Amp'd Mobile was a mobile phone service launched in the United States in late 2005. The company was a
Mobile Virtual Network Operator and operated on the
Verizon Wireless CDMA EV-DO network. Its primary non-Venture Capital investors were MTV Networks and Universal Music Group. The service targeted at 18-35 year olds, and was the first integrated mobile entertainment company for youth, young professionals and early adopters, and was, like
Helio, a 3G carrier in the US specifically targeting that demographic. Amp'd Mobile offered voice services as well as 3G data services such as wireless broadband based on Verizon Wireless's EV-DO network,
text and picture messaging,
Push to Talk, and over-the-air downloadable applications and content (including Video on Demand) from its Amp'd Live service.
