Jamster Sued For False Advertising

Jamster, the U.S. name of Jamba and German mobile content provider that VeriSign acquired in June 2004, has been sued for allegedly misleading young consumers into paying for expensive text messages.
The lawsuit, brought by Charles Ford, claims his daughter was lured into the service. Filed in San Diego last week, he accuses Jamster of fraud and false advertising. Advertisements claimed cell phone users can get a free ringtone by sending a text message to the company. In reality, those customers would afterwards get text messages from Jamster that cost $1.99 each, in addition to the carrier's standard per-message charge.
