Judge okays Amp'd sale, customers now free to join Prexar Mobile
We already had a decent hunch that Prexar Mobile would come into play here, but a Delaware judge has officially green lit the sale of Amp'd Mobile to United Systems Access, which will give "thousands of customers a chance to switch carriers in the wake of the startup venture's collapse." United Systems will reportedly offer service to Amp'd customers under its Prexar Mobile brand, and interestingly, Amp'd will be getting a "25-percent stake in Prexar." Additionally, it was noted that Amp'd Mobile will be paid according to "how many of its customers switch service to the small Maine-based wireless provider, what plans the customers choose, and how long they stay with the new carrier." And you thought you'd never hear from these guys again.[Via mocoNews]

so... four ridiculously out of date handsets... no mobile to mobile or unlimited nights and weekends... ridiculously expensive text messaging rates, and as far as I can tell... no data capabilities.
Sounds perfect!

Prexar Mobile hasn't bought Amp'd, just the right to solicit Amp'd customers. Most of the assets are still unsold.

Prexar won't live long, because the price structure is
too ridiculous
who'd buy $60 for 5000 (?) while T-Mobile has unlimited for 1/4 price
no wap option is another no-go
