Appears Freepay have stopped ringtone offers

As stated in title ringtone offers no longer seem to be appearing on freepay as offers, I imagine this will effect the amount of people signing up to their site.

Wow, last time I used them, those were the only offers available there...

I'll have a look at that.

Hmm, after having a look at istuff and ipods, apparently there are no offers Confused

It doesn't allow me to go to the offers page - it just sends me back to status.

Doesn't seem to bode well for any current Freepay users - will have to hunt around some forums for more info tomorrow.

I thought people were awate of this (as it's old news!).....Celldorado have pulled out of the U.K market due to high fraudulant leads. Other ringtone offers have also been removed from most sites due to the same suspicion.

Haven't heard a thing about it - some people were still looking for Freepay referrals so I assumed everything was dandy...

By "fraudulent leads", do you mean people that signed up but cancelled after it charged them about £4.50?

Because I think I might have been one of them...

It means people who used SIMs with no credit/not enough credit!

I forget, but didn't it ask you to wait until you were charged £13.50?

Almost certain people stopped it before a tenner (or just bought a sim with a tenner on, and never bother with that sim again...).

Let's be honest...

I was under the impression that the EU were probing these ringtone companies and this was why these sites no longer are offering ringtones.

is one arcticle but if you google ringtones and click on news, you'll get the gist.

yeah celldorrado pulled out of the uk and all freebie networks in the states aswell. gotta say that was really the whole reason people did freepay. (apart from the low ref rates). it was the only way we could bear the terrible support!
