In addition, this Guide provides Law Enforcement with an overview of Nextel’s current administrative practices and policies required to support these requests.

Any contacts made with, or information received from Nextel personnel other than those identified in this Guide for the subject matter identified, for the purposes indicated in this Guide, is neither authorized nor endorsed by Nextel.

Required Documentation for Subpoenas

Basic subscriber information will be provided to the LEA upon receipt of the proper legal
process or authorization. Nextel toll records include airtime and local dialing information on the
subscriber’s invoice in addition to any long distance charges. Nextel subscriber’s invoice will
provide the subscriber’s dialed digits. Incoming phone numbers will be marked INCOMING
and the incoming callers phone number will not be displayed.

The Fraudbuster database is a tool utilized by Nextel for fraud detection. The Fraudbuster
database maintains 30 days of call detail records of incoming and outgoing calls. The
information is not considered a transitional record and Nextel does not guarantee the accuracy of
the report.

Nextel will provide a Fraudbuster report to the LEA only if the agency agrees to pay an
additional fee of $50.00 per number, per request. The LEA must specify in the subpoena
“request to capture the incoming and outgoing call detail records thru the Fraudbuster Database”.
Nextel will not honor any request for incoming and outgoing call detail request without
specifying Fraudbuster in the body of the subpoena. Nextel will not be able to process any
request received outside of the data retention period of 30 days.

Nextel recycles phone numbers once a subscriber deactivates service. It is critical that all
Subpoenas contain the Subscriber’s PTN (the Nextel phone number assigned to the handset,
including area code) and the relevant time frame of the requested information. This will insure
that Nextel provides the correct subscriber information the agency is seeking.
Required Documentation for Court Orders

The Nextel Law Enforcement Administrator will review all court orders to verify that the court
order contains the necessary information required to comply with the desired surveillance
request. It is imperative that all court orders contain accurate and valid information to facilitate
the implementation of the court order.

All court orders submitted to Nextel must contain the following customer information:

♦ Subscriber’s name and billing address if known
♦ Subscriber’s PTN (the Nextel phone number assigned to the handset, including area code)
Also requested but not required:
♦ Subscriber’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identifier) and IMSI (International
Mobile Subscriber Identifier).

If the customer information contained in the court order does not match the customer
information found in the Nextel billing systems, Nextel will notify the LEA that the court order
must be modified.
