Dear Valued Customer,

We want to update you on your Cricket^® service. As you know, Cricket service is better than ever, and we continue to lay the foundation for new innovations that will further change the way people communicate. With more than 80 percent of our customers using Cricket as their primary phone, Cricket leads a national trend by shifting calls and customers from traditional landline service to wireless phones. We plan to continue providing a reliable, high quality wireless alternative for customers and to remain a leader in the marketplace.

While Cricket continues to be successful, we do need to take steps to reduce our debt and thus improve our financial position. Since August, we have been working with our creditors to restructure our debt and, as part of that process, we have recently filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization. This filing is an important phase in our restructuring process, and we expect that it will enable us to emerge as a stronger business continuing to offer high quality, affordable wireless service.

Cricket service will not be interrupted as a result of the bankruptcy filing. During our restructuring activity over the last few months, we have continued to expand our service to include Cricket Talk and other new features while continuing to offer you the same level of service we have delivered in the past. You can expect that we will continue doing so in the future.

Thank you for being a valued Cricket customer.
