The last date for AT&T to accept programs this year was Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 12:00 PM EST (noon). Please keep in mind that programs submitted after this date will not begin the provisioning process until January 3, 2010.

All campaigns must be submitted to Sprint by 12:00 PM EST (noon) on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 (this is for the provisioning cycle occurring on Thursday, December 10, 2009).
