+ Subsidized to attract targeted audience at multiple POS environments
+ Handsets are “disposable”

General Perceptions
+ Significant gains have been achieved due to appeal of inexpensive entry to seniors
(23%) & the youth market
+ Low MOU (68 min/mo), low ARPU ($13/mo), and churn (5.4%) are the result of
capturing
t i the th ‘safety
‘ f t user’’ space
+ Customers perceive Tracfone takes advantage of customers’ confusion over the use
of “units” rather than minutes as the standard for billing & account metering
