Amp'd Mobile handset prices take a hike

by Brian White, posted May 16th 2007 at 2:17PM

Picked up a new Amp'd Mobile handset recently? Notice anything about the price? If you've mulled an Amp'd purchase recently but just plunked down your cash for one in recent days, you may have seen that you paid a little more for it than you would have last month. That's because Amp'd recently hiked the price on all five of the handset models is currently offers for sale. Now, some of the Moto RAZR prices only increased $20, but the Moto Q went from $100 to $220 -- quite a lift. With Amp'd hovering near 200,000 subscribers, will these increases dent that projection a bit? Those price increases might do that if all those soon-to-be customers choose the Q -- but don't want to pay Amp'd $220 for it with the Q9 to come sometime soon (we hope).

Yeah this is why I didn't go with Amp'd 2 weeks ago when I was looking for a new carrier after being fed up with Slingular & their coverage & seriously bad billing issues. The Q price IS INSANE, the technology is OLD already AND the Push Email doesn't really work like it should. SHAME on you Amp'd !!!

They need to increase prices to slow grwoth and cut costs. At the current pace they will be bankrupt before they find a buyer for the company.
