Mr. Morken, can you hear me now? I hung up after being on hold for over an hour waiting for “Support” to answer the phone. I joined the Republic wireless service during its beta phase on 12/26/11. I remained a faithful customer during the Dish takeover and upgraded to 5G devices. The service has worked reasonably well. However, support no longer exists. How can you support customers when you can't keep your own call center online? Dish? Nonetheless, besides lack of support, this takeover has created one very serious flaw in access to account information. It is no longer possible to access call history. Previously, call history was available for review and/or use for billing purposes. If it is still available, there is no obvious place to find it. Please explain why this basic feature of most cell providers is no longer available. Any professional using Republic service and billing their time, would lose all income associated with this carrier. Since it has been about 8 months since Dish assumed control, adequate time has passed for addressing this deficiency. Please make this information available via the online account console.

Very reliable over many years I've had RW for several years and just found out about the Dish acquisition. I did not experience any changes in my service. Really, RW has been a delightfully boring company. I just get the same low bill every month. Service is what I paid for, consistently. I've had to buy extra data - for $5 - exactly twice in many years.

Republic Wireless Not the Same After Being Bought By Dish My husband has been a Republic Wireless customer for many years with very few complaints. However, since the switch to Dish, he has been having problems accessing voicemail and has had to call and speak with a Dish/RW rep several times, always ending up speaking to a supervisor (some of whom are able to correct the problem, some who provide a work-around). I'm now researching other cell phone company plans and we will be switching. Too bad, we liked RW.

Mint is better Was better service & pricing before dirty dish bought them out. Switched to Mint far better service and saving half my prior cost still with no contract!

Switched to Republic Wireless over 6… Switched to Republic Wireless over 6 years ago. Initially it was a wonderful option to expensive plans offered by the larger companies. Worked great with no issues until a few months ago when Dish bought out the company. Since then I have experienced multiple issues with texts not being sent or received, as well as calls not going through. I realize the transition has caused glitches, however, my phone service has become iffy at best. Switched today to a main carrier. I would definitely discourage anyone from signing up with Republic wireless, unless consistency isn't an issue for you. I may go back in the future if the serious issues are corrected.
