A new scheme has been launched to teach teenagers to be more careful when buying ringtones and add-ons for their phone.
The premium rate watchdog is getting together with schools in England and Wales to educate pupils and to encourage them to carefully read the small print.
PhonepayPlus says they are still getting thousands of complaints from people who are paying more than they expected.
The main problem is subscription deals where someone thinks they've bought one ringtone, but have actually agreed to a monthly deal.
Is it worth spending money on ringtones and add-ons? Have you paid more than you expected for a mobile service? Did you read the small print properly? Will the scheme to educate pupils do any good?
