Bill McCollum Takes on 'Free' Ringtones

Still licking his wounds from losing the Republican gubernatorial primary and refusing to endorse GOP nominee Rick Scott, Attorney General Bill McCollum announced on Friday that his office had finished cracking down on cell-phone providers offering free ringtones and other content that ended up costing Floridians more than they thought.

McCollums office investigated numerous complaints about additional content and charges, and found that recurring charges -- some up to $20 a month -- were popping up on bills. Having reached agreements with Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, McCollums team announced that Sprint would now provide more accurate information to consumers about costs and services. Sprint kicked $800,000 to the state to help pay for the expenses.
