When I was volunteering at my church a few days ago, I heard one of the little kids say, 'I can't wait to grow up! Grown-ups get to do cool stuff!' While that statement is true, grown-ups also get to do a lot of un-fun stuff, like pay bills that just seem to get higher and higher every month! One of the bills we dread even looking at after the mail comes, is our cell phone bill. It's amazing how you think you're saving money with a good plan, only to have lots of hidden fees appear on your bill. From extra texting to added data usage, our bill just grows and grows, and often makes me want to cry!

When I heard that there was a much better option available for our family from Republic Wireless, I couldn't wait to look into it! Rebublic Wireless offers a $19.00/mo plan, which features unlimited data, talk and text on the $199.00 Motorola DEFY XT Smartphone.  I don't want to tell you how much my cell phone bill is every month, but I can tell you that we pay more for our cell phone bill in a month than we spend on two to three weeks worth of groceries for our family of three. Not only is our cell phone bill expensive, my husband is constantly asking, 'Have you checked your data usage for the month?' So annoying! I feel like I can't use my phone for what's it's intended!

Hats off to Republic Wireless, who came up with a way to save us money! Their service includes Hybrid Wi-Fi Calling, which uses the power of Wi-Fi for full service capabilities. Take a look...

How cool is that? The Motorola DEFY XT Smartphone has a lot of awesome features, including a front'facing VGA webcam, rear-facing camera with uto focus, flash and 4x zoom. This is an Android device with Sprint 3G coverage and dual band reception, plus- it's dust-proof, water and scratch resistant!

This would be a wonderful phone for parents and teens or kids who are just getting their first smartphones. It has all of the features you'll want for talking, sharing, and day to day business dealings, thousnads of apps available from the Gooogle Play store, and protective features that will keep the phone in good condition, even when in rough hands (hey- kids are hard on just about everything!).

If you're ready to save money and free yourself from a wireless plan that just ties you down, make the smart choice and check out Republic Wireless!
