Time to Upgrade Phase III Postage Meters

Phase III postage meter users have until December 31, 2006, to upgrade to an approved model. After December 31, 2006, Phase III meters - meters that use rotary technology to print postage and that do not automatically disable if reset within a certain time - will be decertified and will no longer be reset.

Tell customers using Phase III postage meters to contact their commercial postage meter vendor about approved meter replacement models. For more information, go to www.usps.com/postagesolutions/flash.htm.
