To
help simplify customers' lives, the Cox Wireless experience will debut
with popular Cox features already integrated into many of the mobile
devices, such as the ability to program the home DVR and see TV listings
from their mobile device.

Cox customers with an Android smartphone can download the Cox Remote Guide Access app from the
Android Market to also program their home DVR and see TV listings from
their mobile device. This app marks the beginning of many Cox apps that
will soon be available to provide greater convenience and mobility for
Cox features and services.

Universal Contact Manager enables users to securely manage, backup and
organize all Cox High Speed Internet and Cox Wireless contacts in one
place; and Voice Mail to Text, which converts voice mail messages to text
and delivers them to the Cox Wireless device as a text message, giving
customers the freedom to read messages and respond without ever dialing.
