What up what up frugal gangsters! My new favorite wireless carrier just released their latest (cheap-as-hell) smart phone, and because they think budgets are sexy too they’re shipping me two to give away to y’all today :) Along with 3 months of free service!
(How’s that for frugal?)
I know I’ve been mentioning Republic Wireless a lot over the months, but that really is only because I feel like I’ve stumbled across a gem here and I want to make sure y’all know about them too. If you’re happy with your own carrier and/or are annoyed with these updates, here are two other giveaways I’m running on my other sites you may find more suitable ;)
Or, better yet, try and win one of these for a friend or loved one! So *they* can try and convince you to move over after they rave about it, haha… j/k. (kind of)
Here’s a reminder of why I’m obsessed w/ Republic Wireless
- No contracts
- Cheap as balls rate plans ($5-$40/mo max)
- Decent choices of smartphones
- You can save $100+ if you’re coming from the iPhone like we were.
The only downsides are you’d have to break our contract you’re currently with to switch (possibly costing you money) and you have to buy the phone outright from Republic Wireless. Which makes their latest phone we’re giving away today even better as it’s only $99!
(Fyi, I have noticed a few dropped calls here and there and a little wonky connection at times (it runs mainly over wifi and the Sprint network) but we’re two months in so far and I don’t plan on switching back. It’s not for everyone, but I’m done giving away an extra $100+ to other carriers for nothing.)
Here are some facts on the new Moto E
- It’s only $99
- It’s a smartphone.
- Has 3G
- 4GB Internal Memory
- Up to 32GB of expandable memory with micro SD card
- Android™ KitKat® 4.4.4
- 5MP Fixed Focus Camera
- 4.3″ Edge-to-Edge HD Display
I’m not a techie so can’t add much more than that (and I haven’t personally tested this one out), but here’s a 2 min video on it that shares more if you’re interested. To me most smartphones do the same stuff: call, email, apps, etc ;) Here’s their website with more info too: Moto E
Like it? Want to own it?

I’d like to give the smartphone to my nanny to appreciate everything she has done to my kids. She really deserves this for her hard work and dedication to job. This simple thing is much appreciated. :D
I don’t need one, but just wanted to chime in. We had at before switching go RW and we had dropped calls on their service too! The times I do have the most issues is when I have poor cell service, but again, this is true for any provider.
I switched to republic and it works great for me. Little issues here and there but i had issues with AT&T. I think we just notice it more with republic because we are still evaluating it.
I’d probably keep the phone just in case i break the one i currently have :)
I’d like to enter the giveaway! I’d keep the phone for myself. I’ve never had a smartphone, but I’ve read a lot about republic wireless. I’ve been considering trying them out next year. I’m not sure how great the sprint network is near me, but it would be an improvement from what I have now. No cell phone! Mine was stolen in July and I still haven’t replaced it. Just kind of enjoying not having the monthly bill and waiting until I move into a better living situation before I pick up another contract.
Because its a family forum, I will only say that Sprint can bite it. Republic wireless looks to be a good deal and it definitely fits the budget. I use Walmart’s Straight Talk. Same thing; you have to buy the phone, some cheap some expensive and then its $45 a month, no contract, 3g data per month etc. In our area it uses Verizon towers which has not let us down.
That’s my 2 bits.
Republic roams on Verizon for free!
Walmart straight talk doesn’t offer the WiFi functionality that RW does. You’d have to do a lot of VoIP setup to even get close to the same level, but you can’t mimic the seemless call handovers from WiFi to 3g.
I’ld love to give the phone to my son; he’s just starting out in the world, and wants to get on his own service and off of mine– what better way to start him budgeting right with this phone? Right?
I know you said it’s been pretty good with the exception of a few glitches here and there. I’m curious how service is around the country since I tour and travel so much for work. I want to say I’m giving it to myself, but I don’t know if I’m ready to take the leap, haha.
I’ve had Republic for a year and have traveled quite a bit and it works great wherever there is sprint service (or where sprint is bad enough that it switches over to verizon). I even used it out of country in resorts where it could connect to free wifi and everything worked just like I was sitting at home. Best part – since it works on wifi, it WORKS in my home, unlike every cell provider I’ve ever had.
I would give the phone to my husband because his service is really spotty in our house, and we have super strong Wi-Fi, so the issue might get resolved by voip. Also, he will keep the same phone until 2025 unless I force him to change, so what better way than winning a phone :)
I’d give my phone to my mommy. My dad, my brothers, sister-in-law’s all have iphones and cool gadgets but my mommy doesn’t have anything. She just wants a phone to call HER mommy. I want the phone because my family’s phone bill in total is about $400. It’s a big burden to my dad and I want my own so I can cancel the iphone contract and save my dad a few bucks. Republic Wireless honestly sounded like heaven because of their cheap rates — this current phone bill is a pain!
I would give my phone to my mom or my sister….they are still with verizon, the evil company that steals all their money for nothing! They don’t even have smart phones and they are still paying a mint for it, argh!
Well isn’t this nifty keen! Both Mr. WW and I have cell phones provided through work (score!) and all of our family members seem to be happy with theirs. Honestly, if I were picked I think I’d use it for a giveaway on my blog. I’m very new yet and I need more people to find me because I think I could share a lot with them (maybe even a phone, te he!)
You’re just full of good news today! I’d take the phone for myself or give it to my mom, she’s still rockin the old school flip phone!
I would give the phone to myself. I currently have a Sprint phone and would much rather pay anything less than $270 for 3 lines :-(
I would keep it for myself. Am currently looking for a new phone and have decided to go with Republic Wireless. I was waiting to see if they would have a deal with the holidays coming up so that I could get one for less money. Now if I could win one, that would be a real deal.
I would give this phone to my 71 yr old father who still has a flip phone. We went to a family event and my younger cousins gave him a hard time about his phone. It was hilarious but I know he was a little embarrassed too. ha!
I signed up with Republic Wireless a few months ago (thanks to your blog post), and love the phone and system. So I would like to win another phone and service for my husband who is very envious of my set up.
I would like the phone for myself. I am in need of a new phone and am curious to try Republic Wireless and save some money!
I’d keep it for myself. I’ve been wanting to make the jump from Verizon to RW for awhile.. I’m just not ready for the expense of buying the phone!
My phone is on its last legs and I’m finally up with my contract in a few months! I would take this myself.
I would keep the phone for myself and say adios to AT&T once and for all.
Nice! We’re long-time fans of Republic, and even though both are cells are from them, we’ve been wanting to get one for our home phone! Thanks!
Very nice sir. I’d be keeping that bad boy for myself, and the nice savings to boot!
I would definitely keep it for myself.
I switched to Republic Wireless for 2 months after reading about it on this blog. The service was so poor that I am switching back to my old carrier – another prepaid company, Boost Mobile. I will have a smart phone and service that works for $35/month, phone for $100.
I would give the phone to my 11 year old son his upcoming birthday.
Signed up for your newsletter! I would give the phone to my daughter. She is next up for contract expiration with Verizon, so it is the right time to evaluate making the switch … for her first, and then the entire family. Thank you for the possible opportunity!
Since my current phone screen is cracked, I would keep the phone for myself!
I would def keep the phone for myself which would be perfect since I’ll be switching over to RW next month! Thanks for the giveaways! =)
I would keep it for my damn self! haha. And I would toss my old Moto Defy XT and upgrade! Woot!
My boyfriend is still using a 12 year old cell phone and paying a ridiculous amount of money for his plan. If he switched to Republic (like I did a month ago), he could actually use the data he is paying for and pay significantly less.
I’ve been shopping around for a smartphone, I don’t have one yet. This would be perfect for me.
Great blog! I would give it to my lovely wife, so we can ditch Verizon.
I would give the phone to my son. He just started driving and could use the navigation help of a smartphone.
I have been on the fence about Republic Wireless. I would love to choppy $160 cellphone bill down. I have 3 lines right now because my kids are teens. I have recommended it to family members who have difficulty affording their phones because the plan is more affordable and the upfront payment for the phone is a one time investment. Hope I win! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
I would keep the phone for myself. Since reading about your switch I’ve wanted to try something different. We are paying over $180 for two people so it’d be great to save a bunch each month.
I will give the phone to my wife. She doesn’t have a smartphone and will be thrilled to have something with a camera. We were waiting for her contract to run out, but this would be great! I’ve been curious about Republic Wireless for a while now.
P.S. I just found this blog recently and am enjoying what I’ve read. Keep it up!
Been with Republic for over a year now …. awesome company and the one time I emailed for help I got a nice reply within a hour. Can’t beat their plans. Republic is just a brand – the vast majority of the no contract players run on Sprint network – virgin, Straight Talk, Boost, Ting …all Sprint because Sprint makes a load of money leasing network capacity. A few run on T-Mobile. Personally I love WiFi …9 times out of 10 better connection than cellular.
I do not have a cell phone so I would keep it for myself! I also get your emails!
Dude, I need to win this phone! Your original post about Republic Wireless has started my hubby and I on a cellphone research journey, and we have concluded that this is the company for us. How awesome would it be to start out our new relationship with this company with a free phone and 3 months of service! Pick me…pick me..pick me!!! :-)
I’d give the phone to myself. We are on a super tight budget. I’ve heard about this company and would love to find out if we get service in our area. we’ve been stuck with verizon because they have the best coverage.
I would use it for myself. I have been wanting to try Republic but stuck in a contract with Sprint. I hate spending $90/month…
I’d use the phone as my business phone just for the unlimited talk. I just went to Republic’s site and it’s dirt cheap!!!
Come on baby… daddy’s feelin’ lucky!
I’ve already signed up. I’d keep one of the phones and test it out before convincing my hubby to take the other one, lol.
I have been looking into Republic Wireless for about 3 weeks now. I have been on the line about taking the plunge for a while now. So I would use the phone myself! What better way to try out a new company than by getting a free phone. :)
I would give the phone to my mom. She would love a smartphone, but it just isn’t in her budget right now. This would make a great birthday present!
I would give the phone to my oldest son (who is now 7 years old). He is mature for his age and his mother and I worry about him being able to reach us. That phone would be a great gift for him and a sign to him that it is time to take on more responsibility.
I’ve been with RW since January, but my fiancé hasn’t switched yet, and we were planning on buying the Moto E for him anyway! He’s paying $40/month for a “dumb phone” so it makes sense to get more out of the phone for a little less a month. RW has been okay for the most part – a few hiccups, but better than paying $92/month with Verizon.
Myself!!! I just ended my verizon contract and can’t wait to move on!!!
I would keep the phone and switch over to Republic Wireless from AT&T. I too am trying to cut cost to my monthly expenses.
I would give it to my boyfriend who still pays way too much for cell phone service! He keeps saying he is going to try one of the cheaper options but hasn’t pulled the trigger yet. I switched to Tracfone and it works great for me. I use about $20 worth of talk/text/data a month and had to pay $100 upfront for the smartphone. It has already paid for itself and now I don’t have a monthly cell phone bill….pay as you go baby!
So I normally never enter these give away posts since many times they are for things that I don’t really need or want (I have a pretty solid mattress at the moment). But I would actually use this phone for myself. I’m personally pretty proud that I’ve never had a smart phone ever, and people always comment on my phone whenever I happen to pull it out in public, like it’s some relic of the cold war. I always brag about it’s cool features that their smart phones don’t have like a “full slide out keyboard with buttons that don’t always register”
I think that switching phones might be a good experiment, or possibly a very bad one since I might not be able to go back to a regular one after. But perhaps it’s time to move to the 21st century. I was about 5 years late to the “we all have cell phones” party, so perhaps it’s about time I finally showed up to the “I have a smart phone” party.
I would give it to my son for his 16th birthday coming up. I don’t have much use for cell phones (I have a REALLY old flip-phone from TracFone that I use for emergencies, etc.)
My son is a good kid and although he has a better phone than I do, it’s still an old TracFone, and he’d like something a bit cooler. Cell phones are not a priority in my budget, and even though the RW service is affordable, the phone itself isn’t.
So if I won it, I’d give it to him. If I don’t win, he can start saving up to buy one on his own! :)
I would give the phones to myself and my hubby, since we’re relocating to our RETIREMENT HOME , are sick of paying nearly $200 for cell service, and have to change anyway to something more affordable on our new, fixed income budget!
I’d love to win these phones for my family as we’re considering a serious switch from Verizon and the iPhone’s to something a bit more frugal! I’ll take them J. Money!
I would give my phone to the commenter that you felt had the most compelling comment and need for this phone. We just resigned with Verizon at about the same price as switching, so we are good for a while. I would want to help someone else out, because that’s what all the cool kids do. :-)
I’d love to have a new phone and service with Republic Wireless. Always looking for excellence in phones and service without contracting.
I’ve been using Republic since the Moto X came out and love it! I would give the Moto E to my mom, she could use the upgrade from the ol’ flip and it would save her money every month!
republic wireless sounds like a forward thinking company. I’d use it for myself plus three months free is a great value.
I would be giving the phone to my mother-in-law. We just switched and want to get her to switch over too but since she is having a hard time financially she is too hesitant to put up the money to switch over.
I’d keep it for myself because I’ve been wanting to switch to Republic since your post a few months ago, but am still paying off my Note 3 with T Mobile. I could justify eating the balance of that phone if I had a new, free one for Republic!
I would love to win a phone for my son. He really wants a smart phone. As a middle schooler, his dumb phone is so uncool.
I have been following Republic Wireless for a while and have only hesitated because of the cost of the phone. Love their concept! Pick me, pick me…..
I’d give the phone to my dad so he has a phone to take with him to work. I worry about him having car trouble and would like to know that he can contact me in an emergency.
I would give it to me! I currently have a flip phone. Dean
My phone, which I used on Zact until the carrier was bought out by Virgin Mobile Custom, just died. I would absolutely keep this for myself and change my service!
I want to give it to my mom, who is new to smartphone. She doesn’t need all the data and super fancy phone. This phone is more than good enough for her. She can save money on the monthly plan too.
I’d give it to my “friend”…but first I need to know how it good it is at recording messages? Does it store them for a long time and is the playback really clear that it could be used against me at another time? Asking for a friend…
I’d give it to my husband. He works from home so always has a strong WiFi signal.
I would give it to myself! I need a new phone so this is perfect timing.
I’m not gonna lie, I’d keep the phone for myself because….
1. I want to rid myself of verizon and explore other options
2. I’m cheap and won’t try this unless I win this phone because I don’t want to pay fees for opting out of my contract early
3. There is no reason 3, I just really want to try RW service in my area.
I have been trying to crunch numbers to move over to RW for my current plan. This would pencil out and I would replace my wife and my iPhones for this deal.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Daave
I would give the phone to my mother-in-law, so she can add this to her catch up on retirement!
Sir Money,
Well, my wife and I would be the happy recipients of the phones if all goes well (for me anyway). And if not, thanks for the opportunity and for your efforts…I really enjoy reading your orates.
KC
I would give one to my mom to help her out and give one to my teenage son so I can know where he is!
I would give it to my fiance’ so she can save some money on her phone bill! Verizon is charging way to much for poor service these days!
Entered! I already have republic wireless, awesome company! I’d give them to my mom and dad.
I’d keep it for myself!
I would take one for myself because I have been a republic wireless customer for over a year and love them, also my parents so they can finally see that my carrier is the best!!!!! And then they could stop paying ridiculous amounts for there plans.
1. Added myself, just waiting to receive the confirmation email. :)
2. Probably to my mother or father, as they have had the Transform Ultra forever are are looking to upgrade soon.
Thanks for the opportunity Jay!
I love my RW Moto-X, my older sons have an X and a G. I’d love to give my youngest son a E for his first phone!
I would give the phone to my son who is leaving for the Navy in 2 weeks. His current phone a Motorola Defy is dying and I would lobe to give him a new one so he can call me after he leaves.
I would give one to my hubby to break his iPhone addiction and save us $100+/month. Come to the light, hubby. Come to the light!
I would give the phone to myself because I am the only one in the family who has not gotten one. My husband 2 kids and even my Mom all got theirs through republic wireless and love them. If I get one I am going to cancel my cable and phone through Time Warner :)
I’d give it to my friend Dawn. She needs a new phone. I already have a MotoX from Republic Wireless. She is a church musician and pianist on a tight budget.
I’d give it to my mom, since she has been paying outrageous bills with T-mobile. Here’s hoping I win!
I’d love the phone for myself. I want to switch away from AT&T when my contract ends next month anyway.
I’d give one to my daughter who is just getting to the age where a phone would be appropriate.
I would love to win this phone – for myself. I don’t have a smart phone and have almost a year before my contract is up…this would help me switch sooner!
Hello! What a great idea for a giveaway. I’m a Republic Wireless lover and owner of the MotoX.
I wouldn’t hesitate to give the phone to my neighbor, an elderly woman who takes care of her 10 year old grandson and disabled brother. She doesn’t have a cell phone and I know it would make a positive impact in her life.
I’d give the phone to my little sister because she took care of me when I had my transplant and she is still using the same rinky dink phone with a shattered screen from 2010. She deserves to have something nice because she never asks for anything.
I would give it to myself. I have long admired Republic Wireless but have never jumped in.
I’d give the phone to my son, who is currently using a 2 year old feature phone.
My teen daughter. Times are tight and even though I want her to have one and can afford the monthly account I just have to worry about the initial cost.
I switched over to RW last summer and never looked back. I’d love to give this to my daughter.
i would give this phone to my mom. She is widowed and on SS and the great price for monthly service will help make her budget work.
Always wanted to try out Republic Wireless’ service, so I’d probably give it to myself as a second line. Then if it worked well, port my main line over eventually or give it to my daughter (who is *almost* old enough for her own phone)
I’d like to get one for my mom. She’s still using flip phone. I want her to have this cool and easy to phone for her.
I just bought my own yesterday, so I’d have to give it to my husband.
I’d give the phones to my wife’s parents as they are paying a ridiculous amount for flip phones on Sprint right now and they don’t want a data plan. This phone and republic would be perfect for them.
I love Republic Wireless and have been with them for a year now. My husband has switched over too. $20 for two cell phones a month is great!! I hear my co-workers complain about their HUGE wireless bills and always tell them about Republic Wireless. I would love to win one so I could make my mom a grandma with a smart phone.
I would give this phone to myself. I have been trying to find away to switch to republic wireless for months and could never pull the trigger due to the ETF on my VZW account. This would sure lessen the blow to my wallet to switch.
I’d keep the phones for my hubby and I to sign up with the service. He lost his job not long ago, our plan is up and we need to cut $$
I would upgrade from the Defiant. Republic Wireless is awesome!
I would love to win one of the Republic Wireless phones for my 79 year old mom. She always gives to all of us but never spends money on herself. She still uses her prepaid flip phone and has never owned a smartphone. My family just switched to Republic Wireless and love it! Thank you!
Would love one of these for my 13 yo son who wants soooo bad to have a smart phone, but I’m just not willing to pay the extra monthly fee for him!
I would give the Moto E to my Mother, because she is the best momma I ever had (and the only one too). She has helped me and my brother and sister in jams, and has not stopped giving up on us no matter what happens to us.
I would give it to my parents. They are using “GoPhones” right now and can’t talk to our kids as much as they would like. This would be perfect for them.
Momma need a new phone! :)
This sounds like a really great giveaway! To be honest, I would like keep the phone for myself and perhaps use it as a backup. But, I will probably give it to my mother as a gift since her phone is very outdated and she tells me frequently how much she’d like a new one. Even if I don’t win it, thank you for the opportunity to win this great phone!
I’ve been with Republic for over a year now and am delighted with their service. I’d give the phone to my best friend, as she’s had the same dumbphone for about 6 years now (with an $80 bill!) and it’s time to upgrade!
I’d give it to my son. He’s been begging me for a smart phone because he’s getting teased at school for having a cheap prepaid phone. I already have republic wireless and I love them but haven’t been able to afford one for my son.
I’d give one to each of my daughters. I am already with republic wireless and I LOVE THEM!
My oldest daughter is 11 and all she wants for Christmas is a phone.
Read my RW review and use the link for a $20 rebate code! Woot woot!
http://wp.me/p4BKOS-5k
I’d give it to my husband. We already have Republic, but his Defy XT isn’t doing well, but our budget has to go to keeping warm, fed, etc.
I’d give it my fiance since she is always losing her phone and stuck with hand-me-downs.
So excited to sign up for your blog. I love to save money! Saving money is kinda my thing! And Republic Wireless is an awesome money saver for our family. If I were to win one of these phones I have tons of people I would like to give it to, including to myself since these phones are so awesome why not have two!!?? But in all reality I have a very good friend that just got married. They are on a tight budget, as many are when they are first married and they are also in college full time. This phone would be perfect for them!
I have had RW’s MotoG for a little over a month and I love it. My husband will be switching to their service soon, so I would give the MotoE to him, should I win.
I have a Moto G myself through Republic Wireless, and I gotta say everything about their service is spectacular. With two shiny Moto E’s, I could finally get my parents off of their abysmal current carrier. They could use some new technology in their lives.
My wife and I love republic wireless. I would keep the new phone though, my wife already has a new one and mine is 4 years old and has dog tooth marks on it.
I would love this phone for my daughter! I can’t see throwing money away on expensive phone bills, with a contract… This is perfect!
I love Republic, so I’d give it to me of course!
Either my husband because he is (whats another word for REALLY frugal), or my cousin Gwen who is struggling just a smidgen financially. This would certainly add a few more meals to the table. I have Republic Service with a Moto X and cannot say how much I love the price and flexibility of the plans. I have had very good luck with coverage and service. Yay Republic.
Got my daughter a Moto G from Republic Wireless two weeks ago. Got her the $10 plan. Grounded her from the phone for sneaking it to bed, and took the phone with me to work to check it out. Nice little phone, very capable unit.
Now that my wife’s iPhone is starting to poop out (we both own an anceint iPhone 4) she’s next on the list for an upgrade.
I’d love a free one, but Republic Wireless is so affordable, it doesn’t even break my heart if I have to buy it.
Before RW: Two iPhone4 , AT&T dataplan, ~100 month
After RW (our eventual goal): Three moto G/E, 2x$25 plans, 1x$10 plan = 65 month
One more phone for 25 dollars less per month. What’s not to love about that?
I would give this phone to my daughter. I had ordered a moto x last Christmas for her but when I lost my job and the company phone I had, well I kept the phone for myself. Republic Wireless, great phone, great service, and easy.
My husband so he has a phone when his contract with Verizon is up this winter!
I’d love to give one of these to my mom! She’s still using a Nokia from the 90s, and this would be a great starter phone!
Of course, after the 3 months runs out, I can just pay for a year of service for her. Love republic!
I would give the phone to myself. My current phone is old and prepaid is getting expensive. I would like to upgrade to Android while watching my $. I cannot afford a high monthly amount, but I would like to experience the latest in what cell phones have to offer.
I just got RW and I love it. No dropped calls so far. I guess I’d give it to my son who does not have a cell.
I would give one to my mom, because she spends too much money on just talk/texting and Republic Wireless would give her much more for less money. I also think she could be coached into being able to use a smartphone, it would be good for her to get up to speed with technology :)
I’d give the phone to my parents as they have dealt with Verizon’s high bills for too long.
I’d give the phone to my mom, as I was already going to buy her one for her birthday. But it would be awesome to win her one instead!
I would give the phone to my parents who live in Mexico so I could stay in contact with them while in colleg .
I would give it to my mother who has never had a smartphone!!! She still on the flip phone :)
I would give it to my mom!!!! Go Republic!!
I think I would keep it!
Myself i would love to get a better phone seeing my family all have smartphones and i am still using an older one and they been giving me the business to catch up to them and the times.
I’d choose myself for this because I pay for my family’s phone plan with at&t and a plan with Republic Wireless would literally save me hundreds a month.
I’d keep it for myself and, depending upon how well the service works, buy another one for my daughter later. I had an iPhone with Sprint service but just couldn’t afford the bill anymore so I switched to a pay-as-you-go plan with a cheap slider phone straight out of 2005. Well now that we’ve moved halfway across the country, the service on my cheapo phone sucks. So I’ve been shopping around for something new. I miss having a smartphone and my daughter is reaching that age where she wants her own phone, but being able to afford two smartphones on my budget (a single mom and freelance writer) is practically impossible. Republic seems do-able.
I’ve been using Republic since May and am totally satisfied with the service and my Moto G but I know a couple people who are very much short on money so this would be perfect for them.
Yes, please… My niece is trying to get out from Verizon, and I’ve been trying to convince her this is the way to go… This would definitely convince her!
I’d use it for my Kid’s phone. My wife and I are already going to make the move to republic.
I would give a moto e to my friend heidi. She is a single mom of the sweetest 13yr old little girl. She owns her own small business and took in her daughters best friend who was abondon by her family. The friend is 17yrs old. Both girls are on honor roll. She now has 3 phones one which I Gog her on republic to help try save her money. She is looking to move both her kids lines over. I could write a book with all that has happened to heidi and her daughter but you probably wouldn’t believe me with as bad as it is. She constantly donating to abused women shelters, taking care of less fortunate out of her own pocket or out of her business so I would love for something good to happen for her. Just I the last year alone she has had roughly $75,000 in medical bills between her and her daughter. Please give it so someone who really could use it. Her total cell bill was around $250 for all 3 phone lines on alltel.
I’d give it to my mom. I’ve been with Republic since June and I love it. She’s currently on a two year old prepaid plan with U.S. Cellular and a very old Samsung Freeform. It’s pretty overpriced, but she’s hesitant to switch (due to the cost of a new phone). This would be a great way to kick her right into a new service!
I already have the Moto X on Republic and both phone and service are really great. I’d give the E to my buddy who still has a flip phone on a major carrier for some inexplicable reason. If you’re on the fence about Republic, just try it for the 30 days they give you. It only took me about 4 to decide to port my number.
I switched my wife and oldest son to Republic from Tracfone. They love it; no more rationing minutes and texts. The overall cost isn’t any more than I was paying monthly for a small number of minutes. If I won, I would give the phone to my younger son so that we can keep in contact when he goes to friends’ houses. Or, I might give it to my dad and get him off the Tracfone.
I would give it to my wife who works from home all day with no home phone. It would be ideal for her to have something that she could use for work without having to eat up all the cell minutes.
I need the phone. I am paying too much for the service that I do have. I want to switch to Republic, just need to either save up and get a phone, or hopefully win one.
I would give my husband a new phone. I just switched to republic and we are saving to buy him a phone so he can switch over, too. Love republic!
I’d like to win a Moto E and give it to myself so I can have a personal phone instead of just a work phone…
The Moto E would be a great cell phone for my tween age daughter. She is participates in several afterschool activities, and has tons of friends to text. The Wi-Fi capability will allow her to surf the net without helping to worry about overage data. #motoEatweensbbf #republicwirelessaparentsbbf
I would give one to a good friend of mine who has been out of work for a long time and has a child to support. This would help him in finding a job and being able to keep in contact with his son. Thanks for your promotion!!! I love Republic Wireless – I’ve been with them since the beginning.
I’d give the phone to my husband. I have two Republic phones already (personal and business), and want my husband to get on the Republic Wireless bandwagon…I’m such a fan!
I would give it to myself, because I have been debating getting a cell phone for a few weeks and RW has been on my watch list from the beginning!
I have a daughter who is a freshman in college who hasn’t been able to find work because she doesn’t have a phone, and can’t afford a phone because she can’t get a job. This would be a great phone for her, she’d be able to find work and it would be really cheap for her to keep paying for every month.
I would like to win one because my phone broke and would like a phone lifestyle change. Thanks!
I would give it to myself along with a new Republic Wireless phone plan. As a newly divorced mom with 3 kids in college (at one time!) and the youngest in high school, my budget is turning blue from lack of circulation. I can’t continue to pay Verizon $100+ a month. I’ve been trying to find the money to purchase a RW phone for over three weeks so I can switch. This win would eliminate that obstacle.
My wife and I love Republic Wireless. I think I would keep the phone for myself though, my wife has a new phone and mine has dog teeth marks on it.
I would give one to my friend Renee whose old phone is way outdated. She has asked me about my service with republic wireless and their service and would love their WiFi service at her home in the country as her current cell provider doesn’t have service there.
I would love to win a phone for my 13 year old son. I switched to Republic in May & have the Moto G. I have been extremely happy with the service & LOVE the price, it’s perfect for what I need. My son is in 8th grade & busy with sports & other activities. He has not had his own phone yet but we think he is now old enough to handle the responsibility & it would make my life as a busy Mom of 3 easier with being able to keep in touch with him & having him be able to let me know when he is ready to be picked up.
I’d give to my wife, I’m a devoted Republic Wireless customer, my wife wants to make the jump this would just seal the deal.
I have been thinking of switching to Republic Wireless for a while. I could keep it, give it to my husband, or give it to our 2 nieces who have lived with us for 8 years. We are hoping to save money doing this….we live on a TIGHT budget!!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this, I love to have at least a chance for something as nice as this for free!
I’d give one to myself and the other to my ten yr old son. !He’ d be the coolest kid on the block!
I’d give it to my boys or my elderly father. Who am I kidding I’d use it and give one of them an older phone from the drawer of old phones. My spouse and I actually both use Republic.
I’d give it to my son. He has his dad’s very old phone (defy from RW). My son would be so excited to get a new phone. Thank you for this opportunity.
I love RW and have been a customer for over a year now. I would keep this phone and use it as a separate work line and have better work/life balance!
I would give it to my daughter as an upgrade for her defy.
i would like give it to my son
I have been a loyal RW customer for a year now and have been spreading the word to everyone I know! I’d give this phone to my sister-in-law because she’s between jobs, doesn’t have a phone, and we occasionally like talking to her!
I switched to republic wireless last year after finally ending my contract with at&t. I was nervous at first because I hadn’t ever heard of this company until I did some digging online. After a few weeks with my new phone all fears were relieved. I can’t express enough how great republic wireless is! It’s great on my broke college student budget, I always have service, I don’t have to worry about overages, my bill is the same price every month, I can finally understand the breakdown of charges and feel confident I am not being ripped off and intimidated by impossible to read bills, the list goes on! Love the phone love the service LOVE the price. I am begging my family to leave at&t now that their contracts are up so if I won I would give the phone to my wonderful but paying too much for her phone mother!
My friend is planning to switch to republic and would be thrilled to win one!
I would give the Moto E to my daughter. She will be 13 on Friday October 24 and this would make the perfect first phone for her.
I love the Republic Wireless philosophy and would like a Moto E for myself!
I’ve been with RW for a while and have the moto x. I love it and the customer service is better then I’ve ever experienced with other companies. I have a daughter who is a single mom in college who could really use a phone with a low payment plan. I would give the phone to her.
I would love to pass along a cool, new phone bundled with Republics sweet service to my brother. He got into a crappy, low wage job coming out of the Army and he could use a little pick me up right about now! The service has got to be cheaper than what he has with ATT and the phone is definitely an upgrade over his shattered iPhone he can’t afford to replace.
I would keep the phone for myself. I have been limping along a Nexus 4 on Straight Talk. (battery is shot, screen is broke, and camera stopped working). I just haven’t been able to justify spending the money on a new phone right now. I have been fascinated by Republic since I read about them, and would love to give them a shot.
I would give the phone to my daughter. This would be her first cel phone so she would be beyond excited lol. We have actually been looking over Republic Wireless for my husband and myself once our contract is up with our current (overpriced) carrier in April. Thanks for offering this super giveaway!
I would give the phone to myself! I have the 1st generation of smart phone offered by Republic Wireless and it has issues. It does not have enough internal space in addition to it not being able to send or receive SMS texts (pictures). It also does not perform well with calling on the wireless network.
I would love to win one or two of these great phones phones. I want to give one to my 88 year old Mother, so i can keep in touch with her and she can with me as well on the cheap.
The 2nd one i want to give to my daughter, she is a single Mom and unemployed right now due to injury and she needs to save every penny that she can just to take care of her daughter.
Both of them are worthy recipients of owning a great phone and a fantastic phone service such as Republic Wireless.
Thank you so much for this opportunity….
I have a moto x from RW and would give the Moto E to my daughter in college.
What would I do? I’d use this as my primary phone for university because my current service costs double the price!
I have had republic wireless for a few months now and love it, so I would give it to my mom for Christmas. My parents have att with messaging phones and spend a fortune!
My 15 year old daughter has been wanting a smartphone for a while now, and I would give this phone to her. I have been with Republic Wireless for a while now, and I love their service! I have a MotoX, and I think the Moto E with RW service would be perfect for a 15 year old who is starting to travel away from home.
I want one for myself, and for my wife. To save Alot of money, and neither of us have “smart” phones. Our phones are barely working and are just one step above flip phones. And Republic wireless is in my eyes the way to go!
I’d like to win this phone to give it to my mother. She is sick and unable to work currently, her current cellphone bill is outragious and she can no longer afford it.
I have been with Republic for about 6 months now. I came along before the moto E, but I would get it if I were still in the market. I love my $10 phone bill. It keeps me talking wherever I go. And in my “dead zone” house, I am covered by wi-fi.
Make no mistake, Republic is a great way to save money.
I have a moto x from RW and love it. Would give the Moto E to my frugal daughter at college.
I would give it to my son so I can reach him when he is off playing at friends’ houses after school. This phone would be an affordable way to keep in touch and stay on top of where he is. Plus it would be sooo nice to be able to be able to reach him if he is slow in walking home for dinner (and save me some new gray hair)!
I’d love a new phone to replace my older, cracked phone.
I’d give one to my wife, my baby girl just broke her phone, and me too!
I’d love to win one for my son. He’s been wanting a phone for years, but our “budget” is tight. This would be a great opportunity for him to finally get one!
I give a Moto E to my house (house phone replacement)
To my 15 year old son, just got a job and could really use a phone.
I’d give it to my granddaughter who would love to have a house phone when her Mother is gone with her cell phone. It’s just a little thing (because whoever is caring for her at the moment always has a phone), but I’d love there to be a ‘house phone’ that she knows how to use when she’d like to be able to get in touch with her Mother …or grandparents! And the $5 plan sounds like something her Mother would love!
I do not have a cell phone-unable to afford the cost of purchasing the phone. Would be amazing to finally have the peace of mind to contact someone if needed when I am out and about. Love how Republics pricing structure makes it possible for everyone…
My Moto G had a date with the pavement, so an E would be a fine replacement. Silly pavement.
I would give this phone to my husband so I can find him or he can find me when we are working around our farm. I just signed up with RW last week and got my phone. Now he needs a phone. We own an apple orchard and strawberry farm and 2 phones would help us talk across our farm! Better communication after 35 years of marriage.
I would give it to my son
I’d give one to my mother. She’s always talking to me and my son on borrowed time since she doesn’t have a phone of her own. It’d be a great Christmas gift that would pleasantly fit her budget!
Kudos on switching and putting RW on the spotlight by the way. Great article!
I’ve been saving up to buy a Moto E from Republic Wireless for the past couple months, but I’m not there yet! It would be great to win one and then put that saved money on the family’s dinner plates instead!
Definitely my husband. We’re paying way too much for his old school cell phone and this is a perfect step into the smart phone world for him!
I have been looking for a way to switch to republic wireless! we live on a tight budget as a family of 6 on one income. As a stay at home mom I try to find the best way to budget and manage for everyone. My husband works very hard to provide for our children but that means as grown ups we go without. We were hoping by Christmas we might have enough money to buy ourselves phone to switch over but this would be amazing to win as a surprise for my husband to show him how much I appreciate him.
Thank you so much for this offer I hope whoever gets it really appreciate your generosity.
Christy
I would give one to my beautiful daughter and the other one I would trade for a Moto X as the camera in the Moto E leaves a lot to be desired.
I’m currently a Republic Wireless customer and my son is at the age where a basic cell phone is no longer cool. I would love to get a new phone for myself so that I can pass down my older phone to him.
I would give it to my daughter who is almost 12 and getting ready for middle school. It would be nice for her to have a phone so she can call me when she is done with her after school activities. I think it would probably give me “Cool Mom” status for a little while. :)
I love Republic Wireless! I would give the free phone to my husband. We “share” mine…which means he borrows it occasionally. : ) I’d love to be able to give him his own!!
I would give it to my Dad. He has never had a smartphone and wants to get off of his Verizon plan. He paid for my plan for over 10 years. Even if I don’t win I will probably buy one for him;-) Yay Republic Wireless!
Myself and hope it will finally convince my husband that we should switch.
I would like to enter the contest. I would give the Moto E to my daughter. She is always asking for my Moto X from Republic and this would help.
I would give it to my 15 year old daughter. I already have the Moto X with Republic Wireless and love it!!
I would give the phone to my parents. They have an almost smartphone and pay twice as much for the cell service! It would surely convince them to spread the word about RW!
I would use it as a home phone with the $5.00 plan. Then we could get rid of our landline!!!!
I would give the phone to myself and see how well the service works where I live.
I’d give my son a new phone for Christmas!
I have had Republic Wireless for several months and really love the low pricing, unlimited usage, and overall quality of the service. If I won a Moto E, I would give it to my husband, who does not have a cell phone yet. (Can you believe that?!)
I would give one to my husband. His Moto G was stolen last month and I’m waiting for a couple pay cycles to save enough to replace it. This would be an amazing holiday gift since we are already on Republic!
I would give both of them to my parents. They are in need for new phones, and they’re wanting to go with Republic Wireless, but they’re very tight on money at the moment. This would be perfect for them to have the opportunity to be able to switch to Republic!
I’d give one to my mom she has an old flip pay as you go fone. My MotoX took a spill at Red Rocks and is pretty smashed up. I love Republics rates, but I could use a new phone one that is not smashed up.
love love love republic Wireless. I refuse it to get my teen son his own phone.
To my boss so he will see why the company should change phone plans while saving money.
I would give the phone to my little brother because his phone screen is full of broken glass and I don’t want him to cut himself because I love him. Also his phone is just poorly made alcatel phone.
I would give it to my church so we could use instead of paying charter $30 a month for a phone line. Just purchased 3 of these for my family.
I’d give one to my grandmother in Canada who I don’t get to speak with very much and one to my grandmother in Florida who can’t really afford to keep a phone. I’d love to fly out and personally give it to them. It would blow there minds, especially since I haven’t seen my grandmother in Canada in many years.
I joined RW almost two years ago to the day, 10/24/2012, and I have loved it ever since! I joined while they were in beta when the only phone option was the Motorola Defy. HUGE improvement once they rolled out the Moto X. I am a huge supporter and have converted much of my family to RW :)
If I won I would give one to my dad because he has never had a cell phone and I was recently telling him about RW and the other to my mom because she recently broke up with her fiance and is going through a financially tough time and this could help her out.
I’d like to win a phone for my sweetheart of a boyfriend. Through some unfortunate circumstances he finds himself in not as great a financial state as he’d like to be in. He’s been working hard to change that and has been trying to pinch pennies to get himself out of debt, by doing things like canceling cable tv and not going out to eat. He currently has my old Defy XT from Republic Wireless, a tolerable but buggy old phone. He’s always doing nice things for me and I’d love to give him a better phone and help him save even more money in the process.
I have the Moto X with republic and love it! I would love to win this phone for my mom and could convince her how much money she could save.
I want one for me. I’ve been waiting to get one but would love to get one for free!
I would give the phone to my son to start on his own plan.. which will lower mine at Sprint! Right now for 2 phones, I am paying 150! Not necessary using Republic!
Hello!
My wife just got a Moto G with Republic Wireless.
I have had a Moto X from about launch with them.
The service is great. We love the savings.
With the plan of one phone at $25 and two at $10 we will pay less for all three of us than almost any other carrier for one person.
We now need to get my daughter a Moto E.
This would be a great save on our budget.
I hope we are considered.
Thanks.
I would give one phone to my son and purchase a secound for my daughter so i can scrap the cheep pay as you go phones they now have ;)
I would give it to my mom. She needs a good phone at a low rate.
I love RW! I would give the phone to either my husband or my daughter. I love my Moto G and the major savings on my phone bill!
I would give one to my Mom who is in a Verizon dead zone! I love my RW phone and my daughter and husband are super excited to finally get theirs!
I would give this to my fiancé so she can drop her current phone plan and save 70 bucks a month! Go RW! :)
For my partner who is working in a conflict zone in Africa. After a year being there, I would like to have a phone all prepared when she is ready to return.
I have a Moto G with RW and would love a Moto E to replace our home phone. Republic Wireless is awesome! Thank you!
I would love to win for myself. My husband has the MotoX with RW and loves it.
I’d replace our home phone with it and get the $5 plan. Talk about cheap! And it would let my kids text me. Win win!
I would give the phone to my mom and convince her to ditch her phone plan. She pays $200+ each month for 3 phone lines. It’s ridiculous. RW would definitely help her out.
I’d give it to my mom. She doesn’t believe me about the service and the price!
We have been researching new cell carriers to get out of over priced contracts. This would go to one of our boys, and would let us know if RW would work for us. We aren’t exactly in a Sprint area.
I need a first phone for my 11 year old. So, it would go to him.
I’d give the phone to my son who is 19 and has NEVER had a smart phone. We are extremely “frugal” and I know he would be thrilled.
I’d give it to my wife. She “hates” cell phones, but lately steals mine all the time to have text chats with our son who is now away at college. I think what’s changed her mind about cellphones was my getting a Republic Wireless phone. We had Verizon for a long time, then T-Mobile. When I heard about RW I couldn’t wait to sign up, but had to wait for the “mid-grade” phone (hey, I’m cheap….errr, I mean frugal). She never used any of my old phones, but now borrows my phone when she leaves the house (I work from home) and grabs it a lot at home just to text with our son. So, I think her opinion is changing. All that said, I know there’s no way we can (or that she would) shell out $100 for a new phone for her. But, a free phone? That we could afford!!
I would keep the phone for myself and say to the red devil Verizon.
And then probably get another full priced one fro my Wife.
I have been a long time receiver and fan of the budget are sexy newsletter, so I am not clear if I am eligible to win a smartphone; but if I am, I would give it to my son who has juvenile diabetes. He does not have a cell phone, he is always on the go and I think he would be just safer healthwise to have a phone. Thank you for this opportunity.
To my wife because it’s a good phone without breaking the budget.
I use Republic and have no complaints with their service. However, I did recently crack the screen on my Motorola Defy, so it would be nice to get a new phone…. :-)
I would give it to my husband, but if he didn’t want it I’d give it to my mother-in-law.
I’d give it to my father-in-law to replace his ridiculously expensive land line. Time to cut the cord!
Been reading about Republic for a couple months. We’d save just under $100 a month and I’d use the phone myself and get my hubby one and probably my oldest as well and still save $$$.
Hello! I’d love to give one of these for my mother-in-law. Her current provider is horrible and her phone is also terrible. I’m not going to name any names. Just a year ago she retired and went through a horrible break up with her bf who was trying to stalk her so she got a restraining order on her. Also, she was supposed to move back into her old house that she was renting and the tenant extended their stay without paying for over 3 months. She finally moved into her place after having to evict her tenant and now to top it all off she is having issues with her phone. This woman desperately needs a new phone and a new service. She deserves it!
I’ve been using Republic Wireless service personally for about a year and it’s saved me well over $50 a month. My friends are constantly drooling when I tell them that I pay $28 a month for unlimited everything. I’ve tried to tug the iphone away from my wife and convince her that she doesn’t need to be tied to AT&T any longer. A free RW phone would convince her and help us save another $30 a month which we could put toward starting our kids college fund.
I’m a satisifed current RW customer. I’d give the Moto E to my fiancee to replace her 4-year old flip phone.
I would give it to my mother. She would really like a smart phone but can’t afford one on her fixed income.
I’d talk to our church and find a person who is in need of a cheap phone and service plan and give them one. We’d keep the other for our home phone under the $5 plan after the free three months were over.
Me! I broke my phone and need a new one. :(
If I win the contest, I would give the phone to my brother. We were just talking about switching him to Republic Wireless last night. I already subscribe and my experience has been just as J Money said….a bit spotty here and there but I too am done paying so much for phone service. I chose the $10 plan back n June and I don’t plan on going back.
If i should be picked I would pass this phone off to my daughter in college. Safety and communication are two of my biggest desires. We have had great luck with RW, and want to continue saving hard earned dollars.
I’d give it to my gf because i keep paying for expensive verizon cell phone plan
I would keep the phone for myself. A family member has already made the switch to RW and I have been waiting for the right time for me to “upgrade” from my old Razr phone to my first real smartphone. This would be just what I needed! Thanks!
I pick me because it’s almost my Birthday (12-2-80)!
I would give it to NY daughter who has autism. It would help here to be able to get in touch during times of troubles.
I have been a Republic Wireless customer for a few years. I’ve been trying to get my girlfriend to sign up without much luck. If I win I’ll give the Moto E to her so she can see firsthand how great Republic is, and stop complaining about her service and phone.
I would give the phone to my husband. He has a crappy little phone that doesn’t even take pictures. Heck, a flip phone would be an upgrade for him. He deserves something better, though, like a Moto E
I am republic wireless customer and would love to win a phone for my retired mother who is currently not with republic but does a pay per minute plan, with no smart phone. This would help her out greatly to stay on budget. Thank you for the chance and for you website.
I looooooove Republic Wireless! We switched from iPhones and Verizon a year ago, and have been loving the bill ever since! The phone would go to my son, who is just on the verge of needing a phone. Glad to see you spotlight that amazing company.
I would give it to my daughter who has autism. It would help here to be able to get in touch during times of troubles. Also it would help me to keep in touch with her when she is visiting friends.
I’d keep it for myself. I’ve never had a smartphone and would like to have instagram to see up to date pictures of my grandkids.
My cousin and his kids are throwing money in a fire with old phones and poor service from a popular MVNO provider. If I won the phone, I could get them to switch to Republic and save a bunch of money.
I would either give the phone to my 70 year old dad, who is the proud owner of a flip phone, or my 19 year old daughter, a college student. It would be a toss up but both would certianly enjoy and appreciate it. Thanks! ;)
I’d give the Moto E to our household and kick the home phone out the door,
I would give the phone to my in-laws. My wife is already on Republic, and I am on Ting because my number cannot be ported to Republic.
I would replace my sons HTC one v. Just a little outdated but still works, for a budget.
I would give the Moto E to my wife. I have a Republic Wireless Moto X–I love the phone and the service! I’ve been trying to get my wife make the switch to a smartphone. This would be just the thing!
I’d keep it for myself and (after removing the 32GB micro SD card), I’d throw my crap Samsung Galaxy Centura Tracfone as far out into the jungle as I could manage, let the wild pigs have it!
I just want to win so I can give it to my sister so we can finally get rid of her dreaded iPhone. :)
I would like to go on republic wireless.
I would give the phone to my wife so that she can join me on republic wireless!
I would LOVE to win this phone for myself. I have already switched 2 of my sons over to Republic Wireless, as well as my mother, and plan on switching my other son and myself over as soon as our contracts are over next month, I would LOVE to win one phone FREE to help with the transition. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING plan and coverage :) So grateful to have an affordable plan for my large family! No more $400 monthly phone bills for our family!
I would give it to my little brother! Senior in College, about ready to start life!
I would give it to my daughter As I have the Defy XT, i’m in the Bata program so I get to keep the unlimited all for only 19 a month.. My wife has the Moto G.. so this would be Katelyn’s Christmas present …
If I won the Republic Wireless MotoE, I would give it to my son. He has had a phone through Metro for a few years. But, not only does it cost more…once he started high school this year he gets ZERO reception on that side of the campus. If he walks to the Middle School area or the parking lot, his phone starts pushing through his missed texts and calls….Hours! Later! :( Not very convenient for me when I need to get a message to him.
Sprint’s 3G towers might not have the best reception for the area code my son goes to school in, but there is at least 1 Bar at all times, and texts/calls can be received and made.
Thanks!
I would give the phone to my 19 year old son who is currently living with his father. It would be nice to have a direct line to my son with out the fear of a lying liar hole picking up the phone.
I’d give the phone to my oldest daughter. She’s been begging for a cell phone for years!
I’d keep the smartphone and use it for our house instead of a landline.
I LOVE republic wireless. If I won, my younger daughter would get the phone. She may get one even if I don’t win. My husband, older daughter and I are already on republic and are saving so much overt he family plan we used to have. We have occasional bad service/dropped calls but we did with AT&T, too. And when my older daughter broke her defy republic sold us a Moto G for the same price as a refurb Defy replacement. The customer service has been phenomenal. I never want to go back to a contract again.
I’d give the phone to either myself or my wife, as we’ve been trying to pay as little as possible for smartphone cell usage, because we’re primarily on wifi. So far, we’ve tried Ting, Zact, Virgin Mobile Custom, Freedompop, and Ringplus. Looking into Republic Wireless, Scratch, Textnow, & other Sprint MVNOs.
I’d give it to my husband! He’s going to be our first guinea pig for Republic Wireless!
I would give the phone to my mother who doesn’t have a cell phone!
I would give them to my boys, both of whom have medical issues but participate in sports and there is no phone on field or in the old gym. It would give me peace of mind.
I would love to be able to give one to my little sister. She’s 14 and I miss being able to talk to her. She has a straight talk phone but since she doesn’t work (yet) she can’t pay the bill. With a republic wireless phone she would be able to pay it and I wouldn’t have to worry about her constantly or wonder what she is doing. My mother cannot provide the phone bill for my younger sister because she is disabled with kidney failure. I would love to do this for my lil sister!!
I am also in the process of switching to Republic Wireless as well.
I would give the phone to myself as my husband & I are trying to save up every penny we can find to finish funding our infant adoption process & I JUST cracked the screen on my phone today. :(
I have had my Republic Wireless Moto-G for almost a year and am very pleased with the service and especially the price. I would like to give one to my son who is still stuck with a flip phone and a rubber band holding it together.
I would give it to one of my sons! I have republic wireless and love them! I hope whoever wins falls in love with them, too!! Thank you for the opportunity!!
I’d like to give the phone to my friend because she’s a really good friend to me and really deserves it!! I also love republic wireless with their outstanding service, so I’d like everyone to get a republic wireless phone!!
I want to give one to a friend who still has a flip phone. He’d really like it.
I’ve been with Republic Wireless since last Spring.
LOVE THEM!
They have saved me so much money.
I’d give the new MotoE to my son, I’ve been planning to buy him one, so getting one through here would be awesome.
I would give it to my grandma! She would love it.
If I were to win the Moto E, I would give it to my son who is in the NROTC program with the Marine option.
Oorah!
I would give it to my wife so I could convince her to switch to RW. She is a little hesitant.
I’ve never owned a smartphone.
To message friends, I use (clunky) texting applications on my old iPod. Unfortunately, over the past few months, it’s been having problems, and the ‘fix’ is a replacement of a many years old device. I go to a school where 90% of the students use iPhones, with the other 10% using high end Android devices. It’s always a little embarrassing when someone asks for my number and I ask them to send something to my email instead. With a phone, I’ll be able to do so much. I’ve always wanted to develop applications for Android based devices, but I’ve never had one to test with. I think I’ll use this phone to its fullest, as both a consumer device and a tool for education.
I’d like to give one to our daughter. We dropped our land line and this way her friends wouldn’t be calling my phone!
I’d give the phone to my daughter as her first phone. With the $10 plan, I wouldnt need to worry about her sending a ton of texts or racking up overages, and the wi-fi plan is a great way for her to utilize our home network to surf the net, play game, etc. I’ve been on Republic for about 4 months (my wife and I each signed up and have the $10 plan with the Moto G) – so far, so awesome and a great way to save some bucks each month.
I would want it for myself, my wife recently dropped and shattered her old phone and I give her mine till we can save up to get me another and it’s kind of a pain sometimes cause I’m on the interstate alot and I use to use the GPS on my phone to help me get around and now it’s a little more frustrating for me, not to mention the fact of not having a phone in case of emergency :-/
If I won, I’d give one to my husband. I’d love to be able to finally have a smart phone, and all of the money saving apps I could get!!! As a bonus, it would get us out of our current provider, to which we pay $166/mo.
If I won the Moto E drawing, I’d give it to my son. He needs a phone! :)
I have been with RW for nearly 2 years- saw a cnet story about it. Can’t beat the low cost plan and most of our use is in wifi areas so we are way below any data ceiling. I have gotten the other phones for my wife and this year added my 13 year old. She has the $10 plan so she can talk or text to get a hold of us anytime but can only surf or play when she is home on the wifi- great deal for kids. I would keep this one for myself because i have a work phone and can”t get apps for it or surf the net easily.
would love to give this service a try . A free phone would be a perfect opportunity to do so. Been watching RW for a while , looks like some awesome deals for cell service. I am all about letting people know about a bargain
My wife has had Republic Wireless for a few months and the price can’t be beat, and the coverage is great for the price paid. Now I need a phone so I can make the switch also!
I’m just coming aboard to Republic Wireless and could sure use a phone for my wife.
I’ve been waiting for the Moto E to come out to make the switch from charge-you-for-every-little-thing-and-some-that-you-don’t-authorize AT&T. Please help me help myself!!!!
I’d give it to my wife so we can ditch her crummy old phone and her crummy old T-Mobile plan for something that’s worth having.
I’d give myself the phone because I am stuck with Virgin Mobile right now. I am in their old 25 a month 300 min plan but I need the unlimited without a rate increase.
I would give the phone to my mom. I’m in west Virginia and she is in California. She can’t really get work and has to live on disability,so she needs a good phone and cheap plan so she can keep in contact when she has to be out.
Subscribed! I’d definitely keep this treasure for myself. Already ditched costly cable TV think it’s time to ditch my costly phone service as well!
I need to replace my old phone. Please?
I would give the moto e phone to my grandson. I told him when he makes straight A’s, I will get him a smartphone and an account with Republic Wireless. He is very movtivated. I LOVE Republic wireless!!
I’d keep it for myself…not quite ready for my little ones to have a phone. I love the idea of lower monthly costs with republic wireless.
I’m writing to sponsor my friend Margaret Pridgen who needs to leave AT&T behind and finally switch to Republic Wireless! She has been seeing my use my Republic Wireless phone for months and seems very interested. Together we can convert her to love RW as much as I do! Thanks in advance!!
I want a Republic Wireless phone or our family. I am home part time with our two small kids and the only way we can have me remain home as much as I am is to drastically cut our budget. So far, we have cut our cable and gone to streaming. The next is to cut our current cell phone carrier for a much more affordable plan through Republic. Those two changes alone saves our family over $200/month. Of course, my husband driving a car with almost 400K miles isn’t hurting either! :)
I’d give to my hubby who needs a cheaper cell phone plan! Thanks for considering me! Love to save money:)
I’d give it to my sister and family. My brother in law lost his job last year and they could really use this!
We already use Republic Wireless and love it! I would give the phone to my oldest son!
Thanks! Budgets are a way of life. Please also enter me in the contest for free Moto-E phones! I would give one to my husband and one to myself. We still have flip-phones because I can’t justify the budget expenditure for smart-phone purchase and service. We already have to pay for data that we don’t not use to get a cheaper plan with Verizon- makes no sense to save money by paying for a product we do not use, but Verizon does not negotiate or speak common sense. I have been following Republic Wireless for some time (and waiting for the Moto-E) trying to convince myself that they are not “too good to be true”.
I would give the Moto E to my girlfriend.
I’m leaving Verizon this month, and I’m trying to bring her with me to Republic Wireless. She won’t be able to afford to both buy a phone from Republic and cancel her contract with Verizon, so it will be months until she’s able to make the switch and start saving money. They want $180 from her to cancel. She needs an out!
I would give the phone to my daughter.
I would give it to my mom because she is stuck in the year 2000 with a flip phone. I think that she could really use an upgrade.
I would give it to myself! I’ve been looking to switch over to Republic Wireless for awhile and I was so excited when they came out with the Moto E! Best plan I’ve found.
I will give one to a single mother of 4 that cannot afford a phone.The other one I will give to my church daycare so they can have a guaranteed portable emergency phone.
Thanks
I’d give it to my dad. He’s been wanting one for a while but hasn’t gotten it yet.
I would give mine to my mom. I switched to rw based on j money’s review and LOVE it! I haven’t had any dropped calls or any other problems. I’ve been trying to get my mom to switch!
I would love to add these to the 2 Moto X we have with Republic already. My daughter and sister would be the recipients of these 2 wonderful phones.
I would give it to my Mom! She doesn’t have a decent cellphone, and lives on a very fixed income. She has done so much over the years, and I owe her so much! This would really help her, and help us stay in contact. I really want to give her this! I have saved over $200 a month with Republic, and I love it!
I would give the Moto E to my mother as her first smart phone. She has a tracfone as her mobile device and pays for a landline she cant even make long distance calls on so she uses the Tracfone to talk with family or if she isnt home. She just doesnt know what she is missing out on and how much money she can be saving.
my daughter because she probably lost her phone by now
I would give it to my 10yo daughter. The $10 a month plan is perfect for a preteen. My teenage daughter is happy with her Moto G on WR.
I would keep it for myself since my phone is quite antiquated, and I’ve been curious about Republic. Would love to give them a try and start saving more money!
I would like the phone for myself as I have an old fashioned flip phone that people think is ridiculous, plus I don’t hear from certain people because they can’t just text me — they would actually have to CALL AND TALK to me — oh no!! Thanks for the giveaway.
My husband and I are already Republic Wireless customers, but I’d love to give one to my son, who is paying T-Mobile $50/month for service on a crappy phone.
we are starting to plan well ahead of our retirement and want to trim the fat. The cost of communication has become ridiculous. Republic Wireless is a fantastic company. Thanks
I don’t have all that much to say, but I’d give the smartphone to my girlfriend of soon-to-be one year and many to come :). She is currently attending college an hour away, and her phone often screws up our calls and texts. It’d sure be nice to surprise her with a new fancy smartphone for our 1 year mark :) as well as it’d be nice for her to have a phone that wouldn’t screw conversations up :p
I’d give the phone to my nephew who just bought a house out in the boonies and can’t get cell phone service but mine (Republic Wireless) worked fine there. He would be so happy.
Or I would give it to my son who wants to lower his cell phone bills.
I’d give it to my husband. We use republic wireless now, but only have one phone currently!
I already have two RW phones and I really like the service, but would certainly use one more. We were paying $105 a month for two “dumb” phones prior, and now we’re paying $35 a month for two smartphones, with no contract. I also like that we have unlimited talk/unlimited text – no more worrying about minutes to paying extra for text messages. I recommend RW to all my friends.
I would give it to my self so i can get off att an get better service an cheaper plan
I would keep the phone for myself. My parents have Republic and love it! They’ve never had any problems with it after getting Moto G’s earlier in the year. It actually costs them less to have smart phones with Republic than dumb phones with Verizon. It’s amazing!
I would give my Moto E to my lovely wife so we both can enjoy the frugality of Republic(she’s currently on a much more expensive network).
I’d like the phone for myself. My husband has Republic Wireless and really enjoys it. I have been thinking of switching from my ‘dumb’ phone on Verizon to a smartphone on Republic for awhile.
i would give it to myself because i really would like to get off of the government phone im currently using, also i use my cell phone as my home phone it would be nice to have a better phone.
I would give the phone to my 16 year old daughter who just got her drivers license
I just got mine. So far, I love the Moto E (previous iPhone user)! It’s a kick ass phone for $99!
However, I have to admit, that I forgot to see what MVNO they reside on. If I had known Sprint, I may not have gone with them. Hmm… hopefully this will turn out to be a love-love situation for the long haul.
I would keep the two phones for my wife and myself. I’ve been thinking about switching to Republic because we’re almost always around WIFI and there are no value plans for two line households that are worth it yet.
Actually I already use Republic wireless so I know how good they are. I have been waiting for a reasonably priced phone to come out so I can add my children to my account and close out their Metro PCS one. They could both have a phone for less than I pay for just one now. So… Id I won a phone, I would only need to buy one more.
I would give it to my wife so I can have my old phone back
I’d probably get it for myself as a gift! Because currently I have a very dumb phone. ;)
I’d give the phone to our daughter and get her OFF the Verizon bill! Hubby and I already use RW, and our new USAF Airman made a very adult decision to get her own RW account (one less kid on the Verizon bill!), and I’d like to get the next kid in line on the RW bandwagon and save Daddy some more $!
I would like to enter the giveaway. I am not sure if I would give it to my boyfriend for my sister, both have worked very hard to get to where they are now and they could use a good phone and plan that suits them.
I’m a grad student with no money. Haha. However, I’m skeeting by just fine. I’d send it to my parents who live overseas, so we can talk/text just like if they were stateside. :-)
just got aRepublic Wireless moto phone for my daughter a couple of months ago, and we love the savings. Would love to get another moto from republic for my wife and get rid of the pricey iphone.
Have one for each of my 2 daughters. As my mom had a birthday yesterday, and she is using an old flip-phone… this would be her first SMART phone… and would make a great belated birthday present for her!
I love Republic Wireless! I just switched over 3 months ago. I would give this phone to my mom who really needs a new phone (and to switch to Republic Wireless).
Hi,
I would give the phone to my mom, she has a heart of gold and refuses to buy a smart phone because of the high cost. This would give her the push she needs.
Thanks for doing this
I’d give one to myself because with 4 kids I need to save all the money I can!! I’d give the other to my Mom because she likes a good deal as well!!
I’ve been on Republic for a year now and I’d love to upgrade to a phone that switched networks during calls. So, I’d give the phone to me. :)
I’d give it to my wife, I think she would like Republic because then she wouldn’t have to think about her usage at all and it would be really cheap.
I have been on Republic Wireless since June and it has been great. I was on Boost Mobile (which is on Sprint towers) and service with spotty, but with Republic and the roaming I have had no problems. If I won the phone, I would give it to my daughter. She would really like a smart phone and has been waiting to save up the money.
I have had RW for over a year and LOVE it! I would give the phones to my parents. They are with Verizon and are too nervous to make the switch. This would push them to make the change and give them an awesome smart phone in the process…a big win for everyone (except Verizon :) )
I’d give the phone to myself . I love republic wireless but I broke my moto x’s screen the first month. :'(
I’d give it to my mom for Christmas!
I would like to give a Moto E to my parents to replace their old flip-phone with a great Republic Wireless plan. With what they need, they could easily get by on RW’s $10/month plan and that would be a huge step up over what they have now in terms of features and cost! For retirees on a fixed income, every little bit of savings helps!
I recently went RW myself and I have no complaints whatsoever! I would give the MotoE to my mother since she is still using a Verizon flip phone that is costing her as much as this phone would if she switched to RW.
I’d love to be back on the Republic Wireless plan. I was on the beta when they had the Defy XT but my phone got lost and I can’t afford a new contract-free phone on minimum wage
I use republic and love it. Saves me tons of money. I would like to win this one to give to my friends who live in Swaziland Africa . they take care of hundreds of orphans in the extremely impoverished country, buy there is WiFi in their housing complex. It would be amazing for them to be able to male WiFi calls to america and keep yo with friends family and sponsors while they are there the next 2 years:) it cost s way too much to make long distance calls the traditional way over there!
I would give one to one of my sons. We just recently switched my husband and sisister to Republic Wireless and just love them!
Been with RW for about a year, the service fits our family perfectly (5 lines already) But my daughter’s RW phone went in the lake and did not come out functional; she has been saving to replace it, a free one would speed up the replacement process.
I have the Moto G with Republic, and have been very happy with the phone and the service. I really do think it is the best value in cell and wireless phone service. The Motos are the very best of the less expensive smartphones. I would give the phones to my 2 teenage stepsons who are immigrating to the U.S. this month. They are coming to work and study, and will need quality, affordable phones and service.
Hi! First of all, thanks for offering this great giveaway! I still use not-so-smart phone and the phone is making issues lately after using it for almost three years. I think it’s time to get a phone. I’ve been hearing good reviews about Republic Wireless and It would be great if I can give this phone to myself; I know many people I know will be happy if I finally can have a smart phone. Thanks :)
I’d give it to my friend, Andi. I’m already on Republic and I love my Moto X. Andi is under the impression that Android’s suck and I would LOVE to prove her wrong… Plus her current phone (iPhone 4… ewww) has a huge cracked screen. She needs an upgrade somethin’ fierce.
I’d give it myself, but try to get my daughter to like it!
My wife is killing her Verizon contract in December to join me at Republic, so I’d give it to her! But since she requires at least a Moto X to switch, I’ll probably give her mine and end up with the Moto E, which is fine by me :)
I would give the phone to my husband. He needs a simple smartphone, that’s simillar to my Moto X, so I can help him learn it.
I’d give it to my parents who are too set in their ways to change from their ‘tethered’ phones.
I would keep the phone for myself! I will be off contract from one of the Big 4 (hint: Death Star) at the end of November so what better time to join Republic and save some $$$!
If this submission were selected I would give the phone to my Kevin my uncle. He’s gone through a rough stretch recently after getting let go from his job of 17 years. He currently uses a Tracfone but doesn’t always have enough money every month to buy more minutes. This phone would be a simple way of making his life a little easier by providing access to a cheaper monthly phone plan. Thanks for creating this opportunity to help people out.
I would love to win one of these for my granddaughter who lives in Alaska…
I would give this to myself , ’cause I need to up date my track phone ….
I’d give this phone to my mom. The simplicity of Motorola’s phones combined with a great performance to price ratio make it a great fit. Plus Republic Wireless has always impressed me!
I would give this to my daughter , “cause she deserves a nice phone !!!
I have been with republic since the beta, and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I still have the Defy XT, and it works for me. I would give the phone to my wife, who enjoys the idea of Republic but is a little weary due to the learning curves that came with the Defy. I think she would greatly benefit from the E and we could start saving like $50 a month.
To be honest, I would give the Moto E to myself! I am just about to end a 14-year relationship with Verizon and will finally be able to do 2 things: GET OFF MY FAMILY PLAN (I am 28 yrs old) and GET A SMARTPHONE (I currently have a slide-out keyboard phone that has been great for 4 years, but it is time for an affordable upgrade!
Here’s to independence and embracing the new efficiencies of a phone that has internet capability—all while not breaking my grad-student budget!
I would give one to my sister. I LOVE my Republic Wireless phone and service and want to share it with her, but at this point she cannot afford the phone. So, if I could win a phone, I would share the phone with her.
I’d keep it for myself. I’ve been eyeballing Republic for a while and my current financial situation makes Republic my only real option for a a quality device and service.
I want to try out this service and get away from my iPhone. They update their OS and outdate the hardware. I do not want to keep buying new phone after new phone. That is what Apple is expecting.
I would give it my husband. His phone is on its last leg.
I would love to be able to give this to my teenager daughter. I have been waiting to get her a smart phone until we are eligible for an upgrade.
I’d give it to myself…it’s time to upgrade from the flip phone!
Hi, I just signed up for you Blog in hopes of winning a Republic Wireless Moto E to give to my Niece. She will graduate from College this spring and also needs to graduate from her Mom paying for her Cel phone! I’d really like to see her start off on the right foot with RW.
Thanks,
i would give one to my daughter i think it would be a great starter phone and plan
I’d give this to our 7 yr old daughter so that if she needed to reach us on her way walking home from school she can. It’s a constant fear of ours that something will happen to her on the way home.
I would keep the phone. I have been on sprint forever and cant stand them! My boyfriend has republic and has been trying to get me to switch for over a year. I would love to and could really use the free phone as I am trying to pay off my student loan debt!
I would bless my significant other with it. His phone screen is out so I worry about him being able to contact me.
I would give the phone to ME! I have been wanting to give Republic Wireless a try…
and i am still using my little tracfone I have had for years…no smart phone for me.
I just couldn’t justify the high monthly cost/contract.
But this looks like the answer to my problems..Woo Hoo – If I don’t win one I will have to buy one!
I’d love to be able to give this phone to my just turned 13 year old son! I have a Republic phone already, I am a single mom of 3 boys AND have been unemployed/underemployed for about 2 years now. No extra money for anything, including birthday gifts, etc. I “owe” them a lot and they never complain. :)
You’ve tickled my interest with RW for a few months now and have been considering switching to RW next year. I’m not sure what I would do with the extra phone just yet…got a few people in mind. But, I just received custody of 2 of my grandchildren & budget is TIGHT!! I would really appreciate a free smart phone and 3 months of service. That would be great!!!
I would welcome this new smart phone and the RW plan for a few months now. I’m excited to try it soon! I’m liking the reviews and the costs!! The 2nd phone I would probably give to my daughter-in-law…she’s due a new phone & she certainly deserves it!
I would love to have one for my mother-in-law to bring her to the light of Republic Wireless!
I’d give them to my parents they have sprint at the moment but their contract is up in november so it’s the perfect timing.
If I won then it would be for my wife – she’s using a Defy XT but would love to upgrade to a new phone. I’ve got a Moto X and love it.
I would give this to my mom who lived on very little
She could then get rid of her landline
My sister is a college student in dire need of a smart phone this new moto e would really help her out
I would give the phone with service to my friend who has been going through a hard time. He lost his job and has been looking for a new job to help pay off his school bills and this would really help him out in his search.
I’d give it to my daughter, who’s just about old enough to need a phone.
I’d give it to my husband for Christmas. He would be thrilled to throw out his flip phone and lower the bill :)
We currently are RePublic customers and love it. I would give the new phone to my husband (although he would dearly miss his camo cover on his current beta RePublic phone). Thanks for the giveaway. My fingers are crossed (eyes and legs, too).
My husband needs this phone. We used Republic Wireless a few years ago, until I got a work phone and he stopped because the first smartphone they worked with was sub-par. Now he uses a dumb phone and I would love to give him back the smart!
I would give the phone to my nephew to replace his defy. We have been with Republic since they started, the service has improved and the plans are awesome.
To my husband who needs to switch to save money! Thanks so much for your consideration!
I would give the phone to me! I have been following Republic Wireless for a while now looking to switch but haven’t been able to yet and would soooo love to try the phone and service. If I like it .. My whole family would switch but they are waiting for me to try the service! Here’s hoping I could win one :)
I would give the phone to my myself. It would be nice to not have to pay $60 per month for cell phone service.
I would give the phone to my brother as a a Christmas present! It would be so awesome since he’s 17 and could use a phone by now :) I lot show it’s only $99. Highly considering it getting it even if I don’t win since the plans are so cheap!
I would love to hand this over to my wife.
I would keep it for myself. I am a handicapped man on social security and disability, and buying a smart phone costs serious money. The phone I presently use is free, but very simple. Having a smart phone would help me a lot.
I would give the phone to my daughter who is in college, she is paying her own way and is broke! Would love to give it to her! Thanks
I would give one to my mother in law cause she still has a dumb phone and I would replace my moto x with RW because I dropped it and the screen shattered.
Republic Wireless does a great service for those who might otherwise not be able to afford a mobile phone. Kudos to Republic Wireless!
I would give the phone to my father because he uses a flip phone that I got him for his birthday years ago. He will not only benefit from the usage of a smart phone but the low monthly fees.
I need a phone. The 2 cans with the string just isn’t working.
I would give it to me so I could dump AT&T and my $120 per month bill—I’m ready!
My 14 year old son is constantly complaining that he “needs” a smartphone. I just went with RW last summer after reading your reviews. I have had no issues with it and I know my son would LOVE it!
I am riding out my verizon contract and switching to RW as soon as it’s up! I can’t wait to get out from under that and lower my cell bill. So, I’d get to do this sooner if I was blessed enough to win one :-)
I would use it.
I would give it to our youth minister.
I’ve been a Republic Wireless customer since way back in the “beta” days, and would love to upgrade my Defy. That, of course, would mean that I’d be keeping the phone for myself. (Providing I win it — Fingers crossed!)
I’d give it to my Mom, who doesn’t have a smartphone yet!
Republic Wireless would be a perfect replacement for me because I have very bad coverage atm with Verizon however I get full bars with Sprint!
Just got my wife one. I need one, but not enough money, wife pay 3 months ago had to take 1/2 cut in her pay or no job. Money is very tight. I also have a son in college in California and his phone is nearly working. He needs a new one. I told him that we did not have any extra money.
I think it would be so cool to win a free phone from republic wireless, and I would give one to my Mom as a gift.
I would definitely give this to my 15 year-old son, as he is starting sophomore year of high school and this would be a cheap phone that he could bash on and use for everyday life!
I need another phone for my youngest daughter. Am planning on getting her the Moto E now that it’s on sale, but I’ll take a free one for sure. Been a RW customer for some time now, have 3 phones (Moto X and two Moto G), could not be happier. Was soo glad when I gave Sprint and Verizon the boot. Absolutely cannot beat the rates, all of my 3 phones now costing me 50$ per month (crazy wife insists on 3G, although she spends most of her time at home anyhow). I have been trying to get this setup for many years (smart phone with no data plan, don’t need it) glad RW got my back. Hope these guys make it big and really shake up the industry.
Appears that Republic is just about the best value overall that can be found in wireless service. You can get cheaper phones but they will all have their issues. You may find a cheaper plan but again there will be limitations. The service allows me to select a plan that fits my budget and meets my needs! I can’t be happier.
I really need to win this phone for my wife who doesn’t have a smartphone and I cant think of anything better than this as her first smartphone. She does a lot for me and I really want to surprise her with this thing. Every time I ask her to get a smartphone she would say no as she doesn’t want me to spend on expensive data plans.
I would give one to my wife. She embodies the essence of the sexy budget. She is a great budget planner. So far, we have budgeted enough to get a new house and still be able to save money each month to do the requisite improvements and maintenance. She has a Republic phone but it is the original Defy XT. No offense but that thing is a hunk of shit! Somehow or another we budgeted enough for me to get the Moto X. I love it and I love Republics service. I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and coverage has never been an issue. She needs a new phone and she would never do it for herself. She is the quintessential selfless mom. Literally, it would be the last phone she would ever need. Thank you for your time.
My mom has always used a flip phone I have always thought she could use a smartphone. The moto E would be a great phone for her. The phone gets the job done. It would be awesome to get it.
I would give it to my 13 year old daughter. Her mother moved out of state with her, 2000 miles away. (illegally, I might add) I can only contact her through her mother, who isn’t near her that often. (she’s a teenager, of course) Or makes some excuse or other, as to why she can’t come to the phone. =(
I would give the phone to my Frugal is $exy wife…when she got promoted she wanted an iphone but kept her tracphone…gotta love that.
Been with republic for 3 yrs was on the Beta @ start-up–Love the Moto phones & savings, never had a smart phone before.
I’m first on the list! A smartphone would really help me with the small business I run out of my phone. Next up would be my mom. My dad died this last year and left her in a crap-hole financially (bless his heart :). I would love to save her $50/month on her phone!
I would give the phone to my husband who has an hour drive in Michigan snow to get to work. In the area he works we have tried so many phones and have not found any that get reception and I worry about his safety with such a long drive.
My mother-in-law.
I very recently took the RW plunge and am very happy with my Moto X on the $25/month plan. I’ve been dropping hints to my husband to make the switch from his older flip phone and saw the Moto E was soon available at a sweet price. Winning one would be even sweeter!
I would give it to my mom or dad! So they would finally make the switch to Republic Wireless and save tons of money!! :)
If I were to win, I would give this to my sister since she lives on a limited Income and having phone service this afforadable, would mean I could keep In touch with her and my nephew more often.
Would keep it for myself. Have been long term unemployed and can’t afford to keep the cellphone that I have in use. It also has a cracked screen and needs to be replaced, but no money to fix/replace the phone.
I would like to give one to my Dad because he uses a prepaid phone right now and thinks he is saving money while he is spending more and getting less. This promotion would be a perfect opportunity to show him that you can truly have more for less in today’s day and age.
I would keep it myself–i don’t currently have a phone, and have been trying to decide which RP
phone to get. for free, this would settle it.
I would give it to my wife. Because she rocks. And Motorola makes great phones.
I’d love a cheap as hell phone. I was laid off for 5 months and barely got a job this week. Playing catch up with debt and bills.
I would love to save some money on cell bills. That way we can do more with the kiddos.
I’d give the phone to my younger brother Matt, because his apartment was just robbed and all of his electronics were stolen, including his computer and cell phone :( He is on a fixed income, so this could really help him out!
If i won; I would give to my niece who is currently using a pre-pay plan. If both are given to me the other one would go to my brother in law, the biggest miser I know.
I’d like to give this phone to my mom because she is still using a dumbphone and I would like her to enjoy having a new smartphone. Also Republic Wireless is affordable so the bill would say the same or cheaper.
I’ve never had a smartphone but always wanted one. Right now I just have a basic phone on verizon. I don’t want to pay the hefty monthy bill for a smartphone. I really like how Republic Wireless sounds and want to try it. I’m very simple and would love to have the moto E for my first smartphone. Getting a moto e for Christmas or my birthday would be wonderful and all I really want.
I would give the phone to myself. As someone who is getting married in a little less than a year, I need every penny I can save in order to pay for living on my own and my new family to be!
I would keep this. I’m hesitant to get rid of my iPhone so this will allow me to try it before I cross over to the android side.
I would keep the phone for myself. I’ve been looking into switching over to Republic Wireless but as a college student most phones are just too expensive.
If I won, I would give it to my disabled daughter. All the rest of us have RW phones, but I haven’t been able to justify buying her one with the small amount of time she would actually use it. This would be great for her to use at home to call and text her siblings and we could easily handle the $5 monthly fee for her.
I have one RW phone already, I’d love another. I’d give it to my son and cancel one of our AT&T lines :)
My son is about ready for a phone. I currently have Republic Wireless. The bill is my favorite part.
I switched to Republic last January and have never looked back. As a single mom who never receives child support, literally every penny counts in my house. I have been very happy with their service. I have two children (11 and 15) that I need a cell phone for since we have no home phone. The $99 Moto E would be perfect for them.
I also am excited to have found your site! Looks like your info is right up my alley. Just subscribed to your newsletter. Looking forward to saving some money with your help.
cuz I need a new one. Pretty please.
My wife… To convince her that she can quit paying VZW for her iPhone :)
I would give it to my mom. She needs a cheaper smartphone and plan.
Need a phone for my children. Ages 13, 10 and 5.
I’d keep it! I’m currently on metro pcs, so I’m no stranger to the no contract world, but republic is MUCH cheaper! It would take a few months for the phone purchase to pay for itself, so I’ve been hesitating. A free phone would take exactly no time to pay for itself and would save me hours of convincing my husband…so, yes, I’d keep it.
I would give this phone to my brother because he is the only one that doesn’t have a phone in the family and he loves Android phones so much:) and he needs it to communicate with us when he goes to high school next year:)
Thank you for helping others save money!
If I were to be blessed with this phone, I’d give it to the love of my life, my wife. Her phone is old and we’ve been pondering Republic…
thank you
I need a phone because mine is outdated.
I would give it to my son because:
1. Motorola is dependable.
2. Republic is a great company!
3. I love NO contracts!
I would give it to my girlfriend who is overseas, than we can text and call each other back and for for free!!
I’d like to enter! I’d give it to my wife, to replace her Defy XT.
I would love this phone. I need to downsize on everything, and I was looking into Republic. This is perfect. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
I’ve been with RW for two years. And during that time, I’ve had the Moto Defy XT. It’s a tough little sucker. But as smartphones go, the Defy isn’t exactly gifted. I can’t download apps–even though I’ve deleted everything it will allow me to delete. If I open Navigation, the phone shuts down. I love my RW service, but I need a new device.
My mom needs a new phone. She has a Tracfone. The service is okay but their phones are crappy.
hi everyone
i am a very big fan of republic wireless and am one of their first customers to get moto x .i love their service and i would love to give the new moto E to my mom if i get it in the giveaway because i love family
Need a new Republic phone for myself, since I’m still using the LG Optimus S. It’s old and sad.
Republic Wireless would save me $600 a year! If I were to win I would keep one & give the other one to my twin brother! We would save a total of $1200 a year!
I would give the phone to my wife for Christmas
Wow – There are so many people that could use this, it would be hard to decide…my husband, who still uses his flip phone? My daughter, who goes phone-less because the phones I’ll buy aren’t cool enough for her (nah, probably not. No need to reward that type of behavior.) My mother, who needs to lower her bills? My sister, who needs to be broken of her iPhone habit? It’s a hard decision, but I’ll make it somehow if I win :)
Thanks to Republic Wireless and J$!
I’d love to give the phone to my wife because she is wasting 720$ a year on Verizon! isn’t that just mind-blowing?! I’m a Republic Wireless customer for the past 9 months, and I just don’t understand how other people stay with their providers. I used to have a verizon phone before and switching to RW proved to improve my mobile experience in every parameter needed (well, really just the price and the better signal because of wi-fi :). Please help get my wife off Verizon!
I would give it to my wife to save her from an iPhone and the expensive data plan.
I’d give it to my mom, finally get rid of her old flip phone.
I`d give it to my son, he`s handicapped and goes to community college he needs it, he has a Obama phone which works like crap When it works. I would use the other one, being on a fixed income, it would be great.
I’d keep it for myself so I can upgrade from my Nokia flip phone.
I would get one for my daughter. She is a stay at home mom who has two kids four and under and hasn’t gotten a new phone in about seven years.and is long overdue. We switched to Republic Wireless here and we love the difference in our phone bill now. I know she wold love to save that money every month too.
My 11 year old son has been DYING for a phone, but I refused to since it seems like it is so unnecessary at his age. However, his 10 year old ipod (yes, I believe it is that old since it was a hand me down from his 21 year old sister) has seen better times and I was planning on getting him a new one for Christmas anyway. Now with the phones and plans from Republic being so reasonable, it seems like this is a better replacement as a Christmas gift, as well as making his mother get a little better up with the modern times. :) Love, love, love your blog, and the hip “common sense” you promote! Keep it up!
I love these Moto phones and the fact that this phone has an expandable slot. This would be a fun phone to win.
I am hoping to get this one to replace my broken moto g!
My new husband would get the phone. He was just diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer at age 47 and one round of chemo nearly killed him so now any quality of life is down the pooper for him.
With this phone (and the one I am getting today) at least we can communicate when I am at work and I can text him encouraging things to brighten his crud filled days, and hope he gets a bit better soon!
I would give the phone to my twin brother. Him and I have been looking for jobs for the past year and we live in a small town. I was able to get a babysitting job to afford to by my moto g. With this phone I’ve gotten so many interviews and job offers because I can stay on top of things and on job apps. Having a phonenis important if you ever want tp get a job now because calling back after an interview is key. My brother needs a phone but we don’t have enough money to pay up front only monthly. So if i were to win this phone it would go in good hands and a protective case he’s not going to break that phone.
I’d love to win those phones so I could give them to my daughter whom had been attending her after school programs so she could contact me and letting me know she’s ready for me to pick her up. And also for my wife whose her phone service nearly broke up our family budget! Her phone bill racked up to almost 85 dollars a month when I only paid mine for 10 dollars!
I would give it to my son. I am already a happy Republic Wireless customer. Super pricing and I have been getting some family members to sign up.
I am currently a Republic Wireless customer and absolutely love the service. It’s just what I needed at a cost that I feel comfortable paying for phone service. If I won the phone I would give it to a teenager that I know that was kicked out of his house by his parents. He doesn’t have much of anything and a phone would be a help.
I would give the phone to my Sister-in-law who would like a new phone. They are looking to spend as little as possible, but want to pay less than 10 cents per minute they currently do on T-Mobile prepaid. While I believe the Moto-G is a better phone for most people this would certainly be better than the flip phone we gave them a few years ago (which stopped working a while ago).
I would give the phone to my daughter. She had a republic wireless phone and it got stolen. Can’t afford to replace it but would love to give her one. She doesn’t get much so this helps her feel good about herself.
I would love to be able to give this phone to my wife. She has been using an older iphone for the last year or two but it is beginning to show it’s age. Also, as she has gotten older, her eyes aren’t what they used to be and the small screen of the iphone 4 is beginning to make it difficult for her to view at all times. The bigger screen and newest Android software would be a big boost for her cell phone experience. As a mother of 6 children, she spends a lot of time on her phone keeping up with all that is going on in our family. The Moto e and Republic Wireless service would greatly increase her cell phone capabilities while lower the family budget expenditures. Thanks for the chance to win!
I already have RW phone but would love to win one for my son. He’s 12 and has been bugging us to death for a phone. I know he’d love the moto e. We have been so pleased with the phones and RW service.
J. Money is right, Republic Wireless is seriously amazing!
I’d give it to my wife.
I have three daughters. Two are old enough that I have been wanting to get them a simple phone to keep in touch with friends and family. These would be perfect!!! It would also free mine and my wife’s phones from their grip!! LOL We have been using Republic for about 5-6 months now and are loving it!!
Would love to win this for myself!!! We’re on the family plan with AT&T right now, and my line is eligible for an upgrade in December…$280 a month for 4 smartphones makes me ill.
I’m subscribed! :)
I would give the phone to my mother-in-law. She needs it!
I would give it to my son to have when he’s home by himself.
I would give the phone to my husband. We use Airvoice Wireless which is a similar service but he is using an iPhone 3 and it’s on it’s last leg. I am interested in trying out Republic.
I am a huge fan of Republic Wireless, and I try hard to get others to join in on the fun.
My husband has yet to be enlightened by the awesomeness of Republic Wireless, because his 8+yr non-smart cell phone still works, even thoug the numbers are no longer visible on the keypad. He won’t buy anything new until his clunker dies. That said, if we won a free one…
Thanks for promoting Republic Wireless. It really is worth the hype.
I’d like to give the phone to myself. I want to test this phone intensively so I can monitor the roaming function for republic wireless and rw roaming partner. At work, sprint is kind of weak and I need to make sure this phone can roam voice call, send texg, mmc properly. i have tested ting and ringplus. I have not have the opportunity to test republic wireless.
My grandmother needs a new phone. She has a “dumb phone”. She text a lot because she has trouble hearing, so a smart phone would make her life easier! Plus she loves to take pictures :)
I always wants to get a phone for my family member ( 4) but could not due to high price, I really want to try out the service for a few months, I was particularly interest in 10.00 plan which provide talk & text. By winning this I can make my dream comes true
Whoop. Love this service, I have the moto x myself and I like paying 25 bucks a month for what you would pay 50 or more from another carrier. I would give one to my parents and get them off their other service provider to save them money.
My number one bro because he’s the most frugal douche that I know haha
I would give the moto e to my oldest son, he’s been using the RW Defy XT for about a year with no complaints and would appreciate the upgrade.
Just subscribed.. :) I would love to give my youngest son the phone. His older brother has one (Moto E phone) and he gets left last quite often when purchasing new electronics. He is so smart and makes straight A’s in school. I couldn’t afford to get him a phone, even tho the monthly rates at Republic are very affordable. It would be great to give him a surprise like his very own phone.
I’ve been waiting for 2 months to switch to Republic Wireless with my wife ever since we read about it. My dad actually bought the moto x, decided he’s too much of an I phone junkie, and gave me his. With this one you’re giving away, my wife and I can safely cancel our current contacts since we won’t have the upfront costs of the smart phones anymore! Plus, we’ll give you two referrals for 40 bucks off. How’s THAT for frugal? ;)
My wife currently has RW and has been very happy. I would like to use RW as well because every dollar we save keeps her home with our kids. Thanks for the chance to win and the great information you provide!
Wow, this would be a dream come true! I have been eyeballing this company for several months now. So if I won this phone, it would save me money, time and the energy I’ve have been putting into researching about it, thanks J. Money for paying it forward.
Were I to win this fantastic give-away, I would personally use the phone. I am a college student who has not had any sort of phone. When I go to, say, the doctor’s office, or when a friend asks for my number, I respond that I do not have a phone. First of all, it is funny how people just take it for granted that everyone has a phone and they just ask for your number and not if you have one. Secondly, they do not believe me when I tell them that I don’t have one! I just get incredulous stares and “Oh, really?” ‘s as responses usually followed by “Well, how am I supposed to contact you?” like them needing to contact me will magically make me have a phone.
Also, What If I run into a bigfoot or see something awesome and once-in-a-lifetime? Imagine the publicity for our good friends at republic wireless when I capture it on their phone!
Beyond that, I live in a pretty rough neighborhood. I try not to go out so much at night, but sometimes I have to. It would just be great to have the added protection factor of being able to contact someone if I needed to, because right now, I am on my own when walking alone.
In short, it would really be a huge convenience factor for me to get my first phone, and I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to start of my phone journey with this deal!
Haha… you crack me up man. YOU’RE like a big foot w/ not having a phone these days ;)
I’ll just be honest… I’d definitely keep it for myself.
Thanks J. Money! Just signed up for the newsletter. I would keep the phone for me, I am on Ting and we just signed my wife up for RW and I would like to switch too but don’t want to spend the money on a new phone.
I subscribed, and I’ve been with Republic Wireless for three years now, its been awesome.
If I win, I’d give the phone to my friend, his birthday is today and he’s been using month-to-month service phones that cost twice as much and have way less features than the Moto-E.
I’d give it to my daughter. We just recently moved away from home and she is missing our friends and family. It would be nice for her to be able to keep in touch.
I’d give this to my wife, as she is just now done with her 2 year contract (aka, indenture) with Verizon. We are all about saving money and it drives us crazy that when our phones are paid off (after two years) our phone bill stays the same!
If I won this phone, I’d give it to my wife, who currently doesn’t have a mobile line. Thanks so much!
I would give the phone to one of my good friends who’s in need of a cheap phone that works good.
I’ll be happy to give it to my Lovely Wife. I found this post because I’m home sick today and she’s taking such good care of me. I like your posts because of their honesty. (Plus, it’s amazing how frugal I have to be as a cop.) Thank you for the opportunity!
i would give one to my mom and grandmother as an early christmas present. they still have flip phone with data plan pls help. thx you… also to play Words with Friends they love that app. they always use my phone to play it.
I would give it to my wonderful wife. I switched my phone over to Republic in August in order to test it out. This would be the perfect way to switch her over as well.
My wife is still rocking the old Defy XT. She really needs a new phone!
I would love to try out RW, because my AT&T contract is up in 2 months!! If it works well, I could sweet-talk my hubby into switching over, too!
I would give the phone to my parents who overpay for Verizon flip-phones every month.
With a family of nine children we have survived by watching our expenses and budgeting. My husband and I have had our motoG and motoX for about two months and have saved a ton over Verizon already. I would like to win a phone to give as a well-deserved birthday present for my 15 yr old son…
If I won one I’d first give it to the wife. She could drop her old phone off her Sprint plan and start saving. Ideally I’d like to get our 2 eldest kids either Moto E or G’s and the wife and I Moto X’s. We currently pay $120’ish for our phones and could drop it down to $70 with 4 lines. Only reason we don’t is the cost of entry,
I’d give it to me. For some reason we can’t figure out, my current phone won’t connect to the work wifi, and that’s what’s keeping me from a cheaper plan. I can get wifi just about everywhere else.
I want a Moto E, for myself. My Motorolla Defy XT has gotten very out-dated, but I would like to stay with Republic Wireless; bucause hey… budgets ARE sexy!
I’d give it to my teen daughter to prepare her for her upcoming promotion in mobility and still save $. We love Republic Wireless!
Congrats on getting so many visitors and comments. My whole family has RW except for my dad, so this one would go to him. I’m convinced if he could carry a rotary phone or walkie talkie he would.
I would love to win this to give to my son who currently pays $300 plus monthly for his family plan through Verizon. It would be great to get the whole family to transfer to RW. I’ve had RW since it was in beta and it has come a long way – I definitely wouldn’t switch back to any of the other carriers – RW is great!!!
I would give this to my wife. I am a Republic Wireless customer and have been saving for almost 6 months now. She is ready for a new phone because hers is almost dead and I would love to have her join the Republic.
Republic Wireless seems like a wonderful service! I’ve been looking at it for awhile now, but putting down a big chunk of cash up front for the X or G was a bit difficult for me financially. The news of the new Moto E actually gives me a chance to fit it within my upcoming budget. Reducing my cell phone bill to $10 dollars a month would be a Godsend for me; Winning a Motorola Moto E with three months free full service would give me a chance to catch my breath with my bills and would make a huge difference in my life.
Thank you for considering me, J. Money and the Budgets Are Sexy staff.
Sincerely,
— Brian
If I was lucky enough to win the new phone from Republic Wireless, I’d give it to my 14 year old son. this is his birthday month and with a soldier father and a volunteering and community involved and development mom – it would be such a blessing! My husband and I both switched to Republic Wireless at the beginning of this year and have loved the service!!!
I have had Republic Wireless since March 2014 and I absolutely love it! They have great phones and plans that I can actually afford! I would love to be able to give a phone to my Mom, so she can experience the great savings and we can share more moments!
I would LOVE one for myself been thinking of trying republic wireless but really can’t afford a phone right now. Would be great to win one and start a plan rolling!
I would probably keep this since I’ve been wanting a Republic Wireless phone.
Signed up for your newsletter.
If I would be lucky enough to win it, I would use it for myself. My old LG Motion is on its last legs, and it would be great to have a free replacement phone!
My oldest daughter has the Moto G, and has been happy with Republic Wireless. If I won, I would give the Moto E to my middle child. I’m waiting for RW to get the new 2014 Moto X, before switching over. Probably have another 3 – 5 months of waiting.
Republic Wireless’s Moto X was my first smartphone, and I absolutely love it. The biggest reason I stuck with dumbphones up until 2 months ago is because I didn’t want to pay (out the nose) for services like cellular data that I wasn’t going to use. Republic lets me have all the advantages of a smartphone with none of the added baggage.
I have a friend who has a old Blackberry knockoff from Tracphone. She’s constantly forgetting to re-up her prepaid minutes, and letting airtime expire. Unlimited minutes from Republic Wireless’s Moto E would make her cellular life a whole lot simpler, not to mention save her money every month.
I would give the phone to my oldest daughter. I have been contemplating using Republic Wireless for all of my kids as well as myself. But have just heard of them and been doing a little research. We currently have Sprint but for four phones (non-of which has internet capabilities) we are paying a fortune. I do need to upgrade all four phones soon and ad yet another. If we were to get this phone my daughter could try it out and we could see if it is worth the switch for us all.
I’d give it to my wife because I sat on her Republic Wireless Moto G and broke the screen. We just had our 2nd baby so apparently I’ve added on a bit more baby weight than I’d like to admit to….
I’ve been getting your posts emailed to me for a month or so now and I love reading them! You have a great writing style :) I would give the phone to me because I want to switch carriers and I have been reading about Republic Wireless for a while now. I’m with Verizon and I pay $88 per month plus another $10 if I go over my data which I often do. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Been looking at RW for a while now. I’d give One to myself and one to my wife!
I’d like to give one to my mom, who does not have her own phone and has been sharing one with my dad to save on monthly expenses. Republic Wireless finally seems like an affordable cellular solution!
I’d keep it for me, my phone bill is crazy $180/month, but im on contract. If i wasn’t paying my phone bill i could afford to go to RW but i’m stuck. So I would love to have one, then I could sell my verizon phone and pay off the early cancel fee. ahhh to dream
I’d give it to ME, we are relocating, and im Dumping US Cellular anyway.
Hey I signed up for your newsletter with my personal email address. No clue why I wasn’t signed up before!
I’d give the phone to… my readers! They deserve a free phone :) Nothing like giving away a giveaway prize won :)
I’d keep the phone for myself. I have been looking into Republic for about 6 months now but it’s been more reasonable for me to continue my service with Verizon at $70/month that I am no longer under contract for then to spend $300 on a phone all at once. I’ve been trying to save but the budget is tight (thanks in very large part to reading your blog for about a year now) and I would REALLY like to put the extra funds I’d save towards getting rid of some of my last bit of debt that’s been lingering for too long.
I would give it to my sister, I already have one but she needs to be convinced, and off of my parents plan.
I would give it to my daughter who is taking care of a sick baby, babysitting a young man who has mental and physical disability and her own 9 yr old who was recently diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and other kearning disability. She Is the only provider for her family and us having a hard time. I gave her my lg phone from republic and pay her bill for her.phone I just to old to work well out in the country. It would be nice to win her one.
I would give one to my mom, because she loves Angry Birds and cannot play it on her current phone. Plus, she’s mom.
I would love to get this phone and try out Republic. Others I know have switched and love it but I am hesitant to take the plunge. It would be my first smart phone. I also signed up for the newsletter!
I would give this phone to my husband. He doesn’t absolutely need one, but he works so hard for our family… I would love to surprise him. I have the Moto X and he has the defy. Thank you for your consideration.
I would give the Moto G to my son who is 10 years old. He walks to and from school 1/2 mile each way and is a safety patrol. He needs to call me when he gets home from school as he is alone at home until I get there mostly for 3 hours a day.
I recently switched to Rebublic Wireless and cut out Verizon. Republic Wireless has been fantastic. And I LOVE the price. If I got this phone I would give it to my wife so she can cut out Verizon and save me, I mean us, even MORE $$$$$$!!!!!
For Myself. Because I need a phone and can’t afford to buy one.
I’d give it to my wife. Her’s is falling apart.
I would give one to my brother. The reason behind this is because i had previously given him my old htc one from virgin mobile but was destroyed in his pocket when a truck slammed into the side of the car he was driving. Thankfully the doctor told him that was probably the only thing that save his leg from snapping in multiple places. It would be a great replacement for the phone that save his leg and even maybe his life.
I would give it to my teenage daughter. She needs a phone to call me to pick her up at school after sports, but we just can’t afford to pay for a monthly plan for her. If we had the phone for free, we could definitely handle $10/month!
I have been following Republic Wireless since they were in Beta with a horrible moto defy phone. Due to the area I lived in not having good coverage by Republic Wireless I decided to not join. Last year when the MOTO X and MOTO G were release I got excited and decided I wanted to join Republic Wireless as soon as I could afford the phone. Instead my wife who never had heard of Republic Wireless got a MOTO G and loves it.
If I received this phone I would keep it for myself to use and would be VERY happy. I can’t afford a normal phone bill due to the cost and I now live in an area where Republic Wireless picks up perfectly! Thanks for offering the chance to allow people to win an awesome phone!
I’d give it too my girlfriend. Her current contract is expiring soon and her phone has been through a few repairs and is on its second owner.
I am selfish i would give this to me! don’t judge.
We just recently dropped our home phone coverage so this would make a great option and my daughter who is wanting a cell phone could also use it.
I would give it to my parents so they can call me anytime they miss me and vice versa.
I would love one for myself for my new business. It would be a great way to start off the “biz” with its own phone number etc.
I am in the Raleigh area and have heard lots of good things about RW in this area and would love to try them out!
I all reality, if I were to receive one of these phones, I would keep it, not in a sense of being greedy but that the value of it and how much it’ll save me strikes the reason for my answer. With college coming up soon, and knowing that my parents won’t help me pay for college, I’m gonna have to tackle student bills, my car insurance, and also a phone bill. Like all students, I don’t want to struggle in college, so a nice phone with cheap phone plans would be ideal. Whoever wins these phones, I know they will benefit from your generosity. Thank you for your time.
I would give this phone to my good friend, Jesse. He’s a very hard working guy, awesome friend, and he really, really deserves a good phone. Right now he uses a pay-as-you-go blackberry phone from virgin or some other carrier, and it frustrates him and costs as much or more than republic. It would be so cool to give him a moto e! I have the moto g, as does my girlfriend, and we’re happy with republic! Thanks for the opportunity! :)
I would give the phone to my wife. We recently downgraded from Verizon to T-Mobile for her phone because of the cheaper plan, but if we can go a step further I’m all in!
I would give it to my wife so she can finally get rid of that flip-phone!
I would give it to myself and share it w/ my husband to convince him to get one too. Thank you!
Thanks for all the wonderful budgeting tips! I love this!
Oh, and I’d give the phone to my teenager because the monthly bill would be worth the young ones having better communication!
This isn’t the typical warm fuzzy response, but I would keep it for myself! My boyfriend recently made the switch from Verizon and just raves. This will save me from having to buy one next week! **crosses fingers**
I would love a Moto E to give to my wife for Christmas… she has their Defy XT plan. The problem is phone calls can be problematic (but data and texting are fine) and she likes to call her mom (who has pancreatic cancer) and update her on our newborn son. But dropped calls are an annoyance to her and her mom and I heard the Republic Wireless has fixed the problems with their new phones!
I’d like to give one to myself because the one I have gets sooo hot that you can fry an egg on it, toast some toast and percolate some coffee… (the defy XT) it’s time for an upgrade/ heads up!
Couldn’t agree more about Republic. Just tried them out and will be switching from Verizon. I would gladly help out a couple of guys I work with the Moto E phones if we got them. Thank you.
i would give the phone to my parents. They pay way to much for a plan they are on and need a simple phone and one that is budget friendly.
I’d give the phone to my mom. I’ve been following RW since they were in alpha, and I was lucky enough to get an invite to their beta. Unfortunately at the time I was to broke to buy the phone. Finally took the plunge about 6 months ago and never plan on going back. I’m on the 3g plan which after taxes and whatnot come to a few cents short of $30 a month. I’ve been trying to convert my parents to the Republic for awhile now since it would cut their phone bill in half, but they are worried about coverage, so a free phone and free 3 months to try it would be just what they need. By the way posting this from my RW Moto G!
I would give it to myself to replace my Samsung convoy flip phone. yikes….I am totally out of the tech loop!
Would love to win the Moto E and let my son have it.
My family would love to have a Moto E as a home phone for my sisters so we could have a phone to leave with them, and this would save us from having to buy a Moto E when the rest of the family switches over. :)
I’d give,the moto E to my mom,me n bf started 3 months ago with Republic wireless,its the best thing we’ve done,moms on fixed income and so am I was trying to save up to get her one for xmas
Would LOVE to try to win one of these for my daughter… she’s NOT well off, and has been trying so hard in life to keep up with everyone else…would make a excellent Xmas gift…I would be Dad of the year…and for many more years to come.
I love my Moto X with Republic Wireless! I made the leap without any friends or family having even heard of them yet alone being able to vouch. It took me almost a year to decide to take a leap and pay more for a phone than I ever have because I knew that if the service was good, I’d save money in a year easily, and after a year, incredibly. It paid off! I’m happier than I have been with any other carrier and I’ve had 5 others before Republic. I like pointing out to people that I can make calls inside of office buildings and stores where other people can’t just by getting on the wifi. I think my reception at home is better than any cell towers could provide (I’ve always had terrible reception where I live but it’s not an issue now.)
Anyway, I’m a low income individual and my parents are on social security now. They need the most affordable cell phones and plans they can possibly get. They just don’t think they can justify the cost of the phones. I know winning one of these would really help their budget and have them both make the move. Getting a phone for free would really help my family out so I hope we win!
I give the phone to myself because my phone isn’t working well and I want to save money on my phone bill. Currently, my mom still pays for my phone but she recently changed over to republic wireless and likes it. I would like to take over my own phone plan to save my mom the $50 that she has been paying a month for my straighttalk plan.
Uh, My Wife says she wants me to have one to help us stay on budget. Yep, I have a very a loving Wife that I adore very much. Thank you for entering me Dear.
Hey J. Money!
As always, thanks for the great and informative articles. Because of your previous article about Republic Wireless, I have since swapped over the the Republic nation! I am loving every minute of it – the savings are great, and the service is nothing short of my experience with other carriers.
If I were to win this giveaway, I would give the phone to my lovely wife. My hope was to switch my plan to Republic, and prove to her that the service was worth the savings in my monthly bill (I mentioned previously how me switching to Republic cut our bill from ~$160 to ~$80/month.) This phone would be a great gift to her, and would allow her to begin trying out the Republic service herself in order to help her switch over and save us more $$.
Keep the great articles (and giveaways) coming!
I would like a phone for me! My flip phone is dying!
Signed up for newsletter
I would give the phone to my self as I currently use a landline and google voice but my system has some downfalls like needing to be home or at a comp
This phone is perfect for my daughter. She can call and text and I don’t have to pay for data!
Thank you for the opportunity to win a free phone+service. I would give the phone to my son.
I would keep it for personal use. Time to leave the 2 year contracts and iPhone behind.
Thanks!
I would give it to my mother. She needs a phone for her business. The plan being inexpensive is an added bonus.
I would give it to my mother. She has an old flip phone that is starting to give out. This would be an awesome gift to her!
I signed up for the newsletter. Thanks for the site and the giveaway. I found you from Republic’s page when researching new phone service. I love my hybrid car so I want a hybrid phone!
While I would like to keep one for myself, I most likely would give them to my 2 kids that do not have cell phones at this time so we can all be in touch. They won’t need 4G so the $10 or $25 plans would work great.
I would give it to my son, we haven’t switched over to republic wireless yet but plan to and this would push me over the edge, I’d have to get 3 more, but the savings would be worth it if it’s as good as I’m hearing about!!
I’d give the phone to my brother. He’s thinking about switching to Republic, but can’t make up his mind. We love their service!
If I were to win this, it would go to my son so that we could communicate with him on scouting trips.
I would give the phone to my daughter , Im a single dad and its hard keeping track of a 10yr powerhouse
I could really use one of these phones to help keep in touch with my daughter. She goes to a high school that’s over 30 miles away and it would be nice to know when she misses the bus or already has a ride.
I’d give it to my cousin. He has a walker and sometimes he falls down. I’d like him to be able to call for help.
Would love to snag this, been watching republic for a while just haven’t been able to pull the trigger.
I would give it to myself to use as our home phone. 5$ per month for WiFi calling is just super.
Please announce me as one of the winners. Even on EBay the prices are too much!
I would keep the phone for myself. I currently have a flip phone and it’s time for an upgrade without spending too much money
I would keep the phone for myself so I could put more money into savings every month.
I would give it to my wife to replace the Tracfone she has used for years. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

I need that phone.
I NEED IT!
I’d keep the phone for myself, as part of my goal to save at least half of what I earn.
I would keep the phone for myself. It would be a wonderful gift to have at this time.
I’m not sure who I would give them to. I work with a college ministry so I have plenty of people that would make great use of it!
I would keep it for myself :) As a stay at home mom I’m always looking to save money and would love to try out RW! Plus I could give my iPhone to my mom who is really wanting a smart phone to use with her current provider :D
I would keep the phone for myself to try out to see if I can save even more money than Ting!
I would love to break my contract and have a less expensive phone bill! Why? Because life is too expensive when you are a single mom. I’m trying to pay down debt, save for retirement & a college education.
In all honesty I’d give it to myself. I’m out of work right now, and I’ve been without a cell phone (service) for a little over a month. It’s pretty awful & scary being out and about without one!
Thanks!
I would, ahem give it to myself. We live in a somewhat rural area so I’d love to be able to check out how the RW service actually works where we live without dropping my own cash on a new phone. After all, it’s always better to use someone else’s money if you can :)
Also, you said “cheap as balls” which made me snicker out loud in my currently super quiet office.
I’m a HUGE fan of Republic Wireless, which I stumbled across based on reviews like yours around the ‘Net. I’ve had a Defy XT for a year that’s been a great phone, and totally worth it’s price, but still in the dark ages compared to a Moto E I’ve had the opportunity to play around with a few days ago. It’s gorgeous, handles everything I need it to, and has the expandable storage in a lower-end phone (I judge based on megapixel count!) to handle everything I need. My friends would hope I don’t win this so I stay quiet about Republic Wireless for at least a week, and let them pay their high cell phone bills in peace for a bit :)
I was already subscribed to your newsletter when I saw this post in my email, but clicked through to the mattress giveaway you mentioned on Rockstar Finance to read about Tuft & Needle before subscribing to your updates there because the content is just what I want– few blogs out there are as consistently valuable as yours, and it’s too much work to dig through some relative dirt to find the gems in other places.
Here’s hoping for a new Moto E!
I would give it to myself. Right now I have a phone that is going on five years old. It is one of those ones that slide out to reveal the keyboard (so cool!!!). But I have been meaning to get on the smart phone bandwagon as there have definitely been times when I kicked myself for not having one.
I’ve been researching RW for about a month, and it all sounds great. I think I’m finally ready to give up my RAZR flip phone (yes, I’m still using one of those!) and take the plunge into smartphone land.
I would choose it for myself. I could really use one. I have heard that the service and price is great and unbeatable. I would love it for those reasons and more.
I’d give it to my son, who is 13 and rides his bike home from school most days. His current phone isn’t as reliable as I would like.
my mother in law and father and law changed to public wireless and i would love to try and use it
I would keep this phone for myself. My smart phone has a cracked screen and I am too thrifty to do anything about it over the 4 weeks until I am eligible for an upgrade. We are currently paying quite a bit for cell phone service and I’d love to save some money.
I’d give it to myself or my wife, our cell phone bill with Verizon and 2 iPhones are 200 + (OUCH)! Going to have to get out of this cycle.
I would love to win the phone! I switched to Republic a few months ago and I’d like to add my son to my plan so I would give it to him!
My family is beginning to switch off of Verizon to begin the migrate to Republic Wireless, However, Purchasing 6 smartphones for the family is expensive and this would help out! I would give this phone to my mother!
I would give my phone to my husband. He’s the pastor of our church. He’s had to sacrifice so much this past year to make sure our family has had everything we’ve needed. That included selling his iPhone. He travels over an hour one way to his job and does so without a cellphone. That is who I’d give the cellphone too, to thank him for all he’s done for our family.
Thank you for allowing me to enter.
Sincerely,
Laraine Butler
This might be the phone and the plan that causes me to get rid of my 6 year old flip phone. If you choose me that is. =)
I recently switched to RW & they are the bomb diggity! Would love to give these two phones to my cousin and her mom because they deserve an affordable cell service.
I’d give the Moto E to my daughter, whose ripoff Verizon contract is about to expire!
Everyone who’s been here already knows the awesomeness of Republic Wireless, so don’t let me add to the deafening praise. ;) I’m helping a friend in need to give one to his mother-in-law, who in turn needs every bit of support she can get.
I would like to win a phone for well, myself. I was about to sign up with RW but have some reservations about spending the dough on my ETF with Verizon. I work with adults with disabilities and LOVE it but I barely make enough to cover my bills. Please help me and my mother (she helps me pay my cell phone bill and car insurance)!
I would give it to My Husband! He has never had a smart phone and wants one.
He would give up his Verizon Flip phone and their service and come into this century
In all honesty, I would keep it for myself.
My wife and I are already on republic wireless. I used the $25 plan and my wife uses the $10 plan for a total of $35 before taxes. We used to pay about $100 more than that on Verizon for one smart phone with 500mb of data and a flip phone.
I use google maps a lot for work, and we really can’t afford most of the phone services out there. We both got the MotoX for christmas.
Unfortunately, I dropped my MotoX a couple of months ago and the screen shattered. I can still use the voice activation and get audible turn-by-turn directions, but I could really use a phone with a functional screen again.
We’ve been saving up to replace it, but it takes time. Tight budget, and mouths to feed trump a replacement phone.
Winning one … that would be awesome.
I would definitely keep if for myself! My husband and I have been checking them out for a couple weeks and have been talking about how we can work the cost of the phone into our budget!! Would love to win!
I would definitely give 1 to myself and then switch over to RW from Tmobile. Would save $100/month.
The other I would give to my dog as a chewtoy.
Definitely would give one to my Mother in law, she loves the idea of saving $$ and wants to switch to RW.
This is perfect timing! I’ve been obsessively researching low cost carriers and my contract is up next month. So, I’d keep one for myself and give the other to my sister-in-law who is using a flip phone with a broken keyboard, and no internet. Poor thing! Smart phones are every mom’s best friend and most useful tool. Fingers crossed!
I would like to give one to my son. He bikes to school and would like for him to have a phone to let me know he made it safely there and back home and to have in case of an emergency. Thanks!
I would give the phone to myself: it’s my birthday soon! We’ve been using Republic Wireless for my daughter for about a month now, and we love their service. I’m definitely switching next month and need a phone. It’ll be nice to have a real smartphone instead of my only-slightly-better-than-tin-can-and-string dumb phone.
I have been meaning to switch my husbands phone to republic as we are currently on the sprint network. Kind of feels like a no brainer to me.
I would give it to my daughter. I am working on getting off of AT&T because as a single mother, wasting money in any way, shape or form is just not an option. Unfortunately, my phone is in contract with them but my daughter’s phone is not. I want to switch her over to Republic Wireless but can’t afford the $99 for a phone, especially this time of year. And if my 14 year old daughter is happy with Republic Wireless, then I know I will be happy with it and switch over once my contract is up.
I’d keep it for me for now as a proof of concept of RW to get my wife on board with saving serous money each month on RW. I’d probably then have to give it to her so I could….test out the Moto X for myself lol
I’d have to use the Moto E myself for awhile. It is promoted as a “flip-phone killer” and may be hazardous to share with my in-laws until I have been trained in its care and feeding.
Looking forward to winning this phone/service to break away from the Verizon stranglehold on my family. There are lots of us and we need to be able to actually afford using the devices!
As so many others in these hard times, I am needing a budget conscious cell phone and service. I would use the phone for myself as I have heard wonderful things from 4 other family members who are already using Republic Wireless and love their moto phones. please please please.. I hope this contest is still going on.
***Giveaway now over***
Thanks for participating everyone! The two lucky winners of a free Moto E phone AND three months of free service are….. bum bum bum…
1) Crystal Resendiz
2) Yvette (commenter #463)
Congrats guys! For those who didn’t win, fortunately the phone and service isn’t that expensive so def. consider giving Republic Wireless a shot ;)
i’d give the smartphone to my girlfriend — we’re actually on republic, but signed up before the moto X was released — so we both have the defy XT. it’s not as good a phone (stuck on android 2.3, under 512mb of internal storage, and a bit on the slow side, not to mention a weak camera) so i would love to get a better one! been on republic just over a year.
I’d keep the Moto E for myself so I could try out the republic wireless service.
