Curse you Jamster!
Honestly, who is getting sick of customers calling in demanding that we credit back these charges that we're not responsible for? And the insistance that they have the "holier than thou" attitude of it not being possible that they (or heaven forbid someone ELSE used their phone) subscribed for the service on the EXACT day and time as it displays on their invoice.
Also, who wants to track down where this Jamster operation is and raise some hell? Or am I just over-reacting?

It's basically a service that you see on commercials where you text the word tone or ringtone to a number, the most notorious one being 35555. After that, you start receiving weekly ringtones or graphics from the company known as Jamster. (Jamster is one of many.)
What they fail to say on the commercials (it is shown briefly in small print during the commercial, but never verbally said) is that they bill your service provider for using the service and then the service provider subsequently charges it to the customer. Then the customer calls in to the service provider for billing them a service that we do not provide, the company is merely passing the cost onto the customer who is the one who has to pay for it.

AND of course they ALSO don't make it clear that if you contact them ONCE you are signing up for $1.99 per week forever or until you cancel the service, which of course they don't make clear HOW to do in the ads...
I hate these people so much I want to wipe them off the effin' planet! Jamster and all those lame butt chat SMS lines that charge .99 EACH to send or receive retarded messages from other pathetic losers... ("LOL!" Ka-CHING! "TTFN!" Another buck! "Me too!" WHAP! "R u F r M?" This is worth a buck EACH?!) I had one poor bugger who got smacked with 1500.00 in charges all at once on one bill--he had zero idea all those stupid little text messages were bankrupting him.
At the least, it ought to be like 976 charges on a landlin...

Yeah I have had 4 cases now and I adv. the customer to just send another message to 35555 with the message "stop" and this will end the corruption that is Jamster.evil.
At first I had no idea what it was too, then some e-mailed me the T&C from Jamster with the info on how to stop and charges.
Everything is in this wonderful e-mail, if anyone wants I can post it here as it has everything to do with wireless service AND it's something everyone can use.

read my post in General posts : Tricked Out, named NOTHING IS FREE, my info there for the general public will hopefully help a little, and if i have to i'll re-post every day to keep it @ the top of the list so it's the first thing they see 🤣 LOL
...
I even had someone cancel over this yesterday, it wasn't Jamster, it was hippo.com.
...
This is how they got me, so I see how customers get mad. I did a search online for "free ringtones" ('cause i'm cheap, dammit) and came across a jamster site, I believe it was them under a different name but it wasnt outright jamster.com. I agreed to my "free ringtone" and had it sent. However, at the bottom of the next screen in really tiny print is something that sounds a little like "by accepting this ringtone you agree to a 3.99 per month membership." So when the charge hits their bill, of course they dont know where it came from.
Of course, this doesnt let the customer off the hook, damn idiots should learn how to read....oops, did I say that out loud?

And how, pray tell, do you do that?

on there is another one. www.myt160.net. dedicated to the t610 but has ringtones, wallpapers, and games that can be used by many phone. no MP3 ringers but those are simple to make on your own if you have a data cable or bluetooth. get software to cut the mp3 down to a 20 or 30 second clip and its easy.
...
Is that site totally free, or does it have a hidden subscription like Jamster?
