USA Mobility Declares Quarterly and Special Cash Distributions

Meetings with Investors Scheduled for May 16 in New York

Alexandria, VA (May 2, 2007) — USA Mobility, Inc. (Nasdaq: USMO), a leading provider of wireless messaging and communications services, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.65 per share of common stock. In addition, the Board declared a special cash distribution of $1.00 per share of common stock. Both cash distributions will be paid on June 7, 2007 to stockholders of record on May 17, 2007. The Company expects the entire amount of both cash distributions, a total of approximately $45.1 million, to be paid as a return of capital.

The Company initiated quarterly cash distributions of $0.65 per share in the fourth quarter of 2006. Previously, it had paid special cash distributions of $1.50 per share on December 21, 2005 and $3.00 per share on July 21, 2006.

“The payment of a special cash distribution of $1.00 per share, in addition to our regular quarterly distribution of $0.65 per share, reflects our continued confidence to generate substantial cash flow as well as our commitment to operate the Company profitably and return cash to stockholders,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “Based on our current and projected cash position, we believe this action to accelerate cash distributions was appropriate at this time. As we have stated previously,” Kelly added, “management and the Board will regularly evaluate our options for returning capital to stockholders based on the Company’s operating performance, outlook and future capital investment requirements.”
