Overview
Update: Great news beginning December 5, 2003, nine new areas will also be able to take advantage of the Nextel National 1000 Plan through December 31, 2003. As a recap, the current areas eligible to offer the Nextel National 1000 Plan are Ohio Valley, Central Valley, Alabama, and Texas.

Please see sub area section of this bulletin for details. These new areas will now have a tool available to close valuable business through December 31, 2003!
Data indicates that the institution of WLNP as of November 24, 2003 would negatively impact several competitors with significant share of wireless users in your sales area. As such, Nextel decided to take an aggressive stance to accumulate as many of these carriers? most-valuable customers as possible.
Through December 31, 2003, Nextel will be offering the National 1,000 Plan...a plan expected to help you "break through" the competitive barrier and acquire the cream of your competition?s existing business base. For $54.99 these subscribers will receive 1,000 anytime minutes, unlimited Night & Weekend airtime, unlimited Direct Connect, nationwide long distance, voice mail and caller ID included!
Introducing?the Nextel National 1,000 Plan: 1,000 Minutes With Long Distance Included for only $54.99!
Customers can also choose to buy up Unlimited Nationwide Direct Connect access for just $10 more per month!
Please note: For advertising purposes only the above plan will be positioned as a 10,000 minute plan ? 1,000 Anytime Cellular, 4,000 Direct Connect, and 5,000 Night and Weekend minutes as research has shown that customers respond favorably to a finite bucket of minutes.
Date of Availability
The Nextel National 1,000 Plan will be available through December 31, 2003.
Product/Program Detail
The following business rules apply to this plan:

? Group Connect calls are $.15 per minute per participant. Group Connect is available only in your local calling area.

Positioning
The Nextel National 1,000 plan features more anytime minutes than any National competitor?s plan. What does this mean to the customer? While most national wireless carriers may highlight ?big bucket? plans with Unlimited Night and Weekend minutes as standard, Nextel is the only major carrier to offer this as part of a comprehensive, integrated wireless solution by combining 1,000 minutes, Unlimited Nights and Weekends as well as Free Long Distance, and Unlimited Direct Connect minutes that are not limited to a small M2M footprint ($.10 per minute charge applies for NDC use).
This plan is in place to help break through to the competitor?s customer base who?ve chosen to take their phone numbers to other providers after November 23, 2003.
With Unlimited Direct Connect Minutes, 1,000 anytime cellular, and Unlimited Night and Weekend minutes, customers can use their Nextel phone whenever they need to. There?s virtually no limit to daytime or nighttime use. And with the added benefit of Nationwide Direct Connect access, for an additional $0.10 per minute per participant, customers can talk coast to coast. This makes this plan ideal for business users who have a strong need for cellular calling during business hours and need a phone for evening and weekend use. It?s also ideal for heavy Direct Connect users who want to use instant communication with virtually no limitation. Group Connect minutes are available at $0.15 per minute.
And that?s not all; this plan also includes long distance--all for only $54.99. Customers who have a need for long distance and are heavy cellular and Direct Connect users will find this plan an ideal solution for their cellular calling needs.
