Deputy calls for ring-tone sales probe

A LABOUR deputy has called for an investigation into the high costs of mobile phone downloads such as ring-tones and games and the companies that inadvertently sign children up to contracts.

Dr Mary Upton said she knew of a 10-year-old who entered into a contract with a company and ended up paying high charges.

She named the company, Jamster, in the Dáil yesterday and called for the Enterprise Minister to investigate.
