As you may have heard from your Fairy Godmother, Disney Mobile is now kaput. The service is essentially dead and your phone, complete with Minnie, Mickey, or Wee Heinrich, a misguided pre-war character that didn’t win Disney many friends in the international community.

What does this mean for the poor folks who bought the phones? Well, they’ll reimburse you and/or you’ll still be billed until December 31, 2007, at which time Peter Pan will come and snatch your phone — and innocence — away. You can also transfer your Disney number to another non-Disney phone and hopefully this whole branded MVNO idea has died it’s rightful death.
