First, check the MENU softkeys to see if there is a GOTO or GO TO LINK option as some mobile devices do not allow you to click on a link contained within a text message. If there is no GOTO option available, your mobile phone may be unable to link to a mobile web page from within a text message. If this is the case, you won’t be able to download content to your mobile phone and won’t be charged. Please check with your wireless carrier to see if your device is enabled and how to access web links from within a text message. The products you buy from GETMUSIC are charged to your monthly mobile phone bill. GETMUSIC cannot credit your bill directly for purchases you’ve made from GETMUSIC.
