The Jamster commercials started on MTV Australia here, and slowly moved their way to free TV, that's when it began to annoy me. Leave them on MTV, that's what you expect to see on that channel, heaps of ads, but free TV? No plz.

No crazy frog, but they still show a helluva lot of Jamster commercials on free TV, with stupid expensive features.

£3 per text message as far as I can remember (I mightn't be exact on the amount though), then unless you cancel your "account" with them, they send you between one and three messages a week. And, let's face it, how many of the people those ads are directed at EVER read the small print about cancelling it?

A charge for cancelling? That's so stupid, I bet 3/4 of the people who get constant messages from them don't even want that. Praying on the unfortunate mobile user...

Read the quote in my sig, BTW the one and only Mel said it

I agree it is a bad way to do bussiness, but all these people care about is making a quick buck, looks like they are doing a good job at that. Honestly, we all know 99% of the crap people try to sell us everyday we don't need, and what looks like a good deal most of the time turns out to be a bad one.

Always read the small print, although it is hard to do when it is only on screen for a few seconds. My vision is much better then 20-20 and I have a hard time making it out, smallprint in ad's should be outlawed imho

Indeed - Why does it say AdminCP Blue? A hidden style you've found?
