They also try to trick you into buying ringtones as well by giving the impression that they are freely available---until of course you try to download it to your phone.

I just use tracks from my CD collection on the phone. ringtones like "Light My Fire", "Reeling in the Years", "Sweet Leaf" or "Anarchy in the UK" are not available for download in any case.

My kids have MP3 playable phones and I download for free from the net for free. Saves a fortune.
