Maybe I got it wrong but it seems you have to pay to get the initial download before you are able to send it over bluetooth.

Er, I think you misunderstood that...
All files (MP3s) are available to download to your computer for free (apart from a few specially created 'ringers'). If you have Bluetooth, you are welcome to download the MP3 files to your computer (for free) and transfer them to your phone yourself via Bluetooth (for free). (You need to know how to transfer via Bluetooth, but it's easy on a Mac.
The site doesn't charge for content; you only pay for an 'Over the Air' download account which gets you as many OTA downloads (which are WAP Push messages containing a link to the file) as you like (if you don't have Bluetooth for example).
Hope that explains it!
