As the always on-message Prince Philip recently said, all young people are ignorant. Which might explain why they are still spending so much money on ringtones. A new survey by ringtones company Xingtone reckons that the average teenager will spend £4320 on ringtones in the next fifteen years, which presumably means young adults are pretty stupid too.
The survey of 1000 10-25 year olds found that girls are more ringtones obsessed that boys, with 85% of the females surveyed saying they regularly buy ringtones, 60% of the boys were similarly hooked. The same survey also revealed that many of those surveyed, while happy to buy the overpriced tones, were concerned that they were being ripped off by some ringtone sellers - either by being sold shoddy quality tones or by being charged hidden fees.
Another finding of the survey was that three in five of ringtone buyers wanted to be able to create their own ringtones, which is convenient because, by a strange coincidence, that is the very service Xingtone offers.
