Verizon Threatens To Shut Off Amp'd

Someone else out there has to find this EXTREMELY hilarious. 80,000 non-paying customers?

This would happen right after I get the phone. I'd better ditch Amp'd before it ditches me, huh?

I pray to God every night before I head off to bed that Amp'd Mobile is violently torn apart and dissolved like a school of sharks on a wounded fish amongst their creditors seeing how they owe $100 million in debt to which the greatest chunk, $33 million, is owed to Verizon Wireless on which Amp'd Mobile relies upon for their 1x-EV-DO voice and data services.

Oh, by the way, just cuz I'm not very pleased with Ampd doesnt mean I dont feel bad for all the people I set up in their phones.

...was this supposed to be a surprise?

Amp'd is aimed at that "punk" demographic...they honestly expected these "customers" to pay their bills?

Those of us that use Amp'd in any way shouldn't worry, unless the end has been written in stone.
