Endaga – is own your own cell
service. Charge others to use it. Install it in seconds, and you have your own cell
service. Great solution for rural areas that don’t have good towers to power your phone. And you can sell the service (from your device) to neighbors as well. If
anyone tries this, let me know how it works.
Republic Wireless, a rather new
company I discovered (met the former President) recently is an interesting alternative to conventional mobile phone contracts. Located in Raleigh NC
but nationwide. Consumer Reports just
rated them #1 or # 2 in the no contract category for high quality voice and low
prices (nearly free). A drawback, like
Endaga, is the fact that you have to have Wi Fi signal to get the free part, but Republic does
auto switch to Sprint network if you walk out of the house. This switching benefits in several ways. Many folks have poor cell signal in their
home anyway, Republic gives them crystal clear voice, text, and internet no
matter the signal from the "not-so-nearby-tower”. To use it, however, you have to have a
special phone that can do voice over internet, and switch back and forth. They sell those. Mostly Motorola X .. a very good smart phone
I have read in reviews.
https://republicwireless.com/ Pay once, and get much less monthly cost, no
contract required. But there are monthly fees for it since it has to switch to
Sprint when you leave a Wi Fi zone. But at
work, and at home, most people have Wi Fi, it will connect and make that your
phone as well as your data link. Starbucks, wherever, you could get no-charge
phone calls. That is, it doesn’t drain
your minutes allowed of air-time.
This could be especially useful if your present mobile phone has low or no signal at work due to building construction, metal roofs and such. This would give you voice communication at work (provided the company has wi fi, which most do these days).
