Hmmmm....How annoyed am i?! Well, I'll tell you. I was listening to Chris Moyles this morning, and Rachel said you could download an Aled phrase for free. So I did it, and once it has already been downloaded there was a message saying the BBC don't charge, but you will have to pay your network's download rate. I'm with voda - so think it's £2.50.

It's not that I'm mean - but i would never have chosen to spend that money and feel cheated

I'm too old for radio one

You always have to check the Ts and Cs with these things. 'Free' rarely means free, sadly.

I know - i'm normally so clued up with this type of thing - i'm the type of person that never goes over my free mins and texts on the phone. I trusted Rachel on the Chris Moyles show.

The company I used to work for did a tie-up with a ringtone company once and we were all offered a 'free' ringtone as a sweetner. I didn't bother but one of the designers did - and found out later he'd been subscribed to a long-term download service and got billed for over £80.

That's disgraceful. A lot of kids got caught out with the frog ringtone.

Personally, I can't understand people paying for a ringtone. I just pick one from my phone menu.
