Jamster Tries to Clean Up its Act
The company that was made famous with its annoying yet popular Crazy Frog ringtone is trying to make peace with angry parents. Under investigation in the UK and sued in California for its business practices, Jamster rolled out a brand new ad campaign along with parental controls over downloading.
Parents are now able to enter phone numbers into Jamster's new Guardian service that would block those phones from downloading content. Critics of the service say the company misleads customers by advertising free ring tones that actually cost SMS charges in addition to a $1.99 fee. VeriSign, the company that now owns Jamster, believes these new features will help to allay such concern.
