New rules for ringtone scammers

[Paul]

From BBC

Firms that flout rules on how ringtones and other mobile extras are sold could be cut off from all UK phone networks.
The rules allow offenders to be cut off if they do not let consumers know exactly what they get for their money and how to turn off the services.
The first month under the new rules has seen at least ten firms suspended while they clean up the way they work.
The rules have been brought in to ensure that the problems plaguing net users do not spread to mobile phones.

NEW RULES
Consumers must be able to switch off service with universal "stop" command
When consumers sign up they must be told what they get, how much it costs and for what time period
Once a month consumers must get a reminder about the subscription and that it costs
For every £20 they spend consumers must get another reminder about how to turn off the service
Print adverts must spell out prices, time periods and details of ring tone offers
