It would be really nice if Amazon offered a service like Republic.
$5/mo the phone works on wi-fi with voice, text, data
$10/mo the phone works on wi-fi and 3G cellular voice, text (no data on cellular)
$25/mo the phone works on wi-fi and 3G cellular voice, text, data
$40/mo the phone works on wi-fi, 3G, and 4G (LTE, whatever) with everything..
PLANS
Even at $5 a month, you get a phone number so with just internet service and one of these phones, you have a regular house phone, etc. (Just VOIP)
The beauty of the system is that if you decide that you want cellular or Data at anytime, you just select from the phone's dashboard, the plan you want. You can change your plan twice each month. |
Funny, I am in the same situation. I have had my eye on republic wireless for a while, but can't swing the $299 for a Moto X. Then they announced the Moto G to come in April so I thought this would be a solution for me. Their plans are the best I have seen anywhere.
I am in dire need of a phone, but don't want to pay a lot per month. I am on the pre paid ATT plan now. One of the old ones where I can put on $100 a year and calls are 10 cents a minute and it takes the money out of that $100. Problem is that I am using a very very old iphone3 for it and its not really made for that plan. That plan only works on dumb phones.
Now the battery is really bad on it and I never have any option on going to data every with it. Plus I can't update the software or it won't work on that pre paid plan anymore. I don't even have itunes. I don't want an iphone, I want something android based.
I think I need to add another 3 month prepaid to my phone and wait to see if Amazon comes out with anything.
I could not get it though if its 3D. My eyes can't do 3D, they don't work like that. It would do nothing but make me dizzy.
I have been waiting for a amazon phone now for a long time.
Not sure though how anyone can beat the republic plans though. But I would love a Fire phone.
