News agency Bloomberg reports that Amazon plans to offer its Prime members free or heavily discounted mobile phone plans in the US.
According to Bloomberg’s sources, Amazon is in discussions with several US carriers to provide Prime members with plans that would be free or cost around $10 per month. There is currently no information available on the specifics of such a plan, including mobile device models, speeds, data limits, and other details.
If Amazon manages to secure such a deal with a carrier, it would likely be highly enticing for many Prime members to cancel their current subscriptions and opt for the cheaper alternative from Amazon.
