Following is my Republic Wireless review after having used their service for 11 months. The opinions are unbiased and my own.

My journey with Republic Wireless began with a Moto X that I still use to this day. In the duration, I have saved hundreds in phone bills and converted many of my friends into proud Republic Wireless fans. The reason I chose Republic was to save money. Moto X had just popped in the market and was selling for hot $500+. Republic sold it for $299 – a $200 savings right there. It was an unbeatable deal. Moreover, there’s no contract with Republic Wireless; I could cancel anytime without being charged further. And for a measly $10/month I got unlimited cellular talk & text… Looking back, I know I made a great investment. After eleven months of using Republic Wireless on my Moto X, I have no complaints whatsoever.

A little background on Republic Wireless Review

Republic Wireless ReviewRepublic Wireless is a service provider dedicated to helping consumers save money on their smartphone service. Its hybrid technology capitalizes WiFi as primary network for calls, texts and data. The smartphone utilizes cellular networks of national CDMA carriers (Sprint and Verizon) when outside WiFi zone. When you are in your room or office, it is the internet that transmits calls/text/data. When the WiFi disconnects, the smartphone seamlessly switches back to the cellular network.

But how is Republic Wireless so affordable?

Larger cellular companies (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T) operate their own cellular networks. Their infrastructures require a ton of money – we’re talking billions. That is why even a starter smartphone plan (1GB data & unlimited talk/text) on these larger carriers usually cost $50/month or more. If you are using cellular data regularly on Verizon, call that $100/month.

Thankfully, Republic Wireless has different rules.

Unlike cellular data networks, WiFi delivers data faster and cheaper. Republic Wireless has a system through which calls/texts are primarily sent over WiFi. When there’s no WiFi, only then the system leans back on Sprint’s network. This makes it possible to have seamless user experience both in terms of quality and price.
