This post brought to you by Republic Wireless. Learn about the Motorola Defy XT Smartphone. All opinions are 100% mine.
My son is nine and he’s already asking for a cell phone. WHAT? I didn’t get my first cell phone until I was 18 and went to college and the only reason I got it was because my mom was concerned with me driving to and from school every day. And even then it was supposed to stay off and in my glove box for emergencies only.
I can’t even imagine giving a nine year old a cell phone. Not only that, but the cost is also a huge factor. Without a doubt, I know that when my kids are ready for cell phones, they will need unlimited everything. I’ve heard horror stories of people who get their kid a cell phone that does not have unlimited texting or minutes and they end up with huge bills at the end of the month. With Republic Wireless you can get the Motorola Defy XT Smartphone that retails for $199. A little about the phone:
- Front facing VGA Webcam
- Rear-facing camera with auto focus/LED Flash
- 4x digital zoom
- Android operating system with wi-fi and Sprint 3G coverage with dual-band reception
- Over 450,00 apps through Google Play
- 3.7 inch Corning Gorilla glass display
- Dustproof, water and scratch resistant
Sounds pretty good, right? Well get this…if you get this phone through Republic Wireless your plan will cost you $19 per month. I’m serious! $19 a month! Theres a catch, right? Nope!! No catch. You get unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited web! All without a contract!
Republic Wireless offers this amazing rate because they are using new Hybrid Wi-Fi technology.
While I’m not sure if I am going to run out and buy this right now for my nine year old…I will consider it in two years when he starts middle school. It sure is a lot cheaper to get him this phone through Republic Wireless than it would be to add him to my current cell plan. Shoot…I’m thinking about canceling my plan and getting this plan for myself!!

Wowzers! Only $19 a month? Geez. I’m paying like 20x that with Verizon right now for a family plan. Totally need to look into this. Thanks!
