Unauthorize charge from Ring tone 20888 Playphone for $14.99 in my sprint account, they can not credit it due to is not part of their company, then who pays for it??? us, the consumers, what a way to make money, sneaking in your pockets.

Unauthorized charges

Just received my cell phone bill from Sprint and there is an unauthorized charge for $14.99 from PlayPhone Inc: Ringtone 20888 on 2/16/12. I looked this up on the internet and it has something to do with Twitter I believe. I don't even know how to use Twitter. It was too late to contact Sprint but I will certainly call them tomorrow. It should be illegal for this company to be able to charge my account for something I never requested or had any knowledge of. I see other people have this concern as well.

PlayPhoneInc Ringtone 20888

My wife was checking our phone bill and found a charge for $14.99 from PlayPhoneInc Ringtone 2088. She started raising hell with about it but I didn't know anything about it. Called Sprint and they were very nice and helpful. Credited back the charges and put a block on the number. Sent a email to PlayPhone Inc to cancel the service and refund the fees. Haven't heard back from them and doubt it will do much good but I made the effort. Like to know how they got my info.

$14.99 charge on my cell phone

I had two month's of unauthorized charges from RingTone 20888 and was very upset. I called Sprint and they could not take the charges off but did block my phone from any third party unauthorized emails. I want RingTone to credit me for these charges but I cannot find a phone number to contact them. Does anyone have phone number fr them. Sprint should get on board and start compensating customers for these charges!
