I pay $78 a month for two Verizon phones with 700min voice. (no data or smartphone) I could stand to save $40 a month. But I have to cancel with probably $200 cancellation, plus $100 - $200 to buy the Republic wireless phone. So it would take me about a year to recoup. Or I wait almost two years to wait for the contract to expire (just signed the contract because AT&T had lousy coverage at my house, no landline)
I have this phone as a spare, it's not amazing but for a phone it's perfectly fine and decent battery usage, signal quality etc.
Interesting, but what happens if all the wifi networks in the area are password secured?
Can it hop on any cell network in the are, or will there be blackout zones?
