The first reply text message will ask Entrant to opt-in by replying with his or her age to receive SMS communications about this Sweepstakes and other SimCity updates, provide location of official rules which may be found at www.simcity.com/sweeps and require acceptance of the official rules. Entrant will then receive a second message requesting Entrant’s proposed SimCity Building Name which follows the Guidelines below (“Entry”). Entrants will receive a third message verifying that that their Entry has been received. If their Entry has already been submitted exactly as entered they will receive a notification asking them to submit a new name. This process will repeat until the entry is unique. An Entrant may text/reply “STOP2end” to 44144 to cancel out of the Sweepstakes and/or opt-out of receiving SMS communication from SimCity.

Proof of sending a text message to the short code is not considered proof of delivery to or receipt by Sponsor. Text messaging is not available in all areas of the United States. Each text message entry must be manually key-stroked/entered by the Entrant. In case of a dispute as to the identity of a text message Entrant, entry will be declared made by the authorized account holder of the mobile device phone number. “Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person who is assigned a mobile device phone number by the wireless carrier or as shown on the carrier’s billing records. An Entrant’s wireless service provider may charge the Entrant standard text messaging and data rates for each text message, including any error messages, sent and received from his/her mobile device according to the terms of the Entrant’s individual calling plan with his/her cellular provider. An Entrant must have a text messaging two-way capable mobile device and digital service to enter using the text messaging method. Text message and data fees for both text messages that are sent and received may apply. An Entrant should contact his/her cellular provider for applicable fees, pricing plans and details prior to participating in the Sweepstakes.

If a winner is a text message entrant, the prize will be awarded to the primary individual named on the wireless account from which the text message was sent. In the event a winning account selected is a joint account, a total of one prize will be awarded in the names of the joint account holders.

Alternately, you may enter by sending an email to SimCitySweeps@ea.com with your name and address and proposed SimCity Building Name. If the Entry has already been submitted exactly as entered, you will receive a notification asking you to submit a new name. This process will repeat until the Entry is unique. Entrants will receive back a unique code associated with their Entry.
