Amp’d Mobile Down for the Count

Amp’d Mobile may have seen its last days. They are notifying visitors to their website that they will be shutting down operations on July 24th, and subscribers need to port their number elsewhere. We reported in early June about Ampd’s bankruptcy, and it appears as if their run is over. Verizon Wireless, Ampd’s wholesale provider has pulled the plug on them, making their network inoperable. Like a previous failed MVNO, ESPN Mobile, we are likely to see Amp’d as a former shell of itself somewhere else, providing content for a more established wireless provider.
