Amp’d scores online sales deal with InPhonic

WASHINGTON—Online retailer InPhonic Inc. announced a deal to sell phones and services from mobile virtual network operator Amp’d Mobile Inc.

InPhonic will sell Amp’d Mobile’s wares through its Internet storefront www.wirefly.com, which also carries offerings from the four Tier 1 operators. Terms of the “multi-year” agreement were not disclosed.

Amp’d Mobile is the first youth-focused, postpaid MVNO to distribute phones though the site, which rates operators’ price plans, coverage areas and customer service. Wirefly.com also carries handsets from prepaid services provider and former InPhonic sister company Liberty Wireless.

“Amp’d marries two key desires of wireless users today—keeping them in touch with work, friends and family with great nationwide coverage, and connected to the entertainment they can enjoy every day,” said Andy Zeinfeld, InPhonic’s president of e-commerce.
