Republic Wireless has launched a new service that offers customers an Android phone with unlimited voice, data and text for $19 a month plus tax. It’s also an attempt to make Wi-Fi calling easier and more user-friendly. The service uses Wi-Fi network when available. When you’re in range of a Wi-Fi network, your device will automatically make all calls and send text messages over the Wi-Fi connection. When you’re not near a Wi-Fi network, your phone will revert to Sprint’s 3G network for voice, text, and data (still unlimited).
Republic Wireless will offer the entry-level LG Optimus Android 2.3 smartphone. Customers will join the service by paying $199 to get the phone and then $19 a month after that with no contracts. There’s a 30-day window for someone to return the phone and get their money back. Visit Republic Wireless for more information.
