Unlimited phone calling/data/message plan for $19/month???

A mobile phone with unlimited data for only $19/month with no contract!!?!?! It's Republic Wireless.

When you're within a wireless network, you'll use wifi instead of your mobile connection for data, voice, and messaging. They'll keep track of whether you're staying within their planned ratio of wifi vs mobile.
