Disney Mobile to Cease Operations

Another MVNO bites the dust! Fist Mobile ESPN, then Amp'd Mobile, now its the Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG) announcing that they will cease operations of its U.S.-based mobile virtual network (MVNO) phone service later this year and will instead explore a new business model for its content and services that might include offering its popular Family Center product through a partnership with a major U.S. carrier.
The Family Center suite allows users the ability to display the location of a child’s handset on a map, to limit when and how the child’s phone is used, and to set limits on expenditures in terms of voice and data.

WDIG, a worldwide leader in the mobile content business, is exploring opportunities with major U.S. carriers with regard to a new business model for the Family Center features. Current Disney MVNO customers will continue to receive service and support until Dec. 31, 2007.

Customers who have questions should see www.DisneyMobile.com or call Guest Services at 1-866-DISNEY2 for more information.

Disney will offer a reimbursement program for eligible customers. Additional details surrounding the reimbursement program will be available on the aforementioned Web site no later than Oct. 8, 2007.
