Andiamo Corp. (ANDI)

Wouldn't be surprised to see a deal with Ting to offer the Uphone to their subscriber base...especially since they are also based in Canada and don't subsidize phone purchases.

Ting's cellular business model does not subsidize phone sales or require contracts beyond month-to-month. Pricing is in separate tiers for voice minutes, text messages, and data, each of which is adjusted month-to-month to match actual usage. There are no "regulatory recapture" fees added to bills, in contrast to the practice of some of the large mobile companies. Ting also relies on referrals to gain customers, along with making less money from each customer in order to create loyal relationships with their consumers.[4] For Ting smartphones with hotspot capabilities, no tethering charges are imposed to share the connection with laptops or other Wi-Fi capable devices, since users pay for their service based on their actual usage of data.

Ting supports devices that run on Sprint (CDMA), AT&T (GSM), T-Mobile (GSM) and Verizon's (CDMA) cellular networks depending on the frequencies of the device. Devices can be purchased through Ting's website (some devices listed redirect to Apple or Motorola) or other sellers. The customer then enters the device's electronic serial number on Ting's website to activate the device. Ting provides a device checker to advise what level of compatibility the device will have on their CDMA and GSM networks.

The company first announced support for devices that functioned on Sprint or its MVNOs (with the exception of Boost Mobile or Virgin Mobile) in August 2012.[5] A public beta was then launched on December 6, offering official support for seven Sprint-branded smartphones; the announcement also included links to a substantial list of other compatible devices and a new discussion area for users attempting to activate them.[6]

On December 9th, 2014, Ting announced GSM services going live in February 2015 using "a major US network provider", being the T-Mobile network. Ting customers can have phones on either network within the same account.[7] The GSM service allows the majority of US cellphones to be brought to Ting. On February 24, 2015, Ting offered public beta access to their GSM network[8] with the official product launched a few months later. As of March 2017, the service has approximately 250,000 subscribers.[9]
