Republic Wireless Now Offering $19/Month Unlimited Smartphone Service to All
Yahoo! Contributor Network ^ | 11-20

Prepaid wireless carrier Republic Wireless has been offering its $19 per month, unlimited everything, prepaid smartphone plan since about this time last year. At the time, though, there were a few catches; you had to buy a very low-end smartphone from them, you had to use its Hybrid Calling technology for most of your calls, and you could only get in if you were lucky enough to be accepted to an exclusive "beta wave."

Since then, Republic Wireless has upgraded to the slightly more modern Motorola Defy XT as its flagship smartphone model, and has changed to allow unlimited calling, texting, and data over Sprint's nationwide network, for the same $19/month price. Now the North Carolina-based startup is dropping its last restriction; the doors are open for anyone to preorder up to four Defy XT phones, "and they'll begin shipping in mid-December."

My whole family uses Boost mobile without complaint. It starts as $60 a month for the smart phone service ($50 for my flip phone), then starts dropping by $5 a month - every three months - until you’re down to $40 a month. ($30 is the lowest I can get to with my flip phone.)

They use the Sprint towers, so the service is identical. Just with a lower price and no contracts.
