Sorry, Amp'd Mobile coverage isn't available in your area yet, but it may be soon. For changes in coverage availability, check back here often.

lol.. do you know anything about Cell Phone Companies?

If VZW has coverage in an area due to roaming agreements they CANNOT issue a cell phone number from that area. So if you can get a # w VZW but not an # w/ AMP it's just they (AMP) aren't licensed for that area. If you want to see vzw's network it's on every brochure in their store and on their website.

i work for a company with a roaming agreement with them. MVNO's generally do not provide service in roaming agreement areas so Amp'd mobile's coverage map, is verizons real, liscensed market area, just like i stated, nothing to do with numbers, but with what they actually own. you cannot get a number with verizon if you cannot get a number with amp'd or do you not know anything about cell phone companies?

lol, well they have more licensed marketS than what their coverage map has.. just cuz there's no coverage doesn't mean they don't own spectrum that's unused, and I'm well aware how cell phone companies work.

It's close. But, it appears that area is just outside Verizon's built out network.

Click the following link, to see the actual VZW network. Be sure to click the VERIZON WIRELESS NETWORK radio button.

FYI, Barry, carriers often offer services (issue phone #s) in areas which they have not themselves built out.

Who cares about other licensed spectrum? Anything other than 850/1900 wouldn't do any good for Amp'd anyways. So what if they have the 700 mhz for VZW's live TV service (coming soon). Doesn't do a lick of good unless the spectrum is PCS, or 850.

That's every verizon employee

"We are purchasing that area real soon, you can get a phone and change your number once you get back, just call in and they can change it for you so you can have a local number"

This might sound like a stupid question but.. When a company liked Verizion allowes other companys to use there services "Towers, Bandwidth, Computer servers" Those types of things.. Does that degrade service of a REAL Verizion wireless customer ??

2nd Question.. CDMA seems to be umm not so big in coverage since 89% of the global cellular coverage is GSM.. Is this going to be a way of life for CDMA carriers to maintain a pulse in the market buy selling itself to allow companies like AMPD to use there equipment ?

1) Most wireless carriers, be they Verizon, T-Mobile, Cingular, whatever, have roaming agreements with other carriers that allow users of other wireless carriers to use their network in certain places. This is good for all carriers, since it expands the coverage area that each carrier can offer its customers. Its kind of a 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' sort of thing between carriers.

It only degrades the service of the actual customers of the carrier's network if the network is oversubscribed, either by having too many regular customers, too many roamers from other carriers, or both. But I would think most carriers try to avoid this, as pissed-off customers equal EX-customers.

2) Global cellular coverage doesn't really matter...
