Re: Idiot Tax suffers a set back

I personally think all these Ringtone companies are con artists. The one that sold a "mobile torch" for £3.99 and neglected to mention you can often light up your phone just by pushing a key springs to mind. Especially as they totally failed to mention the fact that for just over £1 you can pick up an actual torch, which will light the area far more efficiently.

I also think that kids and young teenagers should not be allowed to have mobiles (in fact I think the Department of Health recommend against it).

However, I can see that if a thing is seen as being the in thing to have (and a *lot* of people seem to consider them to be a good thing to have), it is very difficult to persuade a 12 year old not to have it. They also may ignore any small print (assuming they understand or even read it).

TBH. the sooner these Ringtone companies go out of business, the better.
