Internet Fraud: dada.net on the cellular mobile web advertised and offered a FREE ringtone. There were no terms and conditions indicated. When you accepted the free ringtone, the terms and conditions icon popped up along with your acceptance of a $9.99/month contract with them for more ringtones to be charged to your cellular carrier bill. The terms and conditions were NOT displayed until AFTER you accepted the one free ringtone. This is a slamming practice. Potential users should be aware of this and place a block on their cell carrier from having this happen.

1. The free ringtone link from dada.net takes you to a different website, http://jmpbi.com/recommends/ringtones/ It appears this website is for the sole purpose of hooking folks in to a $9.95 per month subscription service. Further, this website is from Singapore, so you might have some trouble getting any refund from them. 2. The free ringtone page clearly states that it's a subscription membership at $9.95 at the bottom of the page. What's troubling is that as soon as you enter your cell phone number you're sent a text message from them. I don't like the way they do this, but this just goes to show that it's important to check the "terms and conditions" on any website BEFORE you provide any personal information. Here's their statements: ""* Participants in the complimentary/bonus ringtones offer become "ClubPack" subscribers, and will receive 50 credits good for ringtones, wallpapers, games, and other products, for their first month. After 30 days, "ClubPack" subscribers receive 20 credits for $9.99/mo. Boost, Nextel, Altell, MetroPCS and non-MMS capable Verizon Wireless users will get the Joke of the Day SMS alert and can redeem credits only for SMS packages. (Boost users are billed $6.99/mo.) Terms & Conditions: Carrier messaging rates may apply; Internet-enabled handsets are required. By entering the PIN code sent via text message to the cell phone number supplied by you on this page, you acknowledge you are subscribing to Flycell's ClubPack service at a cost of $9.99/mo. Participants receive 20 credits every month for downloading ringtones, wallpaper, games, applications, screensavers, themes, and SMS services such as Text Alerts and Mobile Match Up. For the first month of ClubPack service 30 additional credits will be deposited into a participant's account, which may be used to download 15 ringtones or other products and services Flycell provides. (Polyphonic ringtones and wallpapers: 2 credits each, non-premium games: 4 credits each.) The 15 complimentary ringtones offer is available only to AT&T, Sprint, Virgin, Cellular One and Verizon Wireless customers, and requires a paid $9.99 monthly subscription. (T-Mobile users can only download 8 items/mo. Boost users will be billed $6.99/mo.) Credits expire at the end of each monthly billing period. Also, Boost, Alltel, Nextel, MetroPCS and non-MMS capable Verizon Wireless customers will get the Joke of the Day SMS alert and can download only SMS services. All plans are subject to Flycell's Terms of Service. ClubPack subscribers may cancel by texting STOP CLUB to 69999.
