Three pounds for a realtone? Do they usually cost that much?

Seems about right for a realtone ringtone..
Edit: Just downloaded the NTFT ringtone... only 15 seconds long. Pah!

I can't understand why anybody would waste £3 of their money on that sort of thing.

Especially since Crazy frog would be cheaper and better.

What a crock of crap.
I can think of other things to spend my £3 on. Like, some cough medicine, so I can get secretly drunk at work.
Much more fun.

Is it only for UK residents ? Would like to get one...

It's UK residents only, but it's well worth a trip to London just in order to get it.

Why most (technically literate) people would spend money on buying ringtones in this day and age I've no idea. Anyone with a computer and modern phone can easily get their own music onto a phone.

The UK tax payers paid for my ringtone (not that it will be used)
The ringtone scheme is a good idea, if it was for 'exclusive' ringtone tracks. I'm sure the Boys could knock up some short electroey samples in a few hours to use as ringtones and make a few bob out of it..

They'd make a few extra if they made them available in Finland.

No wonder my Council tax is so effin' high.
I would actually put your "purchase" down as some sort of theft. We (I) pay our taxes in good faith, not for you to spend on crap ringtones.
Now get out there and do what us UK tax payers pay you to do.

Haha. But your council tax doesn't pay for Sussex! There is no aspect of theft as I did not 'dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another...'
I would get out there and do what you (and me) pay me to do, but I'm on a day off!
Going back to ringtones/phones.. PSB could branch out and offer phone screensavers, games and have a mini WAP site. It's a shame they left it about 3 years too late...
