Amp'd Mobile pulled after five months

TORONTO – Telus Corp. has reportedly shut down its Amp’d Mobile service after just five months in Canada because the U.S. parent filed for bankruptcy. According to the Globe and Mail, Amp’d Mobile Canada subscribers can still make and receive calls for the moment, but Telus has stopped selling the products and services, which it did under the hip, youthful brand of entertainment services like 3D games. As reported by Cartt, Amp’d Mobile launched its downtown Toronto retail store to great fanfare in March.
