Not surprisingly, T-Mobile is now requiring that any end-user who is participating in a premium sweepstakes campaign is getting some mobile content delivered to the phone in return for the premium charge. Technically, the user is paying for the mobile content, and is getting the sweepstakes entry for free
As mentioned here, Verizon Wireless has a very similar requirement and I expect that other carriers will follow pretty soon.
I suspect that these changes are the direct result of the class action lawsuit initiated by a viewer in Georgia who participated in the 'get rich with Trump' mobile sweepstakes campaign while watching The Apprentice on NBC. See here and here for more details about the lawsuit.
