January 2014 Month in Review: Money
Big spending month for us! We had several large expenses come out of our targeted savings accounts and almost no money go in. Kyle finally convinced me to upgrade to the Moto X on my Republic Wireless service. We upgraded my plan to the unlimited talk/text/date with 3G for $25/month so the ongoing monthly costs will be a couple dollars higher than they have been before.

I don’t even know if the people who signed up with my link did so through … Read entire article »

Last August I told you that I signed up to get a smartphone through Republic Wireless, a new company with a different business model for providing cell services. I received my new phone in December and I thought it was high time to write a review!

My New Frugal/Cheap Cell Phone Plan
I’ve hinted on here a few times that I have a plan for getting a smartphone while reducing my cell phone costs but hadn’t implemented it yet – it finally looks like my new plan will be starting soon! Several months ago I got in line for a spot in Republic Wireless‘s beta wave, which just reopened a week ago.
