New Carrier Offering Unlimited Smartphone Service For $19 A Month

Just $19 a month can get you unlimited calls, texts, and data for your smartphone and you don't have to sign a contract.

That's what the upstart carrier Republic Wireless is offering.

So, what's the catch?

The service uses Wi-Fi instead of a cell phone network.

So, any time you want to make a call or send a text, you need to be connected to Wi-Fi.

The company offers one phone and two plans-- available online only.
