how do i know i can participate in a specific premium text messaging purchase program or buy a specific mobile content item?

Mobile campaigns and mobile content are open to subscribers of most wireless service providers, unless the advertisement states it is sponsored by and only available to subscribers of a specific wireless service provider.
 
If you send a text message to the advertised short code AND Cricket supports that particular campaign with its associated content provider, you will receive a text message asking you to accept the charge, terms and conditions.
 
If you send a text message to the advertised short code AND Cricket does not support that campaign with its associated content provider, you will receive the following text message: “Cricket does not participate in this program at this time”.  Cricket consistently evaluates programs to determine whether to participate.  Please check back regularly as we are adding campaigns often.
