Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

(Operator Instructions) Our first question is from the line of Rick Prentiss from Raymond James

Charlie Kesio - Raymond James

Hey guys thanks for taking my question is actually, This is actually [Charlie Kesio] sitting in for Rick.

Tim Yager

Hey Charlie.

Charlie Kesio - Raymond James

I am just want to start with if you guys have noticed any impact I do not know if you have really, but you have noticed any impact from the Sprint's launch of the Huston limited product?

Conrad Hunter

This is Conrad. I mean, we have decision to monitor [goose] product we have, we think its definitely competitive products but we have not, we are watching it and so far we have not seen a huge impact but what you think it can be a strong competitor and we will continue to watch and monitor.

Charlie Kesio - Raymond James

And kind of following that threat like any updates on some types of pre-date products from yourself?

Conrad Hunter

Oh yeah, its one of those situations where we continue to do our best to get prepaid offering rolled out. We have it seems like we continuing run into roadblocks as it relates to getting those systems implemented with Sprint.

We are continuing to work as diligently as we can with Sprint to breakthrough to launch them there. And we will continue to update you. Unfortunately, it's frustrating for us, we definitely want to have a prepaid offering out there. And I think, boost some limited and Sprints ability to offer that is only furthers our need to get a prepaid offering out there.
