Can anybody explain this.......

How does it work?
The whole texting things? Buying a ringtone, wallpaper, music video, joke, etc.
Even that stupid ass thing where its like "Win a PS3!"
I understand it is all done through a server. Who gets the money? Do you have a seperate bill or is it through your wireless carrier? Does your carrier bill you more>

Just curious.

Theres like a million little asterisk things in tiny font and the commercials are pretty quick.

I get that, but how do they do it? It says you have to be like 16 or some young age. Or have some kind of parental approval via text and then you only have to be like 13. Then they automatically sign you up until you cancel?

Basically. They will bill you through your carrier. My sister did it on the phone i got for her. Took 3-4 consecutive months to get it off.
