Motorola Moto E Republic Wireless for $99
Republic Wireless will begin selling the Android-powered Motorola Moto E for $99 without a contract. And as with the carrier's other phones, monthly service plans start at $5.The Moto E is a decidedly entry-level model, with a 4.3-inch screen, 4GB of storage , a 5-megapixel camera, and 3G data.
At $99, Republic's Moto E is actually priced $30 less than the same phone purchased directly from Motorola. That version is unlocked, though, and able to be used with any GSM carrier. With Republic's, you're stuck with Republic, which operates on Sprint's network.
Some of the time, anyway -- Republic's claim to fame is Wi-Fi, meaning calls, text messages, and data are, by default, routed over any available Wi-Fi network. Only when there isn't one does the phone switch over to Sprint's network.
In fact, the $5 monthly plan restricts you to Wi-Fi everything, meaning you can't really use the phone when you're out and about. At $10 per month, you get cellular phone service and texting, but data still requires Wi-Fi. The $25 plan affords unlimited everything.
