Amp'd Mobile Launches In The US

Amp'd, the new mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) targeted at the youth market, has officially launched. Amp'd uses Verizon's EV-DO network and is available in most metro cities across the US.

The MVNO has launched with just the one handset for now, the Kyocera Jet, with the Motorola E815 (which it calls the 'Hollywood') on the way in early 2006. Amp'd has also announced that it will receive funding and content from MTV and MTV's parent company, Viacom.

Plans are available from Amp'd for as little as $29.99USD, up to $199.99USD for unlimited voice/data/push-to-talk. All plans (with the exception of the unlimited plan) include PTT for $0.99USD per day and a three month free trial of the companies data services.
