Jamster sued for false advertising

jamster-logo.gif Jamster, a ringtone and mobile content sales company, has been sued for false advertising, reports Mobile Tracker.

"The suit which was filed in San Diego states that Jamster falsely advertises that users can get a free ringtone. In reality said ringtones cost $1.99.

Jamster is the U.S. name of Jamba, a German mobile content provider that VeriSign acquired in June 2004. VeriSign is no stranger to consumer wrath. T-Mobile USA and Cingular Wireless are also named on the suit, presumedly because they allow Jamster to bill for "free" services."
