From the very start of Republic Wireless, our members have been asking us for a $99 smartphone option. Not just an affordable phone, but one with more features. More capabilities. More smartphone. And we tend to agree. We think people can have power and performance at an affordable price without compromise. So we kept looking until we found the phone that gives you all the joys of a smartphone, but is priced for all. A phone that is great for kids, or other folks in the family as their first smartphone. A phone that can act as a great home phone replacement with our $5/month plan. Today, we’re very excited to announce the new Moto E is coming to Republic Wireless next month. This isn’t an iPhone killer. It’s a flip phone killer.

 

Moto E_Black.jpgMoto E is priced just right when combined with the most affordable WiFi + Cell coverage available, just $99 for the phone and monthly plans at $5, $10, or $25/month. So say “bye bye” to your old home phone or flip phone. It’s time to step into the world of smartphones and smart plans to go with it.

 

Our partners at Motorola did an impeccable job cramming as much power and performance as possible into the Moto E. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, is the addition of a microSD slot, good for expanding your smartphone’s memory up to 32GB, so you have plenty of room for all your music and pictures.  Or, listen to free music on the go with a built-in FM radio.

 

Many of Motorola’s “can’t live without them” features are back on the Moto E, like Moto Assist, which amazingly learns your routine, knows when you’re sleeping or in a meeting, and will silence your phone or let VIP callers through.  You can also move over all of your contacts from an iPhone or other Android device in mere minutes with Moto Migrate. Like the Moto G, the back of your Moto E also has interchangeable shells in an assortment of beautiful colors to really make it yours.

 

At just $99, and with a screen made out of super-durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass, the Moto E is an excellent flip phone replacement with polish and power at the right price.
