Good Sam Club, Consumer Cellular Sign National Wireless Agreement

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 1, 2005 -- The Good Sam Club, the world's largest RV owners organization, has partnered with Consumer Cellular Inc. to make Consumer Cellular the Good Sam Club's official wireless service provider. The endorsement gives Good Sam's nearly 1 million members, who spend more time on America's highways than perhaps any other group, the chance to enjoy significant discounts on Consumer Cellular's broad range of national wireless plans.

Headquartered in Portland, Ore., Consumer Cellular, www.consumercellular.com, is one of the largest wireless resellers in the United States. The privately-held company offers a unique retail service that will appeal to Good Sam members. It eschews long-term contracts -- subscribers are free to cancel service at any time -- and offers an assortment of rate plans starting at an industry-low $10 per month. Service is ordered via phone or the Internet and handsets are shipped directly to customers.

"We believed from the start that Good Sam members would be a wonderful audience for our service," said John Marick, president of Consumer Cellular. "They're highly mobile, financially comfortable and recognize a good value. We're truly excited Good Sam selected Consumer Cellular as its official wireless provider and confident they made a wise decision."

The Good Sam Club, www.goodsamclub.com, was founded in 1966. It offers its members a wide variety of services, including the Continued Service Plan, Emergency Road Service, RV financing and insurance, as well as member discounts to parks, campgrounds and RV events. Good Sam Club members also receive a subscription to "Highways," the Club's popular RV travel magazine. Additionally, the Club represents more than 2,000 local RV chapters designed to bring RVers together from similar geographic regions for group camping excursions. Extremely committed to its RV members as well as to the environment, the Club is a founder of the annual National Cleanup Day program and an advocate of public land access, Adopt-A-Highway programs and Adopt-A-Park programs, to name a few. The Good Sam Club is headquartered in Ventura, Calif.

"Communication is a key issue for RV travelers," said Sue Bray, executive director of the Good Sam Club, "and cellular technology is the perfect solution. Not only are cell phones crucial to emergency situations on the road, but thanks to them, RVers can stay in contact with their families, businesses and friends, no matter where they may roam. We are delighted that this program should be saving our members some money, as well as providing them with excellent service."
