T-Mobile and Games/Applications

T-Mobile announced today that all J2ME games and applications need to be certified by their independent certification partner, True North Service, before they will be approved by T-Mobile and made available to T-Mobile subscribers.

This new requirement doesn't change the previous requirement that all J2ME games and applications need to be part of T-Mobile's white list of approved applications.

The new independent certification step needs to be completed before submitting your short code campaign to T-Mobile for approval, hence further lengthening the approval process and time-to-market for your campaigns. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time (at least 10-12 weeks) to go through the entire T-Mobile approval process.

If you currently sell J2ME games on a T-Mobile approved short code, you need to contact True North within 30 days to start the re-certification process.
