Hollywood Gets Amp'd on Soapbox Mobile; Amp'd Mobile Selects Soapbox Mobile's Movie Ticketing Application

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2006--Never again be unprepared for a date, thanks to Amp'd Mobile and Soapbox Mobile. For the first time ever, Amp'd Mobile subscribers can search for movies, select a theatre and show time and purchase tickets all through their mobile phones. Amp'd Mobile, the youth-oriented Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) has selected Soapbox Mobile's Anywhere(TM) and MoneyClip(TM) applications to deliver this date-made-easy, premium subscription service to its customers.

In addition to providing Amp'd Mobile subscribers with the seamless ability to find movies and purchase tickets, Soapbox Mobile's Anywhere(TM) application provides Amp'd Mobile with a powerful platform for marketing movie related promotions while enhancing the mobile relationship with its customers. The MoneyClip(TM) application, a mobile commerce platform, enables Amp'd Mobile users to securely register their credit cards against their Amp'd Mobile number. Once registration is complete, subscribers can easily purchase tickets on-the-go with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and their Amp'd phone.

“We are excited to be working with Soapbox Mobile to deliver a complete end-to-end movie experience to our subscribers”

Using the Soapbox Anywhere(TM) mobile marketing platform, Amp'd Mobile can create SMS marketing campaigns directly targeted towards its opt-in ticket buying customers. Anywhere(TM) enables Amp'd Mobile to measure the effectiveness of these campaigns in real-time and allows them to react and alter campaigns according to user response.

"Soapbox Mobile is ecstatic to be the application provider for this very exciting next generation mobile technology," said Dan Flanegan, President and CEO of Soapbox Mobile. "Mobile ticketing has arrived and with it, Soapbox is pleased to provide a complimentary mobile marketing platform that will extend the value of the ticket purchase."

If the mobile ticket revolution in Europe and Asia is any indication of things to come, mobile ticketing for movies, transportation, concerts and more will soon be accessible to the US mobile market, to the same degree. The Soapbox Mobile Anywhere(TM) and MoneyClip(TM) applications are flexible enough to support all types of mobile ticketing development.

"We are excited to be working with Soapbox Mobile to deliver a complete end-to-end movie experience to our subscribers," said Seth Cummings SVP of Content at Amp'd Mobile. "Being able to fulfill a ticket purchase and market to subscribers based on that purchase meets the needs of both the consumers and entertainment partners."

In addition to this recent partnership with Amp'd Mobile, Soapbox Mobile has also recently partnered with House of Blues Entertainment, the Mavericks Surf Competition through Swoop Mobile and Billboard's MECCA conference in order to provide highly personalized mobile interactions, valuable consumer data, auxiliary revenue and cross-promotional opportunities.
