And yeah apparently Sprint has the Premium Service Block up a lot so just call and that would probably be the problem if you cannot get the text

Short Codes. Some are free, like AOL IM Forwarding, some are not... Like the ads you see on TV. Joke of the day, Singles Line, etc. These are common to be abused and cause fraudulent charges. When it happens most users call and have the service blocked (or specific 'short code') blocked. Also an issue on lines used by minors... go figure!!! This SMS download comes from a short code, hence if you have short codes blocked, then u wont get it. If you have them unblocked, then in theory, the only way to sign up for Premium SMS (the ones that charge) is to have actually subscribed to them...
