With the high demand for ringtones these days there are many companies and websites offering free ringtones. Many people blindly go to these offers, enter their information and download their favorite ringtone. However, later they discover that these so-called free ringtones are far from free.

Many of these offers come with fine print that is often never read. It is only when the bill comes that people start to wonder what that fine print really said.

Recently I received an offer for a free ringtone. It was from a company that has been offering free ringtones for quite awhile. When you get to their site you are asked to enter you cell phone number, choose your free ringtone and enter your zodiac sign. It looks like a great deal to most people. However, if you scroll to the bottom of the screen and read their terms and conditions you will soon realized it is not such a great deal after all.

Once you submit you cell phone number to get your free ringtone you will be subscribed to their service. The cost of this service is $9.99 per month for the ringtones and $6.99 per month for their horoscope package. All in all, that "free ringtone” will end up costing you $16.98! Not such a great deal after all.

This is not the only company running this kind of smoke screen offer. There are many more and some charge even higher monthly prices. One program I looked at charged $3.99 per week!

Ringtones are a wonderful feature to have on you cell phone. They let you show your personality and allow you to customize your cell phone to fit you. However, be careful where you order them from and also be extremely diligent when ordering any free ringtones. Always be sure to read the terms and conditions so you understand what you are really ordering with that free ringtone. Many times it will end up costing you in the long run.
