Ringtone as a gift - after a donation to the Red Cross

News is pretty slow today. Something interesting though posted on Ringtonia, former ABBA member Benny Andersson has composed a ring tone that will be sent to people who donate money to the Swedish Red Cross' annual Christmas collection drive.

"To get the ring tone, called Red Xmas, Swedes must donate about $6 by sending a text message from their mobile phones to a special number set up by the Red Cross. The donation will then be added to their phone bill, and a link to download the ring tone will be sent to their phones."
