Recognized as the winner of PC Magazine’s Annual Reader’s Choice Award,

value and control of the smartphone experience to members by leveraging
the power of both WiFi and cellular networks. Our Hybrid Calling uses
WiFi in the home, office or anywhere else as the primary network for
calls, texts and data. When outside of WiFi coverage, the smartphone
works just like a typical smartphone on the cellular networks of
national CDMA carriers. Visit http://www.republicwireless.com/
