With T-mobile and Sprint already pushing hard on the wi-fi alternative, and with Google Fi entering the fray, the top two dogs will have to eventually pay attention as they lose customers every quarter.
Savvy smartphone users are already using the built-in wifi antenna and options built into their phones to cut down on mobile data when on the move; and you DON'T need a wifi phone service or subscription to get that sweet, free wifi data connection or place wifi calls. Just use Google Hangouts or another freely downloadable wifi dialer app and 'boom', you're good to go.
Yeah, I was wondering when the RW fanboys were going to show up and serve up some green Kool-Aid. Give it a rest boys!
For those wondering, Republic Wireless is this small-fries operation trying to sell people on the idea of a wifi-first phone, and failing miserably at it.
With Google Hangouts, you can place FREE wifi calls all day long. Or, just download a few free wifi dialer apps and connect for free that way. Plus, Google Fi is going to set the standard on how the wifi thing is to be done. RW has been trying for almost four years and just can't get it right. Yeah, just read the past 30 days of complaints they have on their forums and you'll be running for the hills. RW is very much a frankenstein, pieced-together service that is not ready for prime time. Wayyyy too many problems.
