Certification Requirements and Best Practices
T-Mobile's requirements must be followed to pass testing. A certification test will verify that T-Mobile's requirements are met and if you have implemented any of T-Mobile's best practices. You can find the requirements and best practices, as well as some additional recommendations in the Mobile Application Handbook or Mobile Web Handbook.
T-Mobile also requires that you comply with the most current version of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) and CTIA-The Wireless Association® criteria described below. Note that there are a few instances when our requirements exceed these criteria (as in the case with mature content).
- MMA: Consumer Best Practices Guidelines for Mobile Content »
- CTIA: Wireless Carrier Content Classification and Internet Access Control Guidelines »
You need to become familiar with and follow the principles listed in the CTIA and MMA documents. These documents address areas like content, privacy, security and accessibility.
Mobile applications and mobile web sites that do not qualify for this program may not be submitted through the devPartner Community web site. Those applications and mobile web sites are outlined in the Stewardship Principles Schedule. If your mobile application or mobile web site does not qualify for this program, please contact our Business Development Group.
