Attached is the phone number we were given for employees to setup their company phone to be able to receive the E.E.P.S. code for Foul Time.

Please have this set up so that you aren’t using your personal phones during Flagging or any other duty requiring Foul Time.

The FRA will again be cracking down on personal electronic devices.

Your company phone(or NEXTEL) needs to be setup before it is able to receive the Code, it is not automatic.
