Amp’d has signed a deal with with Verizon that will see the MVNO continue to use the carrier’s network, in exchange for Amp’d dropping its lawsuit to prevent Verizon kicking it off the network. This gives Amp’d the ability to continue to offer services as it works through its financial woes. “The settlement should help Amp’d Mobile obtain financing to fund its business during its Chapter 11 case. According to court papers filed on Wednesday, the Verizon litigation has “hindered (Amp’d Mobile) to procure debtor in possession financing” reports AP via Forbes.

I git charged fo’ going on da net (which should be free fo’ 90 days) an’ fo’ everything dat should be free. They charge me .10cents per minute when I gots 1000 anytime minutes. However I gots ta page at least once uh week or mo’ ta gots muh ma fuckin account reactivated cuz dey say I gots nahh money on da account! On Wednesday I had ta spend muh ma fuckin own money ta use muh ma fuckin phone cuz they geekbox wuz down an’ wuz told ta use muh ma fuckin own money an’ ta page back on thursday an’ ax fo’ uh credit then, So on Thursday I page back an’ be on hold fo’ four hours!

    Hey don the hybrid plan is a pre-paid account just becuase they call it something different doesn’t mean its not pre-paid. It was there attempt at doing something better for people with out credit. So the wouldn’t have to keep adding air time and buying pre-paid cards. And with anything new it takes time to work out the kinks and problems. Maybe you should improve your credit and get a post paid account. If you want anyone to take you serious you might think twice about using that ebonics thing again its dumb!
