Do any of you guys pay money for any content to be delivered to your mobile phone? Or do any of you guys do any sort of Text2Win, Text2Screen or receive text messages from any companies via your mobile? How about paying for ringtones, wallpapers, or music downloads?

If you do any of those things, would you mind posting about them a bit? Where you get them, what they offer you, why you went there instead of somewhere else, things like that. I'm doing some research on how to improve the wireless premium services that my company offers, but I know nothing about the concept, really.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

I usually buy ringtones, etc. directly from Cingular.com because they are my wireless service provider. They actually greatly lack selection in some categories, but the reason I get them there is that they can apply the charges directly to my phone bill, saving me extra hassle or having to give credit card numbers online. So while I often wish they would improve their selection, the convenience can't really be beat.

I get text messages on my phone from anyone on my MSN Messenger list, along with the standard cell phone to cell phone, and recieving them is free. I'm charged only for any outgoing messages, same with calls in general. I'm charged 2$ per ringtone/wall paper and 7 for phone games and all that, plus my 10 cents per page internet charge, so it's reasonably inexpensive if you don't abuse it.

I get all my stuff from Fido.com's webpage since they're my cell provider and they more or less piggyback/steal files from most other providers, giving me a bit of everything.
