Carrier Freeze Notification

Many carriers freeze any network changes around the end of year to be able to deal with increased year-end volumes, and reduced staff. This will delay the provisioning of short codes. Please take this into account if you plan on launching new short code services towards the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

The carrier announced freeze dates are :
Alltel: 12/19 - 1/1
Cingular: 11/22 - 11/27 and 12/22 - 1/1
Dobson: none
Sprint/Nextel/Boost: 11/21 - 11/25 and 12/21 - 1/1
T-Mobile: none
Verizon: none

We will continue to process any new campaign orders and submit them to the carriers during that period.
