Amp’s Mobile Will Make You Strange

TAXI has done a nice job positioning Amp’d Mobile as the alternative mobile phone service of choice and these three new spots either reinforce that or simply reveal Amp’d mobile users are cracked. There’s the caught singing in the bathroom spot, the dumb, overzealous Dad spot and the orchestra member gone rocker spot. They each either reinforce Amp’d as a provider of really great content or they just prove adults are just grown up kids in disguise.

In case the goofiness of the spots don’t set Amp’d apart from others, the Pound the Pinata site, on which a Mexican trio plays Hip Hop, Metal, Reggae or Mariachi while you whack the pinata phone certainly will. Sure, it’s all fun but do you know anyone that has an Amp’s phone? And where does Amp’d actually have any service?
