- Do not harm T-Mobile users.
- Provide acceptable performance.
- Meet regulatory compliance.
- Meet T-Mobile Device Management and LwM2M requirements.
Updates to device hardware or firmware/application software must be communicated to T-Mobile. Updated hardware or firmware/software must be approved by T-Mobile.
PTCRB stands for PCS Type Certification Review Board. It's a certification program established by leading wireless operators to define test specifications and processes to ensure device interoperability on global wireless networks. With PTCRB certification, operators and device manufacturers are confident of a device's interoperability with member mobile networks.
PTCRB testing and certification is executed by PTCRB labs. For more information visit https://www.ptcrb.com/.
