I just hate the jamster ad's on TV, for example on MTV there always on in the ad's (and most other music channels). I dont think the channels realise there losing viewers cos I image most viewers (like me) switch channels as soon as they see them annoying ringtone adverts (I especially cant stand that “crazy frog” one).
I’m sure there’s a text to unsubscribe from them something like “text STOP to 8080”, if anyone knows the unsubscribe text please post it to help other’s get these coning company’s from taking our money!

@meths: No harm in trying. It may look like a couple of complaints at the onset, but you'd be shocked how many others would speak up and take a stand once someone steps up. "All that it takes for evil to flourish..."

i heard a while back that these companies were being forced to just use the word "STOP" as a method to unsubscribe, instead of all sorts of stupid codes.
a couple of years back i was sat in the pub half drunk when i got about 6 texts from a company called O2FWD, like an idiot i subscribed to all 6 services but then deleted the texts with stop codes. all i could remember was that they were all different and all crazy, something like: 1g4d5s.
up to this day, if i had credit on that sim,i still get about 12 texts a week from them at 25p each, all "amazing" facts that i actually dont give a damn about and dont make my life better in any way!

Do Jamster have a website that would have the 'stop' codes on?
I personally wouldn't touch these kind of companies with a barge pole, paying £3-4 odd pounds just for a ringtone is ludicrous, let alone them then sending you random crap and charging you a similar amount. If you want different ringtones for you phone, go on to ebay - there are sellers on there that will sell you a CD with literally thousands of ringtones, pictures, images etc. for £3 or £4 - the same as one rip off tone from somewhere like Jamster.
I agree too - whenever I have a music channel on and that advert comes on yet again, I get an almost uncontrollable urge to put my fist through the TV, which is a shame, as the original video/cartoon is very funny!

I feel sorry for any one who falls for this.
a) You can get the content for free of the net
b) Its a rip off
c) Once your in your trapped
Theses companies need sorting but it does always say on the adverts, scrolling across the bottom.
Just teaches you to always read the small print!!

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!
