Amazon could be gearing up to offer "Prime Wireless." The low-cost cellphone plan could help Amazon boost its Prime subscribers, Bloomberg reports. Amazon is reportedly talking to T-Mobile, Verizon, and Dish about the idea. Amazon may soon be dangling yet another perk in front of prospective Prime members: the chance to save big on your monthly cellphone bill.
The company is in talks with wireless carriers about potentially offering a Prime Wireless plan that could range from $0 to $10 per month for Amazon Prime members, Bloomberg reported on Friday. T-Mobile, Verizon, and Dish have all been involved in the talks, according to the report, though the idea could take months to launch and could still fail to pan out.
"We are always exploring adding even more benefits for Prime members, but don't have plans to add wireless at this time," an Amazon spokesperson, Bradley Mattinger, told Insider in a statement.
"Amazon is a great partner to T-Mobile in many areas, and we are always interested in working more closely with our crosstown neighbors in new ways," a T-Mobile spokesperson told Insider. "However, we are not in discussions about inclusion of our wireless in Prime service, and Amazon has told us they have no plans to add wireless service."

Cellphones with Amazon will be another Prime perk...
One request: Could Amazon set up ‘stores’ on site - so if we want the credibility of Walgreens or CVS we can shop their ‘store’ on Amazon and NOT have to worry we’re buying second hand stolen goods? Yes, street gangs resell their loot to ‘sellers’...
Also clothing chosen by ‘buyers’ of upscale established retail stores would be nice... LIST THEIR STORES - GIVE THEM A CUT FOR CARRYING THEIR MERCHANDISE... even a take over of THE LOST”Tuesday Morning’ WOULD WORK FOR MILLIONS OF SHOPPERS.... and dump some of the ‘highest profits for crap’ sellers .
AI search wold help...
