I've had RW for 6 years I've had RW for 6 years, and it's been great....until DISH bought them. Now REPUBLIC BY DISH SUCKS! After not being able to make outgoing calls and not being able to reach anyone. I called Consumer Cellular. Sadly, I believe DISH will tank RW and go bankrupt, at this rate.

Republic Wireless has been a fairly good company. Just watch out for system updates. I've had Republic Wireless going on almost 7 (~ 6½) years now. Republic Wireless has been a wonderful for me since day 1! Automatic payments at decent prices. And while paying ~ $25 for 1 gig is a lot these days, I realize that about 6 ½ years ago, along with my Motorola G4, this has been a pretty great deal! The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 Star rating is because although I never had issues with my phone service stopping without me knowing it, Sadly when Republic Wireless was updated it's system from 4G to 5G, my Mom's service got cancelled! Not only this, but they also said that it might take up to 2 weeks to get it fixed. What?!!! 2 weeks?!!! 😮 Honestly, I can't remember if my Mom was able to get them to move the date up for giving her back her service or if she just decided right then to switch. Regardless, it's sad to see a once wonderful service boot off their customers accidentally and then insist that their customers wait for 2 full weeks. 😞 If this had Not happened to my Mom, I would easily give this 5 Stars. And as far as my phone and current plan is concerned, it's still holding up. I was fortunate enough to keep my service through this transitionary phase and my phone (Moto G4) Still miraculously works! Again, except for this recent hiccup, Republic Wireless has been a pretty good company (in my opinion). So I'm happy to give this a solid 4/5 Stars! 😊❤️ Thanks Republic Wireless.

Republic Wireless Not the Same After Being Bought By Dish My husband has been a Republic Wireless customer for many years with very few complaints. However, since the switch to Dish, he has been having problems accessing voicemail and has had to call and speak with a Dish/RW rep several times, always ending up speaking to a supervisor (some of whom are able to correct the problem, some who provide a work-around). I'm now researching other cell phone company plans and we will be switching. Too bad, we liked RW.

No cellular service REVISED ALLS GOOD I called Support today and the tech was able to help me reset some settings that fixed my connection issues. All's good now! I'm primarily connected to Wifi all day. Occasionally I see the voicemail icon. When I try to check it, I receive a message on screen that no Cellular network is connected. I have 0 bars unless I restart my the phone. I don't ever remember this happening the past 7+ years with Republic. If I make calls over wifi, why do I get this message. Going to give it a little time before I move to another provider.

Hate yourself? Join Republic Wireless! They cancelled my service in response to a port request and have been unwilling to fix it. They keep delaying the deadline and keep breaking promises for updates. This used to be a decent company, but now they just don't care. And, these days, they aren't even close to being a deal compared to their competitors. EDIT: And now they've replied with a canned request for me to call them. As though I haven't called multiple times before bothering to put out negative reviews. Good grief.
