Replying to: AMP'd T-Mobile rumor...(no not a merger) by mahoodlum
Re: AMP'd T-Mobile rumor...(no not a merger)... Wouldn't work
That's a pretty silly rumor. 
Amp'd uses Verizon's network, they have none of their own. If they tried to buy out contracts from under Verizon, Verizon would pull the plug on Amp'd... sorry, no more network for you, you outta business. Bye-bye.
And no, Amp'd wouldn't just switch to usin' T-Mobile's network either. Amp'd is built around providin' cool advanced '3G' features like you find on VZW's EVDO network... and T-Mobile doesn't have a 3G network yet, won't for awhile. Not to mention that all existing Amp'd customers would have to purchase new phones to still have service.
You gotta stop believin' everything you hear.
