It's easy to be a Wi-Fi person.
Research shows that most people are around Wi-Fi networks 60% of the time, and growing. If that's you, then all you have to do is set up your phone one time to access the Wi-Fi you have at home, work and wherever else you spend time. Our technology takes care of the rest.
You can become one.
The best way to know how you're doing is by checking out your Cellular Usage Index (CUI). If it's too high, we'll let you know and give you tips to bring it down. Regardless of what you use (on Wi-Fi or on cellular) you pay a flat fee of $19/month no matter what.
Choose Wi-Fi.
Wherever Wi-Fi is, you have a choice. Add hotspots when you discover them and build your own network. Wireless service shouldn't be about committing to stay inside the lines. It's your phone. It's your service. Change the way it works.
More details.
Wait. Really? There must be a catch. What is it?
Other than you, there's no catch. The Hybrid Calling™ technology embedded within republic's LG Optimus phone automatically routes calls over ubiquitious and cheap Wi-Fi rather than expensive cellular networks. That's why membership is only $19 per month. You no longer pay big cellular bills. Neither do we. Cool, right?
Do I need Wi-Fi at home to join?
Yes. Our service is designed for users with access to Wi-Fi. Everyone can become a Wi-Fi person. And that's a good thing, because nobody likes a cell-hog.
What is the Cellular Usage Index (CUI)?
It's our geeky way to quantify your cellular footprint. We employ an index to normalize things in a world where texts use up a lot less cellular capacity than minutes. Your CUI is calculated using your last seven days of activity.
