Republic Wireless began beta service on November 8, 2011 with the LG Optimus S and later the Motorola Defy XT in July 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Republic Wireless Further Disrupts Wireless Market; Reopens Beta & Introduces New Motorola Android™-powered Smartphone )〕 On November 19, 2012, Republic Wireless ended its private beta and transitioned to an open, public beta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/19/republic-wireless-open-to-all/ )〕 On November 14, 2013, Republic officially came out of its Beta testing period and began offering the Moto X for $299 with four new service plans starting at $5 per month.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Republic Wireless® offers Moto X for $299 and four new plans starting at $5 per month, scaling up to $40 per month with a 4G data option. )〕 On March 13, 2014, Republic officially announced the release of their next phone the Moto G which will be priced at $149 for the 8GB and $179 for the 16GB version.

The model relies on a proprietary VoIP application for the Android operating system that has the ability to switch quickly between Sprint's CDMA mobile networks, free roaming, and WiFi - depending on which access network is available. Republic Wireless's current Terms of Service allow the company to reduce a user's speed for a billing period if he or she exceeds 5 GB of data while using cell twice during a six-month period. Effective September 10, 2014, a user also may not exceed more than 25 MB of roaming cellular data usage in any one-month billing cycle. Once he or she reaches the 25 MB threshold, he or she will have no additional roaming cellular data usage during the remainder of the billing cycle.〔https://republicwireless.com/legal/terms-and-conditions〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Republic Wireless」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
