what kind of polli is this? both are the same option

A network gremlin just mean you dont have sufficient reception to run the internet thing they got goin on, its just their way of being funny.

The 8610 has a horrible reception, unless ure in a city, like i am, you hardly ever have full bars. So yea, just find a place with good reception, or download ure tones off the website.

I got the same thing for awhile. I think after a day or so, the link expires...or your access to that link expires, one of the two. You have to order the ringtone and install it right away really. They probably do this so you cant tell them it didn't work AFTER you installed the ringtone lol.

"network gremlins" is a slang term for connectivity problems. ie...congestion . sometimes just turning your phone off for a minute then turning it back on will correct the issue.
