| Ads in ringtones? Not in mine.
Even considering that I use Verizon and not AT&T for my cell phone, they couldn't put ads in my ringtones. You see I use a USB data cable (purchased for $7 including shipping from eBay) and BitPim ( »www.BitPim.org/ ) to upload MP3 files to my phone. Those files become my available ringtones. Why anyone would pay extra for a ringtone is beyond me.
If they do go through with ads in ringtones, though, they had better be prepared for a big backlash. |

the whole idea is s*t*u*p*i*d
first,,,, how long an ad will be two seconds what you can state.... second, will they make you here the add before you can pick up the call... Third, are they considering doing these for the RingBack tone... that will be so annoying ...
And last... want more revenue... provide more and better services!!! |

| Stupid enough
Next thing they will do is put ads into your phone calls. They are stupid enough to do it. Maybe the RIAA will take cue from at&t and start putting ads onto a music CD. Maybe Apple will start putting ads into music downloads.
Why worry about computer viruses when you have ad viruses. |

Re: Ads in ringtones? Not in mine.
No, I paid $7 for a USB data cable for my phone. This cable can be used for other purposes (e.g. moving photos taken by my camera phone to my PC) and cost me a lot less than if I purchased it in a Verizon Wireless store. (From Verizon Wireless, the cable would probably have cost me $20-$30.)
Plus, even if it was exclusively used for ringtones, it was a one time purchase which enables me to use any MP3 file that I own or create as a ringtone. Compare that to Verizon Wireless who charges $2.99 for a "one use purchase" of a ringtone. |
