TDMA Service Sunset

Cingular will be shutting down our TDMA and Analog networks in early
2008 and will begin that process by turning down TDMA service in about
eighteen markets in 2007. Currently, over 99 percent of all minutes
used are carried on our GSM network. As a result, Cingular is
encouraging all of our TDMA customers to migrate to our higher-quality
GSM network.
