MetroPCS Announces Signing of 1.5 Millionth Customer

DALLAS - February 28, 2005 - MetroPCS announces today that this week marks the signing of its 1.5 millionth customer. MetroPCS provides unlimited anytime local and domestic long distance wireless service for one flat monthly rate with no contract in metropolitan markets including Atlanta, Miami, San Francisco and Sacramento. This milestone is a direct result of the demand for wireless service that allows consumers to pay by the month and not by the minute.

MetroPCS service plans start at $35 per month for unlimited, anytime local calling and $40 per month for unlimited anytime local and domestic long distance service in the contiguous United States. MetroPCS service requires no contract and no credit check. "Our growth is an indication of how much our customers want and need a flat rate wireless service." said Roger Linquist, founder and chief executive officer of MetroPCS. "The demand for our product is a direct result of our ability to free people from the burden of counting minutes and signing contracts."

As a result of the company's strong growth, MetroPCS plans to begin offering service in the Tampa/Sarasota area before the end of 2005. "MetroPCS plans to continue to increase our subscribers in our existing markets and expand the company through the launch of new markets," added Linquist.
