Fine Print
Customers must activate their SIM card by 5/30/18 at 11:59 pm EST or they'll lose the free month of service. Subscribers will be responsible for paying any federally mandated taxes and telecom fees. When Republic Wireless previously offered free service, taxes and telecom fees in my area amounted to $4.78/month for a similar plan.
The unlimited talk and text plan with 1GB of data normally costs $20/month. Those who want a plan with more data can still get a discount of $20 on their first month of service, however they'll have to pay for the additional data. Data is priced at $5/GB.
More About Republic Wireless And This Offer
Republic Wireless is a WiFi first provider that uses what it has called bonded or adaptive coverage calling to provide talk and text service to its subscribers. Customers who subscribe to Republic Wireless must first choose between T-Mobile and Sprint during their signup process. The chosen network will be used in conjunction with WiFi to provide service.
Republic Wireless has not stated which network this offer is good on. Some of the supported BYOD phone models can only be used on T-Mobile while others are also good on Sprint, so this offer is likely available on both networks.
When you are taken to the signup page, you will first see a $5 SIM card charge. The charge will disappear as you go through the checkout process.
