Smartphone!

Back in the day, I fought having a cell phone for awhile.  Then I fought adding texting to my cell phone.  Then I got off our ridiculously expensive cell phone plans and just went with a tracfone.  It suited my purpose just fine.  So, I fought having a smartphone.  But my husband had been watching this new company, Republic Wireless for sometime.  They offered these amazingly simple, cheap plans.  After about a year of watching and reading reviews, we decided to try it out. 

We bought our daughter one for her 15th birthday, just to try it out.  We couldn't switch our phone number over (although many across the US can!), so I was digging in my heels on that.  Since Addie didn't have a phone or number yet, I thought I would try out one on her and see if I just thought I had to have one even if it meant a new number after 15+ years.  Well, I was hooked after test driving hers for two weeks before her birthday!  And, the rest is history.   And there are some old contacts that didn't need my new number anyhow!

I found a beautiful, bright pink case on Amazon.com.  It had great reviews and the price was right. 




My Moto G...can you see my wallpaper?  :)

Republic Wireless has two phones right now to choose from.  A Moto X and Moto G.  Moto G is the cheaper option and works fine for what I need.  I never had a camera with me, so the 5MP on this one is a huge upgrade for me since I get to take photos and videos now wherever I am.  That was honestly one of the main reasons I wanted a smartphone. 

Seriously, if you are tired of wasting money on your cell phone, check out Republic Wireless.  I am so glad I did! 

And now I have a palm tree with me wherever I go!
