USA Mobility Reports Third Quarter Operating Results;
Board Declares Special Dividend on Common Stock

Subscriber and Revenue Trends Continue to Improve
Merger Integration Substantially Complete
Bank Debt Repaid, Company Debt Free

Alexandria, VA (November 9, 2005) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging services, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005 and a special dividend of $1.50 per share payable in December. USA Mobility was formed on November 16, 2004 by the merger of Arch Wireless, Inc. and Metrocall Holdings, Inc. USA Mobility’s historical financials are those of Arch Wireless, which was deemed the accounting acquirer in the merger.

Reported revenue for the third quarter of 2005 was $152.0 million, compared to $109.4 million in the third quarter of 2004, with the increase due entirely to the inclusion of Metrocall revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Third quarter revenue decreased 3.5% from $157.5 million reported for the second quarter of 2005.

Reported net income for the third quarter was $355,000, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, compared to net income of $6.7 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, in the third quarter of 2004.

USA Mobility reported a reduction of 232,000 units in service in the third quarter. Units in service totaled 5,116,000 at September 30, 2005, with 4,342,000 direct units in service and 774,000 indirect units in service. One-way units in service at the end of the third quarter totaled 4,662,000 while two-way units in service totaled 454,000. Average revenue per unit for the quarter was $9.04, with revenue per direct unit in service of $9.81 and revenue per indirect unit in service of $4.81.

“We continue to see positive trends in the rate of unit and revenue decline,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “Unit losses of 232,000 during the third quarter compared to 272,000 during the second quarter, 347,000 in the first quarter and 388,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004 (reflecting the inclusion of Metrocall for the entire quarter). This is an improvement in the sequential rate of decline from 6.1% to 5.8% to 4.8% to 4.3% over the past four quarters. In addition,” Kelly noted, “third quarter revenue declined 3.5% compared to a decrease of 4.9% in the second quarter. Although current trends do not predict future results, we are very encouraged by these quarterly results.”

Kelly also noted that USA Mobility made significant progress during the quarter toward completing its merger integration goals. Key achievements included further consolidation of the company’s operating and management structure, repositioning of the company’s sales and marketing strategy, and making substantial progress in network rationalization, including the decommissioning of the Arch two-way network and most notably a long-term master site lease agreement with Global Signal, Inc. that is expected to greatly reduce USA Mobility’s network costs. “We have spent the first half of the year integrating the operations of the two companies in order to create a low cost operating platform with which to service our customers and generate cash flow. More recently we have focused on longer-term strategic initiatives on both the revenue and cost side of our business. While we cannot share every detail of our plans with you for competitive and other reasons, we look forward to providing more information at an investor meeting we plan to host in the first quarter of 2006 in New York City. We will provide the exact date and details of the meeting in the coming months.”

Thomas L. Schilling, chief financial officer, said the company continued to improve its financial position in the third quarter. “During the quarter we repaid the remaining $26.5 million balance on our bank credit facility, resulting in a debt free balance sheet and enhanced financial flexibility,” he said. “In addition, our cash balance at September 30^th was $43.3 million.”

Kelly added: “As a result of our current and projected cash position at year end, our Board of Directors has declared a special one-time dividend of $1.50 per common share, to be paid on December 21, 2005 to shareholders of record on December 1, 2005.” Kelly said the Board has made no determination on future uses of cash beyond the one-time dividend, “but we will regularly evaluate our options for returning capital to shareholders based on the company’s operating performance and future capital investment requirements.”

Among other highlights of the third quarter, Kelly noted, was the company’s outstanding performance in the immediate aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. “Due to the reliability of our networks as compared to competing wireless services, plus the preparedness of our technical and customer support teams in the field, we were able to provide one-way and two-way paging and text-messaging services when most other wireless networks had not yet been restored,” Kelly said. “As a result, hundreds of emergency service responders — including hospitals, utilities, police, firefighters and government agencies — were able to maintain critical communications. We also supplied thousands of additional pagers to federal, state and local emergency response organizations to help respond to the crisis. While these disasters were devastating for those affected,” Kelly added, “we were pleased to do our part.”
