We are happy to inform customers using our shared 70589 program in the U.S. that T-Mobile has removed their suspension and the messages are now being sent/received through the T-Mobile network without any problems.

Network carriers in the U.S. are very serious about ensuring that their mobile messaging industry is protected and, to that effect, they do not hesitate to suspend/terminate short code programs which they see go against their rules & regulations.

Fortunately, in our case, the suspension was due to a misunderstanding which was resolved immediately, but occurrences like these should sound as a warning and remind us about the importance of providing mobile messaging services which are carrier compliant.

We would also like to take this occasion to announce that we have increased the annual cost of subscription services on the 70589 program from $49.00 per year to $99.00. Whilst this new rate may not necessarily be in-line with our low cost policies, we hope that it will help ensure only serious content providers to make use of services which are shared with other users.
