We’ve written before about whether those ringers that you expect to download are really going to be free. Read that article about “Are free ringtones really free?”

As we’ve said, often when you get to the site that supposedly offers free cell phone ringers you find that they aren’t really free. You only get the ringtone, for example, if you buy something else as well.

However there are also all sorts of free cell phone ringtone scams around too, and you need to be aware that these exist.

There are websites that just fail to tell you that when you order a ringtone you will be charged, and give the impression that the ring tones are free. Then when you get your bill you find that right there on your cell phone bill is a charge for the ringtones.

You’ve been duped. Told the ringtone was free when it wasn’t.

It’s a scam, and like many others on the internet there are many being taken in by expecting to get a free ringtone and finding out later that it isn’t free at all.

So if you’ve downloaded a ringtone and now dispute the bill that you have received expecting you to pay for it, what do you do?

Here’s a site that gives you a far more detailed explanation of your rights and what steps you can take to dispute the ring tone charge. It also identifies at least one of the companies that was, (at the time that dispute occurred) involved in these kinds of practices.

There are reputable companies offering genuine free cell phone ringers with no scam involved, unfortunately not all of them do.

Beware and know your rights.
