  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are found here > Appearance > Themes and there are 200 of them
  see also > http://theme.wordpress.com/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes anything stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgrading and restated again here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  To use a third party theme you will have to hire a web host and set up a self hosted WordPress.org install.

  There is no phone support here. If you set up a third party theme on another site then it was a WordPress.org install, not a free hosted WordPress.com blog. Please read > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
