You either need a data cable, infrared adapter or a bluetooth adapter for your pc in order to transfer stuff to your phone for free from pc... Or you atleast need a gprs connection for your phone...

LOL.  I know someone who has actually gotten stuff from those banner ads.  But I would NOT say it was free.  You have to fill out a survey and complete 2-3 of their sponsors offers, Like buying books or signing up for AOL for a month...Things you really wouldn't just go looking for on a regular basis.  Once you have completed the offers and paid a lot of money to their sponsors, then you get like a free ring tone.\n\nI have never met anyone who received anything like and X-box 360, or anything really valued over $5.00

I think yes. It was some offer or something on prepaid.\n\nits not entirely free. you do THIS. you get THAT.

If you check their other questions, you'll find that they are just fooling around. Most of the time, at least one of their other questions will be- "I'm 14 N want a cell phone. Mom sez No. What do U think." \n\nOr something to that effect. That text message dialect is a dead give away that it's just a kid playing around.

I had the same problem as you last year, when I was conned into getting a phone through SMS (claiming to work on behalf of Orange).  They sent me a new phone also a new number, (which I didnt request) which meant I was going to be paying 2 contracts at once.  I was not happy.\n\nI spoke with Orange and asked them to put the new phone on hold.  and eventually spoke with someone from SMS.  It was all sorted in the end, but my main problem was that at midnight on the 2nd day my new number kicked in and I was unable to use my real phone for a while.\n\nIt taught me a really valuable lesson.  I will never buy anything over the phone ever again!

Actually I believe they are trying to sign you up for auto-play that will play the numbers you pick everyday for something like $9.00 a month. I have been playing for a long time, not using the auto-play, which makes it free and have won probably $40 or so.

Yes it does. The ringtone is free, but the downloading charge from your cell company isnt.\n\nWhenever you download or send text, unless you have some sort of "phone plan" then you are paying for it. Its not much, but it is not totally free.

It's free to the sender.\n\nBut the recepient is charged by their mobile operator.

Same exact thing happened to my husband's cell phone.  We called the service provider and told them what happened.  They locked out that phone to ALL services, refunded us for charges that they incurred and forwarded the issue onto their fraud department.  All we had to do was get a new phone.  Kind of a pain, but it all worked out just fine.

I normally get them from phone Forum like "Imserba" or "i-Phone". If you can't get them there I really doubt it if you could get them anywhere else. What do you need? Contact me and I'll see if I have them.

Check with your cell phone carrier. If it's an annoyance issue, there may be a bureau that might track down the number and find out who it is, and most likely for a fee. Check with your carrier, even if it's a prepaid phone and they should be able to give you better info and steer you in the right direction that would help you out. Cell phones are tough because with the prepaid phones, anyone could use a fake name with it and a lot of people use them to conduct illegal business since they can dispose of them when they are used up and go and get another one.
