Sept. 12, 2006--In yet another industry first, Amp'd Mobile, the pioneer of fully integrated mobile entertainment, today announced that it is the first North American mobile operator to offer 3G broadband-enabled phones through a 'hybrid' pricing plan that blends the low monthly calling rates of a post-paid plan with the freedom of a pay-as-you-go plan.

The new Amp'd Mobile Hybrid Plans allow customers the opportunity to experience mobile broadband entertainment on a month-to-month payment plan by routing their billing through a debit or credit card. For example, customers wanting to sign up for the company's 1,000 minute / $50 a month post-paid plan can now do so without committing to the usual 18-month contract by simply choosing the Hybrid option at sign-up, either by providing a credit or debit card number for billing purposes.
