More About Republic Wireless

Here's a message from our sponsor:

Smartphones are an essential part of most people’s lives. What’s not so smart is how much they can cost. Republic Wireless is ALL about helping people easily save big bucks on their smartphone service.

Counting minutes, number of texts, monitoring data usage or worry about the fine print you didn’t have time to read – that’s so old school! With millions of teachers and students heading back to the classroom and parents looking for affordable tech, we make it easier than ever to save big and have an awesome smartphone. How? WiFi is all around us, so we created something we call ‘hybrid calling.’ That’s WiFi first with cellular as a backup - which creates a better way for people to make phone calls, send texts and surf the web.  We offer the Moto X and Moto G - two fantastic Android smartphones starting at $149.

Check out the plans that money saving gurus Mr. Money Mustache, J$ and others say are “simply the best deal around” and “the Vanguard of mobile phones.” Republic Wireless’ no-contract unlimited WiFi plans start at $5 per month and you can change plans up to two times per month so you never buy more cellular than you really need.  Republic Wireless is making sure you head back to school with a smarter smartphone.
