Amp'd buys itself a few extra days

Beleaguered US MVNO Amp’d Mobile has bought itself a few more days grace on Verizon Wireless’ network.

It has delayed closure until July 31, according to a posting on the website Tuesday morning, giving its prepay users a few more days to burn through their existing credit.

Previously, the company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month, said it may be suspending operations on July 24. Customer service is no longer available as per the original statement.
