[Shop-talk] Cell Phone Signal Boosters

[Richard Beels]

you can if you use republic wireless. $19 a month for unlimited 
voice/text/data.  they want you to prefer wireless over cell (they 
buy in bulk from sprint) since providing the service over wifi is 
essentially free.  current phone is a motorola something running 
android.  some more phones coming out this summer.  wife has been 
running this for a year now and it's been great for her.

we both can get a free month if I refer you, if you (or anyone else) 
want.  no sweat if you don't.
