Getting Started
Below is and overview of all the resources available to help you get up and running with the T-Mobile devPartner program.
Register - Take a moment to register for the devPartner community to access additional information and tools regarding the devPartner program.
Get to know our Subscribers - while we realize your company may already be a veteran to mobile content development and have established development plans, we think it's helpful to have an understanding of our customer base. T-Mobile is unique in that we have a strong base of subscribers who can be described as "Young and Social" and "Family-focused".
Partner Ecosystem - from device manufacturers to content aggregators, T-Mobile has a vibrant ecosystem of partners, and we've pulled together a number of resources together to learn more about them.
Resources for building Applications for T-Mobile's network - although you may already have chosen both a platform and set of devices on which to focus your development efforts; we think there are many benefits to developing across multiple platforms and for newer devices in the market.
Resources for building Mobile Web Sites for T-Mobile's network - from the W3C to T-Mobile's own requirements; there are many best practices to follow when building a mobile web site.
Revenue forecaster* – with the T-Mobile devPartner program, partners can share in up to 70% of the revenues based on a variety of factors. In order to get a feel for how much revenue an application could generate, we’ve developed a tool that allows you to plug in different variables to see possible rough estimates.
Testing and Certification information - part of submitting your application or Mobile web Site for inclusion in the web2go catalog is the testing and certification process. Everything you need to develop with both testing and certification in mind is available to our devPartners.
Device resources - as the number of devices on the T-Mobile network grows, so too should a company's ability to reach more customers via these devices. We've provided information on all current devices, a gallery for browsing them based on features, and a loaner program to borrow actual handsets for development and testing.
Support - whether it's searching the knowledge base or participating in the devPartner community forums; there is an abundance of support resources available. devPartners can also purchase professional technical support by buying support credits.
Tools for establishing a business relationship with T-Mobile* - from within the My Account section, you can access all the devPartner Program documentation including the handbooks for development and the Participation Agreements which are signed on-line.
