Unlimited Smartphone from Republic Wireless Gets Even Better: New Republic Wireless Wi-Fi+ App Makes it Easier Than Ever to Log-into Public Wi-Fi Hotspots

/in , /by


Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) March 07, 2013

Republic Wireless, home of the Wi-Fi and cellular unlimited smartphone plan for as little as $ 19 a month, announces a new Android app, Republic Wireless Wi-Fi+. With Wi-Fi+, it’s easier than ever for members to check the strength and quality of a particular Wi-Fi connection and automatically log their phones on to more than 12 million public Wi-Fi hotspots around the world as curated by the hugely popular crowd sourced Devicescape solution.

“From day 1, Republic Wireless has strived to simplify the world of wireless and lower the costs of owning a smartphone for all consumers. To be able to provide talking, texting and unlimited data for just $ 19 a month, our model relies on members to use Wi-Fi whenever possible,” said David Morken, co-founder and president of Bandwidth, parent of Republic Wireless. “The Republic Wireless Wi-Fi+ app makes logging into public hotspots quick and easy.”

Morken adds: “This is about simplifying our member’s experience. There are thousands of public networks all over the world and they are all different. Some use captive-portals that require you to login using a web browser. Sometimes you need to establish an account, which may or may not be free, and type in credentials such as a username and password, or your email. Other networks require you to accept some terms and conditions. All of this is a lot of hassle for someone trying to quickly lookup information or check an email on their smartphone. We think the Republic Wireless Wi-Fi+ app raises the member experience to a new level.”

The Wi-Fi+ app provides the Republic Wireless unlimited smartphone three distinct upgrades:

1.    Automatic access to over 12 million Wi-Fi hotspots. Using technology from our partner Devicescape, the phone recognizes available networks, how to log into them, where they are located, how popular they are, and how well they work.

2.    Connection verification. A Wi-Fi+ onscreen widget shows the strength of your Wi-Fi connection. Like any network, Wi-Fi signal strength is largely dependent on the number of users at a given time and what they are doing the network. This can be issue when using a public hotspot at a popular café or the local McDonald’s and Starbucks. If this is the case, the Republic Wireless unlimited smartphone works just like a regular phone on the nationwide network of Sprint. There is no additional cost when you use the cellular network.

3.    Smarter monitoring. Wi-Fi+ provides an on-phone widget to provide feedback about how much Wi-Fi you use versus cellular, and how your use stacks up with the Republic Wireless community.

Republic Wireless rocked the wireless industry in 2011 when it debuted the country’s cheapest smartphone plan at $ 19 per month for talking, texting and unlimited data. Republic Wireless leverages both Wi-Fi and cellular networks to make phone calls, send text message and surf the web.

About Republic Wireless

It’s really simple: Want to save money? Republic Wireless offers the nation’s cheapest smartphone plan. Republic Wireless, a division of Bandwidth, headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, is spearheading a wireless freedom movement to return value and control of the smartphone experience to members by leveraging the power of Wi-Fi and an engaged community of users. Republic Wireless offers unlimited data, text, and voice service for $ 19 per month, with no contract. Our Hybrid Calling uses Wi-Fi in the home, office or anywhere else as the primary network for calls, texts and data. When outside of Wi-Fi coverage, the smartphone works just like a typical cellphone on the national cellular network of Sprint. Visit http://www.republicwireless.com/ for more information.

Babe Ruth Leads the Race for Ranker's March Rankings of the Greatest Baseball Players Ever

/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

Babe Ruth holds steady at #1 on Ranker’s “Greatest Baseball Players of All Time” list, a a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 900 people have voted on the list as of March, 2013 and the resounding sentiment is that the all-stars of the present don’t have anything on the great players of the past. At #16, Nolan Ryan- who last played with the Texas Rangers in 1993- is the most recent ball player to make the list (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim first baseman Albert Pujols is the top-ranking active player at #37).

The rest of the Top 10 Best Baseball Players are as follows:

1) Babe Ruth

2) Willie Mays

3) Lou Gehrig

4) Ted Williams

5) Ty Cobb

6) Hank Aaron

7) Stan Musial

8) Mickey Mantle

9) Joe Dimaggio

10) Honus Wagner

Baseball aficionado Andrew Tertitski, an ardent Yankees fan, disagrees with Babe Ruth’s top spot. Said Tertitski, “Babe Ruth was an amazing player, fun to watch I’m sure, but when it comes to the man that made the most impact for his team and for the game, there’s no one better than Lou Gehrig”. On the topic of new players being absent from the top rankings, he posited that “too many people question whether these new guys are great because of talent or drugs”.

Tattoo Quote Ideas Where To Find the Best Quote Tattoo Design Ever

/in , /by

Have you been considering getting a written or word tattoo and now sure where to find the best tattoo quote ideas?  A lot of people these days want some kind of written quote that they can get tattooed onto their wrist, rib cage or some other area on their body.  Word, literary and written tattoo designs have really come into fashion in a big way.  They are super popular with both men and women alike helping fuel this trend.  However the one thing that always gets people stuck is what to write.  You see it on tattoo websites and forums all the time.  People state they want to get a written tattoo of a quote but they do not know what quote to use.  These people often get slammed in the forums and told if they don’t already have an idea then they should not get a tattoo.  Of course this seems kind of accurate hwoever, it is often hard to know where to start with the creative process.  It islike writers block or the block of creativity an artist might have.  So in this article you will find three useful ways to find the best quotes to give you some ideas of where you might start.  You can always personailize and change things up to make it unique once you get some ideas going.

Tattoo Sites
One of the easiest places to start looking for tattoo quotes that have already been done as tattoos are the myraid of tattoo design sites already online.  These could be the design type of site or a community site or just a gallery of the best tattoos.  By searching google for quote tattoos you will find a ton of tattoo oriented sites a many have great pictures and ideas to get you started.

Quote Sites
Another place to try is search on your favorite search engine for quotes websites.  There are a ton of websites out there that run off of large databases filled with thousands of quotes.  They are often classified in alaphabetically order and often also give the author and other quotes by that same person.  This can really help narrow down an author or person you like and help you to identify some possible quotes for your design.

The Library and Bookstore
If you are not into the internet and rather go about this in the real world then a serach at your local library or major bookstore should eaisly do the trick.  There are tons of books packed full of quotes and ideas from other writers.  These can be used easily and they are often categorized by theme.  Thus it is easy to search through these especially if you know the type of quote you want.  For example if you want something about love you will probably find a whole section of quotes written to this topic.

The most improtant thing is to not let other people get your down and instead just enjoy your search for the idea quote tattoo.  If you push yourself adn rush the process you will not be happy withthe final quote.  Instead realize that it can be a very creative process that takes time and you probably need some reference material to get your started.
