Actions Taken On Your Behalf
Based on our findings, we have taken the following actions on your behalf in addition
to those listed in the Alerts sections in order to correct discrepancies with the carriers
and with device users in order to obtain the proper credits, and reduce your monthly
costs
1. Aquis generates a report on the 1st of every month that lists Suspends for the
previous month. If a phone was not returned when suspended that account
would be reduced from the current plan to the lowest plan available. This will
result in a savings of approximately $40.00 each billing cycle for the
suspended numbers that are not available for reuse due to the phone not
being returned. 5 numbers have been reduced this billing period to the
$40.00 Free-And-Clear suspend plan.
Approximate savings: $199.95 per billing period
2. Credits that are requested on the behalf of your account are monitored on a
monthly basis. If the requested credit is not applied in a timely manner, Aquis
pursues the credit with your carrier and ensures that the appropriate credit is
applied.
3. Aquis has been tracking and reissuing used phones on your behalf since we
started managing your account. Prior to this there was no organized process
in place to recover and reissue phones resulting in a new phone being
purchased for each new user. The savings realized by reissuing phones is the
difference between the cost of the new phone and the $150 rebate given with
each new purchase or approximately $40 per reissued phone.
Current Period Re-Issues – 19
Current Period Savings - $760
Total Re-Issues since contract inception - 634
Approximate savings since contract inception: $25,360
4. Aquis has implemented the process of suspending long distance service to
users that exceed their monthly-allotted minutes of long distance usage.
5.
On 01/18/2009 phone number x was ported off of your account by one of the
carrier affiliates and given to another customer who purchased a pre-paid
phone. All of the calls for the employee associated with this number were
going to this pre-paid phone that resulted in a number of lost calls and
possible lost accounts for your company. Aquis researched the problem and
remained on the line with your carrier representative for over 90 minutes until
we were assured the number had been ported back to the correct phone. Your
carrier indicated that the error occurred due to incorrect data entry on their
part.

Recommended Actions
Based on our findings, we suggest the following changes to your account and/or
company policies to help reduce costs and/or improve services.
1. Have all users sign the Use Agreement provided by Aquis that establishes
permissible use of their PCS device and makes them financially accountable for
misuse.
2. Stricter enforcement of Use Agreement followed up by collection efforts for devices
lost, stolen or taken by employees upon termination is necessary to reduce losses.
3. Determine guidelines for wireless web messaging and roaming.
4. Enforcement of Long Distance Use guidelines appears to be working successfully.
The following employees are the users that exceeded $20 of long distance usage in
the current period. Repeat users are highlighted. Please refer to section 11c for the
complete list.
