"NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WITH SPRINT NEXTEL

THIS NOTICE MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Judy Larson, et al. v. Sprint Nextel Corp., Sprint Spectrum, L.P.
and Nextel Finance Co.,Case No.: 2:07-cv-05325-JLL-ES (USDC, DNJ)

THIS NOTICE PROVIDES LIMITED INFORMATION ABOUT A CLASS ACTION
SETTLEMENT.

Your rights may be affected by a proposed class action Settlement of
claims against Sprint, Nextel and/or Sprint Nextel. The Settlement
would resolve lawsuits in which plaintiffs allege that the Sprint,
Nextel and/or Sprint Nextel flat rate early termination fee ("ETF")
is illegal or was illegally charged. Plaintiffs brought this suit
on their own behalf and on behalf of all Sprint, Nextel or Sprint
Nextel subscribers who entered into a personal fixed-term subscriber
agreement for a Wireless Service Account for personal or mixed
business/personal use, with Sprint, Nextel and/or Sprint Nextel
between July 1, 1999 and December 31, 2008. Sprint Nextel denies the
allegations. Sprint Nextel has agreed to pay $14 million into a
common fund to be distributed pursuant to the Settlement benefit
rules set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Sprint Nextel has also
agreed to provide qualified Settlement Class Members up to $3.5
million in Non-Cash Benefits. Sprint Nextel has also agreed to not
insert a flat-rate ETF provision into its customer service agreements
for personal wireless service in the U.S. until January 1, 2011, but
may charge a pro-rated ETF during this time period. The Settlement
will release all claims that customers may have against Sprint,
Nextel and/or Sprint Nextel relating in any way to its flat-rate ETFs
and term contracts, and will bar future claims, unless the individual
excludes him/herself from the Settlement. To receive a benefit under
the Settlement, you must timely complete and submit a Claim Form. You
may obtain complete information about the Settlement (including a
Long Form Notice) and a Claim Form, and information about deadlines,
by visiting (precentral doesn't let me post the url here), telephoning 1-800-916-6940,
or writing the Sprint ETF Settlement Administrator, c/o Gilardi &
Co., PO Box 6002, Larkspur, CA 94977-6002. This settlement does not
apply to Government or Corporate Accounts. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO
BE PART OF, OR IF YOU WISH TO OBJECT TO, THIS SETTLEMENT, you may
exclude yourself or file an objection with the Court. To exclude
yourself, you must mail a Request for Exclusion Form, postmarked no
later than October 7, 2009 to Sprint ETF Settlement Administrator,
c/o Gilardi & Co., PO Box 6002, Larkspur, CA 94977-6002. If you do
not submit a written Request for Exclusion, you will be bound by the
Final Judgment entered in the class action. To object to the
settlement, you must file an objection with the Court by no later
than October 7, 2009. The Court, located at 50 Walnut Street, Newark,
New Jersey, will conduct a hearing on whether to approve the
Settlement, and if so, will determine what fees and expenses should
be awarded to class counsel. The hearing is presently scheduled for
October 21, 2009, but may be changed. Any Settlement Class Member may
enter an appearance with the Court through an attorney. If you have
already submitted a claim form, or excluded yourself from the
Settlement, you need not take any further action. Go to
(no url allowed by precentral) or call 800.916.6940 for additional
information. Please do not contact the Court or Sprint."
