If ONLY they would pick up the Galaxy Note 3 (I have the 2), I’d switch. But I refused once, and I’ll refuse again to go back into the dark ages of old tech, which is what they are offering for hand sets. I like my handipad and will stick with them, upgrading to the Note 3 when it comes.

One word of caution on Republic. They do not support MMS (Picture Messaging) I agree that the MMS was the deal breaker for me also. I have 12 grand-kids living mostly in other states where I live. It is impossible to convince them and my employer that it is simple “for them ” to make changes because I wanted to remain with Republic. They must remember to send MMS to everyone else BUT me and then to go back and send me an email. Fat chance of that in this fast paced world. I purchased 3 cell phones at $250.00 and setup the accounts and within 30 to 45 days had all kinds of complaints about not answering text. It took me a couple of weeks to read through all the links to find out what my problem was. For a cell phone company that advertises that “You can do anything with our phones that the Big Boys” can do is false. At the time I purchased all the phones they were advertising that they were working on the problem and would have it working in a few months….. Just bologna to keep everyone hanging on for a few more months. If RW did not want our business, those of us who constantly use MMS, they would have a disclaimer on their home page that says ” DOES NOT SUPPORT MMS AND NEVER INTEND TO FURNISH WHAT WE CONSIDER A DYING PART OF THIS INDUSTRY”. Yep frustrated with spending $1000.00 for my 3 paperweights for my desk.
