Current Service Impacts:

Wireless and wireline services in hurricane area impacted by flooding and
power outages.

Long distance voice and data service to Sprint local telephone customers
in Florida panhandle impacted, also to customers in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama; traffic rerouting efforts underway to avoid a key switch in
the damage area.

Sprint Nextel's Enterprise Incident Management Team, the group which
oversees disasters such as hurricanes, will be deploying a Mobile Command
Center with full network and Information Technology capabilities to
coordinate Sprint Nextel's massive recovery effort.
