Republic Wireless Revises Terms of Service, Eliminates Cellular Access Limits

Republic Wireless

Upstart VOIP-based virtual operator Republic Wireless has managed to make its $19 monthly hybrid cellular and Wi-Fi based wireless service one of the most compelling offers in the industry and is set to truly change perceptions with its latest move to make the cellular half of its service truly unlimited.

Previously at the launch of the service, Republic Wireless had set cellular access limitations of 150 text messages and 300 cellular minutes per week dependent on an arcane usage threshold. Now, service is being treated as truly unlimited during the beta period, until Republic Wireless can become profitable or until the venture proves to be unsustainable.

Currently, the service is not taking on anymore new users until the beginning of the year but will begin accepting new customers at that time.
