Hello,
Verizon customer here.
Got this LG VX8300 cellular.
A little help with Ringtones if you please.
What does it mean when I wish to purchase a Ringtone and I
see the following:
$1.99 1 uses
$5.99 4 uses
$9.99 8 uses

Does that mean the first time the tone plays it costs me $1.99???
And if it plays 4 times it costs me $5.99??!! What happens if
I play it twice? Or three times?? I'm confused. Seems insanely
expensive.

However, if I go to VZW Tones Deluxe and I look at the cost of a
Ringtone I see something like this:
Purchase: $2.99

Does that mean there is a ONE TIME COST TO ME of $2.99
and then I can use the Ringtone forever at no additional charge?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thxs

The above prices are for the application that you have on your phone to get
ringtones.
Each use costs you money. In the case above 1 time costs 1.99, 4 costs
5.99 and 8 will cost 9.99.

You do not pay every time the ring tone is used. After they are on the
phone they are free
to use

Tones deluxe is paying for the use of copywritten material, so that's why
the higher cost

Ahhh..so in other words, what they are stating in my example is the
cost of a package deal!
Buy one Rington for $1.99 or buy four DIFFERENT ringtones for $5.99,
etc.
Correct?
