I Complained to the ASA...
About Jamster! 
Here it is... I wonder if it will help get rid?
"Making a complaint - your complaint summary Your complaint has been submitted. Here is a summary:
Title:Miss
Forname/Initials:****
Surname:*****
Address:*** ********* **** ****,
********, ************
County Cambridgeshire
Postcode:*** ***
Telephone number:***** ******
Email address:****.*****@ntlworld.com
Type of advert you are complaining about Television Advertisement
Where you saw the advert: Just about bloody everywhere. ALl ITV Channels, and all cable music channels to name but a few.
When you saw the advertisement: Just about all the bloody time. Every day, and at the moment I'll be damned lucky if I only see the damned thing 50 times throughout those 16 hours that I am awake.
The advertisers: Jamster!
The product:Ringtones. Such as, The Crazy Frog, Sweety & Fluffy, Nessie the Dragon. I am sure there are others (shudder)
Your complaint:Firstly, I object to the amount of times that we are subjected to this god damned tripe. Secondly, the frog appears to be exposing itself. I mean, have you ever seen a frog with a ****? Well, you have now. So not only is it confusing to smaller children (who I might add shouldn't even be viewing this kind of crap) but it's verging on pornographic too.

Did anyone else see the one screened after the Trevor McDonald "Happy Slapping" program where one of the "Sweety & Fluffy" or whatever they are character cracks the other 'round the head before they burst into the purile tripe ringtone. 
Who exactly buys into this drivel
They seem to be making a mint, but I can't fathom out why anyone needs a phone to do anything except ring when someone calls, beep when someone texts or maybe shoot the odd fun pic. What a cartoon frog adds to the functionality I don't know

What about the fact that when you order a ringtone or subscribe to buy one, you are then charged 3 quid every week until you realise, that you are infact being charged 3 quid a week!!!!
Doesn't say that on the advert does it ? OR on their website either a complaint was made by myself and they told me id have to give them my name, address and all my bank details so that they could refund me!!!!
DONT THINK SO JAMSTER!!!!!!!!
anyone had simular experiences ?

£3 a week for a ringtone is shocking - You can almost get a phone on contract for that.
Subscriptions for stuff like that should be banned - you should pay flat fee for it and thats that - although that tone is so annoying most people will only have it a week anyway.
