Review: How Republic Wireless will save you money.

By:  Jason Bowen





With money being as tight as it can be these days, being wise about how you spend your money is becoming essential.  There are many things you can do such as limiting eating out, draw up a monthly budget and even weather proof your house.  The smallest things can really add up over the course of weeks.  However, as a people living in the 21st century with your salary and wages pretty much stagnant and most everything increasing in price, one area you can save yourself lots of money is your cellular provider.  And the company that has brought that change into my life is cell phone company Republic Wireless.





Republic Wireless is a cutting edge industry changing company out of Raleigh, North Carolina.  A subsidiary of the company Bandwidth, Republic Wireless has become one of the more innovative players in the cell phone industry by offering a cell/wi-fi calling hybrid solution to their phones.  The technology that RW perfected offers the ability for people to seamlessly go between wifi and cellular networks without interrupting the call you're on.  And unlike other cellular service providers like At&t who use cell towers as their main network,  Republic has built their service on the concept that your wifi network at home, work and out on the town would serve as the primary delivery method for your calling and data.  Only when no wifi network is available does your phone choose to take advantage of the cellular towers.  By using wifi as your primary network, Republic is capable of offering cell service at extremely low rates compared to the largest competitors in the industry.


RW offers four non contract plans that you can choose from.  The cheapest plan at $5 offers only cell phone calling on wifi networks.  Perhaps the most bang for the buck would be the $10 plan that's offered.  With the $10 plan you get unlimited talk/text on cellular with wifi data.  In theory, if you're always around wifi as you would be in a larger city, this plan is great.  The most popular plan they offer is the $25 plan which includes unlimited wi-fi data and unlimited cell calling that also includes 5 gigabytes of 3g data per month.  Trust me when I tell you you'll never come close to reaching that total.  But even if you do, they give you two overage months a year without penalty or extra cost.  If you're in need of just more speed than what 3G can provide, RW also offers at 4G plan with the same terms at $40.00 a month.  I know I can testify to the fact that I'm extremely pleased with the 3G plan at the lower rate.  They're even so awesome as to allow you to change your plan up to two times a month without any type of penalty or fee.  This can come in extremely handy, especially if you're an international traveler or if you're suspected of having Ebola and you're quarantined at home for the better part of a month.  You might as well switch to the $5 plan and just use your wifi.

Whenever I get the opportunity to advocate for Republic Wireless I do so.  The only vested interest I have in the company is that I'm a very happy, satisfied customer.  I'm currently using Republics' Moto X.  It was actually given to me by a great group of friends who were tired of me not having a smart phone.  The Moto X is currently going for $300, the Moto G runs you $149 and the Moto E comes in at a very cheap $99.  I've never used the G or the E but the reviews I've consumed tell me that they're great budget phones.  So if you're not the person that needs a smart phone the size of a tablet or Apple isn't your cup of tea, I promise you the Moto X will serve your needs and go gentle on your bank account.  At $25.00 a month unlimited, it's beyond the best product you'll get from a cellular company.  I tend to look at their green bar logo as being symbolic of the flexibility they provide their customers.  Republic Wireless bends to you, not the other way around.  So, if you're currently off contract or soon to be off contract with your current provider, I very strongly recommend Republic as your next cellular provider.
