–Report Unauthorized Cell Phone Ringtone Charges–
Why Am I Being Charged For Ringtones I Never Ordered?
If you don’t know why ringtone charges are on your cell phone bill, you are not alone! Many, many cell phone consumers have complained about having unauthorized ringtone charges mysteriously show up on their monthly cell phone bills.
When you called your carrier to complain about the unauthorized ringtone charges, did your carrier tell you that you must have authorized the ringtone charges, even though you know for a fact that you didn’t buy any ringtones?
After insisting that you must be wrong, did your phone carrier pass the buck and tell you to contact the carriers’ aggregator or billing agent about the ringtones? After you contacted the aggregator about the ringtones charges on your bill, did they refer you to a mobile content provider whom they insisted obtained your authorization to bill you for ring tones?
Were you unable to reach the ringtone content provider to dispute the issue? Were you unable to unsubscribe to the ringtone subscription service that you never signed up for in the first place?
You are not alone.
Do You Even Know What a Ringtone or Ring Tone Is?
A ringtone or ring tone is the sound made by a cellular telephone to indicate an incoming call and is most often used to refer to the customizable sounds available on mobile phones.
Monophonic Ringtones
A monophonic ringtone is a type of ringtone that is only capable of playing one sound at a time.
Polyphonic Ringtones
A polyphonic ringtone is a cell phone ringtone where more than one note of a song is played at the same time (up to 40 notes can play at the same time). The polyphonic ringtone offers a more complex sounding song than the monophonic ringtone, and can emulate different musical instruments, simulating a digital orchestra in your pocket when your phone rings. Polyphonic ringtones lack one thing: the ability to use digitalized audio samples.Realtone or Truetone RingtonesTrue tone ringtones, also called real tone, realtones, full music ringtones, voice tones, or MPS ringtones can play actual music. The true tone ringtone can play fully digitalized audio samples such as MP3s, including the vocals. Realtone ringtones are far more advanced than polyphonic or monophonic ringtones.
