Last week we broke the news on a previously-stealthy mobile carrier called�Republic Wireless, which I've been tracking closely since. The story so far: Bandwidth.com, which provides the VoIP backbone for services including Google Voice and Twilio, is launching an alternative mobile carrier called Republic Wireless. As GigaOm reported last week, it will cost only $19 a month for unlimited text, data, and voice. It can offer these low rates because its phones use a special 'Hybrid Calling' system that relies on Wifi whenever possible, falling back to cellular connections when Wifi isn't available. The initial cellular partner is Sprint, but Republic is working to use other carriers as fallback options as well. Now the company has officially announced additional details about the service, which is launching November 8 (i.e., later today). The key new details: The first phone being offered by Republic Wireless ?�which users will need to buy in order to use the service ? is a modified version of The LG Optimus, running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/mrN8lt63UVs/
