No Third Party Billing

SYRACUSE, Indiana—May 16, 2006— "Have you ever gotten a phone bill and noticed there was a charge from a company other than your phone company? This is third party billing," explained Tina McGuire, Manager of the U4 Store in Syracuse. McGuire further explained, "U4 does not do third party billing. The only items you will see on your U4 bill are U4 services, legitimate service fees and mandatory taxes." Ben Plikerd, CEO of U4, said, "Once third party billing shows up on your phone bill it is very hard to get a refund or get it removed from future bills." Plikerd continued, "U4 is a phone company. U4 is not a billing service. U4 realizes that third party billing is an issue for customers of Sprint and Verizon. U4 is not like the other guys."
