I just signed up for this. $19 a month for unlimited calls/texts/data. The phone is not top of the line, but the price is a fraction of the major providers and still beats Boost and Cricket too.
The way this works is that they rely on wifi rather than cellular connections for the majority of usage. For anyone in an urban area, this makes tons of sense. But it seems like anyone can sign on regardless, and they use the Sprint cell network.
I have a hunch that this company is being backed by Google because they'd like to erode the major telecom companies in a subtle way. I'm fine with this, as Google provides tons of amazing things for free.
There's a newer better phone in November. But if you want a cheaper, functional phone soon, sign through here to get $19 off. http://referrals.republicwireless.com/a/clk/1LlVgd
