UF: FYI See reference below to Sprint PCS. I just was reading this while reviewing my Ameritrade account data. GO Q! New Trading Site Welcome to Ameritrade's new trading site. We're always looking for ways to give you the tools you need to make smart investment decisions. That's why we created a whole new design to make trading and investing easier than ever. But don't just take our word for it - tour the site for yourself. Highlights of the new site include: Wireless Trading Ameritrade is the first brokerage to enable you to have anytime, anywhere access to our Web site via cellular telephone. You can access your account, place trades, get account summaries and order status, and receive stock alerts using Sprint PCS© Phones and the Sprint PCS Wireless Web (SM). Equity Market orders placed via the Sprint PCS Wireless Web are just $8, the same low price we offer for Internet equity market orders. Customers who want this capability will need to sign up for Sprint PCS Wireless Web and use a phone that can efficiently do the text input. Most Sprint PCS Phones launched in 1999 feature microbrowser and mobile connectivity capabilities out of the box. Additionally, many older Sprint PCS Phones can be connectivity-enabled with a simple software upgrade and the purchase of a Sprint PCS Wireless Web Connection Kit (includes a cable and Sprint PCS Dialer software). And, later this year, Sprint PCS will offer new Smartphones (such as QUALCOMM's new Internet-capable pdQ). In simple terms, the Sprint PCS Wireless Web won't require expensive and elaborate computer accessories or network alterations. Sprint PCS customers may add Sprint PCS Wireless Web services to their current price plans for a flat rate of $9.99 per month plus additional per-minute usage charges. Additionally, Sprint PCS will offer a range of Sprint PCS Wireless Web Plans that include both voice and data minutes in a single bundle, enabling customers to mix and match their voice and data minutes as needed. For more information about Sprint PCS Phones, visit the Sprint PCS website (sprintpcs.com), contact your nearest Sprint PCS Center, or call 1-888-253-1315. Report and Alert Service Ameritrade's Report and Alert Service delivers personalized market reports via e-mail, alphanumeric pager, e-mail enabled mobile phone or fax. You can link the reports to your Ameritrade portfolio or create a "watch" portfolio of prospective investments. Plus, you can sign up for all of the following reports, or just the ones you're interested in. Best of all, our Report and Alert Service is FREE. Weekly Analysis & Portfolio Summary - summary charts, performance comparisons, price and volume graphics - a weekly comparison of your portfolio to other market sectors and indexes. Portfolio Update - summary of portfolio activity, top movers and market performance. Consensus Estimate - alerts you when there is a change in the consensus earnings estimate for any stock in your portfolio. Earnings Surprise - notifies you when any stock in your portfolio reports changes in earnings estimates. Change in Analyst Ratings - hear what the experts are saying about stocks in your portfolio. Ameritrade's Report & Alert Service keeps track of the latest recommendations and notifies you when those recommendations change. As soon as the Report and Alert Service is available, you will be able to sign up for it on the Premium Research page. Watch for our announcement - coming soon. Extended Hours Trading You will have access to extended hours trading sessions via several providers. For this independent trading session, you may place only day limit orders to buy or sell NMS securities (National Market Securities - the most actively traded Nasdaq securities); market, stop and contingency orders will not be accepted. All orders must be placed over the phone with a broker at a $23 commission - the same as a broker-assisted limit order. Ameritrade will post extended hours trading session rules on the website when the service becomes available. Please review these rules before placing an order for the extended hours session. International Trading Ameritrade already has an agreement with Germany's Deutsche Bank which allows their customers access to U.S. markets. By early next year, we plan to give you access to European markets. Stay tuned to our website for all the new development in international trading. 24/7 Customer Service We are now ready to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding holidays. This includes our Customer Service and New Accounts departments, so your needs can be addressed around the clock. Simply call 1-800-669-3900. Home ?
