint subscriber..and have for a long while.

Last year Alltel was offering $10 cards good towards any downloads!
I don't see any claims being made by Cingular that they are the first to offer these types of cards.

WOW CINGULAR. JUST BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT DOESNT MEAN ILL BUY IT

Cingular has introduced a new way to screw it's customers. Less savvy parents will buy this for their kids and probably never realize that they are getting the screw. And what about data rates? Does the gift card cover the usage? Doubt it.

Lemme run to the ATM...

4 downloads for $10 and 8 for $20? Ridiculous pricing.
