Preparation of Interim Financial Statements	'
	Preparation of Interim Financial Statements — Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of income within the operating expense categories of cost of revenue; service, rental and maintenance; selling and marketing; and general and administrative are recorded exclusive of severance and restructuring costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion. These items are shown separately on the condensed consolidated statements of income within operating expenses. Foreign currency translation adjustments were deemed immaterial and consequently, no statements of comprehensive income are presented.
	The financial information included herein, other than the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. In management’s opinion, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements include all adjustments and accruals that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein.
	These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in USA Mobility’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated statements of income for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Due to the integration of the management structure and consolidation of certain sales support functions effective January 1, 2014, certain prior year's interim revenue and operating expenses were reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. In 2014, we will report revenue by two categories, wireless and software, and have reclassified the revenue previously reported in the first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q to conform with the current year's presentation. In the first quarter of 2013, wireless revenue of $38.779 million was reported as $37.407 million in service, rental and maintenance, net of service credits and $1.372 million of software revenue and other, net. Also, in the first quarter of 2013, software revenue of $14.351 million was reported in software revenue and other, net. We reclassified payroll and related expenses amongst functional departments and eliminated general and administrative overhead expenses previously allocated to cost of revenue, service, rental and maintenance and selling and marketing. The reclassifications resulted in the following increases and (decreases) to the first quarter 2013 Form 10-Q reported operating expenses: Cost of revenue of $1.484 million; service, rental and maintenance of ($0.841) million; selling and marketing of $0.178 million and general and administrative of ($0.821) million. The changes had no impact on previously reported total operating expenses and operating income.
	The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets — Goodwill at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $133.0 million. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment at least annually, or when events or circumstances suggest a potential impairment has occurred. We have selected the fourth quarter to perform this annual impairment test. We will evaluate goodwill for impairment between annual tests if indicators of impairment exist. GAAP requires the comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount to determine if there is potential impairment. For this determination, the Company as a whole is considered the reporting unit effective January 1, 2014. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying amount, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. The amount, by which the implied fair value is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using an income based methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. We also consider the market value of our invested capital as a confirmatory measurement of fair value. There were no indicators of impairment for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Amortizable intangible assets at March 31, 2014 include customer related intangibles, technology based intangibles, contract based intangibles and marketing intangibles and resulted from our acquisition of Amcom in 2011 and IMCO Technologies Corporation (“IMCO”) in 2012. Such intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from two to fifteen years.
	The gross carrying amount of amortizable intangible assets was $41.5 million at March 31, 2014 and the accumulated amortization was $17.4 million. The net consolidated balance of amortizable intangible assets consisted of the following:
				March 31, 2014
			Useful Life	Gross Carrying		Accumulated			Net Balance
			(In Years)	Amount		Amortization

The issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) awarded under the 2011 Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) is expected to be made during the first quarter of 2015. Therefore, the related dividends payable (the line item Dividends payable - 2011 LTIP) was reclassified from other long-term liabilities to accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2014 based on the expected payment in the first quarter of 2015.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Asset Retirement Obligations	'
	Asset Retirement Obligations — We recognize liabilities and corresponding assets for future obligations associated with the retirement of assets. We have paging equipment assets, principally transmitters, which are located on leased locations. The underlying leases generally require the removal of equipment at the end of the lease term; therefore, a future obligation exists.
	At January 1, 2014, we had recognized cumulative asset retirement costs of $3.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded an increase of $0.1 million in asset retirement costs for a total of $3.9 million at March 31, 2014. The asset retirement cost additions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased paging equipment assets and are being depreciated over the related estimated lives of 57 months. The asset retirement costs and the corresponding liabilities that have been recorded to date generally relate to either current plans to consolidate networks or to the removal of assets at an estimated future terminal date.
	The components of the changes in the asset retirement obligation liabilities were:
		Short-Term			Long-Term			Total
		Portion			Portion
		(Dollars in thousands)
	Balance at January 1, 2014	$	358		$	7,599		$	7,957

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]	'
Deferred Revenue	'
	Deferred Revenue — Deferred revenue at March 31, 2014 was $23.5 million for the current portion and $0.8 million for the non-current portion. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2013 was $23.0 million for the current portion and $0.9 million for the non-current portion. Deferred revenue at March 31, 2014 primarily consisted of unearned maintenance, software license and professional services revenue. Unearned maintenance revenue represented a contractual liability to provide maintenance support over a defined period of time for which payment has generally been received. Unearned software license and professional services revenue represented a contractual liability to provide professional services more substantive than post contract support for which not all payments have been received. We will recognize revenue when the service or software is provided or otherwise meets our revenue recognition criteria.

LongTerm_Debt

Long-Term Debt	3 Months Ended

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Long-Term Debt	'
	Long-Term Debt — On November 8, 2011, we executed the First Amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). The Amended Credit Agreement increased the amount of the revolving credit facility to $40.0 million. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is September 3, 2015. We may make a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) election for any amount of our debt for a period of 1, 2 or 3 months at a time; however, we may not have more than 5 individual LIBOR loans in effect at any given time. We may only exercise the LIBOR rate election for an amount of at least $1.0 million.
	Borrowings under this facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of our existing assets, interests in assets and proceeds owned or acquired by us.
	As of March 31, 2014, we had no outstanding debt and the Amended Credit Agreement remains in effect with approximately $40.0 million of available borrowing capacity subject to maintaining a minimum liquidity threshold of $25.0 million and to reductions for outstanding letters of credit. The $25.0 million liquidity threshold can be satisfied by maintaining cash on hand or borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement.
	We are exposed to changes in interest rates should we have borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. The floating interest rate debt exposes us to interest rate risk, with the primary interest rate exposure resulting from changes in LIBOR. The definitive extent of the interest rate risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and business financing requirements. We do not customarily use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk profile.
	We are subject to certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. These financial covenants consist of a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all of the required financial covenants as of March 31, 2014.
	We have also established control agreements with the financial institutions that maintain our cash and investment accounts. These agreements permit Wells Fargo to exercise control over our cash and investment accounts should we default under provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement. We are not in default under the Amended Credit Agreement and do not anticipate that Wells Fargo would need to exercise its rights under these control agreements during the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Therefore, the related dividends payable (the line item Dividends payable - 2011 LTIP) was reclassified to accounts payable and accrued liabilities from other long-term liabilities in 2014 based on the expected payment in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the lease incentive liability during the first quarter of 2014 relates to a new office lease located in New York.

	The increase in stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2013 was due to an increase in outstanding RSUs to 617,027 RSUs compared to 504,600 RSUs at March 31, 2013.
	Cash Dividends to Stockholders. The following table details our cash dividend payments made in 2014. Cash dividends paid as disclosed in the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included previously declared cash dividends on shares of vested restricted stock issued to our non-executive directors. Cash dividends on the RSUs and restricted stock have been accrued and are paid when the applicable vesting conditions are met. Accrued cash dividends on forfeited restricted stock and RSUs are also forfeited.

	Future Cash Dividends to Stockholders. On April 30, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock, with a record date of May 22, 2014, and a payment date of June 25, 2014. This cash dividend of approximately $2.7 million will be paid from available cash on hand.
	Additional Paid-in Capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, additional paid-in capital increased by $1.1 million to $128.4 million at March 31, 2014 from $127.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due primarily to amortization of stock based compensation.
	Net Income per Common Share. Basic net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares including outstanding restricted stock and RSUs, which are treated as contingently issuable shares, using the “treasury stock” method.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes — We file a consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and income tax returns in state, local and foreign jurisdictions (Canada and Australia) as required.
	At March 31, 2014, we had total deferred income tax assets of $145.6 million and a valuation allowance of $119.3 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of deferred income tax assets of $26.3 million. This reflected a change from the December 31, 2013 balance of deferred income tax assets of $148.2 million and a valuation allowance of $119.3 million resulting in an estimated recoverable amount of $28.9 million. The change reflects the expected usage of the deferred income tax assets based on estimated 2014 taxable income.
	We consider both positive and negative evidence when evaluating the recoverability of our deferred income tax assets. The assessment is required to determine whether based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than a 50% probability) whether all or some portion of the deferred income tax assets will be realized in the future. During the fourth quarter of each year, we prepare a multi-year forecast of taxable income for our operations. The forecasts of taxable income are not sufficient to result in the full realization of our deferred income tax assets due to the continuing decline in our revenue and taxable income as customers switch to other communication solutions and delay purchasing and implementation decisions.
	The anticipated effective income tax rate is expected to continue to differ from the Federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, the effect of changes to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, permanent differences between book and taxable income and certain discrete items.
	As of January 1, 2014, we had approximately $343.8 million of Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) available to offset future taxable income. The IRC Section 382 limited NOLs as of January 1, 2014 totaled $50.4 million which may be used at a rate of $6.1 million per year. The 2013 NOL utilized is expected to be approximately $44.7 million and this amount will be confirmed when we file our 2013 Federal Income Tax Return.

	Commitments and Contingencies — We are involved, from time to time, in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. We believe these pending lawsuits will not have a material adverse impact on our financial results or statement of income. There have been no material changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to the commitments and contingencies previously reported in the 2013 Annual Report except as noted below.
	In March 2014, we entered into an exclusive agreement with a vendor to purchase a minimum number of paging devices over a three-year period. We have a purchase commitment of $8.3 million over this three year contractual term.
	In April 2014, we entered into an agreement with a vendor for certain information technology services over a three-year contract term. The total contractual obligation is $1.1 million.
	In April 2014, we amended an existing agreement with a vendor for our headquarters office space in Springfield, Virginia. We extended the original lease term for an additional 3 years with the new lease term expiring on March 31, 2018. In addition, we retained an adjacent office space for a lease period of 4 years also expiring on March 31, 2018. The additional rent expense, net of rent abatement, associated with the amendment is estimated to be approximately $1.2 million over the amended lease terms.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting — On March 3, 2011, USA Mobility acquired Amcom. From that date the Company determined that pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 - Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) that the Company had two reportable segments, a wireless segment and a software segment that were also the Company’s operating segments. Generally through December 31, 2013, the Company maintained two separate operations with distinct operating structures. Starting in 2013, the Company undertook an internal reorganization and reorientation. That reorganization was designed to unify the Company's wireless and software product offerings under one brand identity and to establish one company dedicated to operational excellence, customer focus and creative problem solving. Our approach was to maximize favorable operational attributes and eliminate redundancies to affect: one integrated sales force selling software and wireless solutions; one set of overhead; one customer message and experience; one platform for future acquisitions; and to grow our revenue on a profitable basis to create long-term stockholder value. A key element of this strategy included consolidation of our legal entities and management. Effective January 1, 2014 the legal entity, Amcom Software, Inc., was merged into USA Mobility Wireless, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of USA Mobility, Inc. Our sole operating subsidiary is now USA Mobility Wireless. In addition, management was reorganized to consolidate the separate management structures for the wireless and software segments into one integrated management structure. Effective January 1, 2014, the Company is structured as one operating (and reportable) segment, a unified communications business. The Chief Executive Officer (who is also the chief operating decision maker as defined by ASC 280) views the business as one operation and assesses performance and allocates resources on the basis of our consolidated operations.
