| wrst | Omnifrog: I read that earlier today | 02:36 |
| wrst | and how are you doing? | 02:36 |
| Omnifrog | busy as all get out | 02:54 |
| Omnifrog | damn leaf falling season | 02:54 |
| wrst | we just let them rot :) | 03:48 |
| Omnifrog | if only I didn't rent | 03:53 |
| === Omnifrog is now known as Omnifrog|pond | ||
| wrst | ahh | 03:54 |

| twayneprice | wrst: My son just ordered the Moto X https://republicwireless.com/ | 15:16 |
| wrst | those phones get really good reviews... I'm awaiting my nexus 5 twayneprice | 15:22 |
| wrst | I'm trying to stay unlocked on phones from here on out if possible | 15:24 |
| twayneprice | I kinda don't like that they have a special rom though. | 15:25 |
| wrst | I don't really eithere | 15:27 |
| wrst | but I understand why they do but I'm not a fan of that | 15:27 |
| wrst | and being device locked | 15:27 |
| twayneprice | They are working on making their stuff an installable app, though. https://community.republicwireless.com/thread/16706 | 15:28 |
| wrst | ting has hinted that hey may be working on a similar type offering | 15:28 |
| wrst | but I like what both companies are doing as they are certainly shaking things up | 15:28 |
| wrst | and I have had surprisingly good service from sprint | 15:29 |
| wrst | I get 4G from Algood to my house now I think they have just upgraded a bit | 15:29 |
| twayneprice | I agree. | 15:43 |
| wrst | I have had 4G since I moved but now it seems to be getting better | 15:49 |
| wrst | I don't use it much but its nice to have, and I'm getting speeds just as good as verizon, of course as my brother put it probably me and 2 other people are currently using sprint in the area | 15:50 |
| twayneprice | :) I'm anxious to try out the Moto X when he gets it. | 15:52 |
| wrst | I was tempted to go that route they are nice looking phones, but the nexus 5 price /specs are really hard to beat | 15:52 |
| twayneprice | I'm really curious to check out the service. We bought some land on the Overton/Pickett county line and my ATT doesn't work. | 15:55 |
| wrst | will republic roam on other cdma networks? | 15:55 |
| twayneprice | That is my understanding. | 15:58 |
| wrst | you should be good then | 15:58 |
| wrst | north of livingston I have no data, but I do have voice/text via sprint or verizon/us cellualar | 15:58 |
| twayneprice | I believe that I will be able to roam data too. | 16:00 |
| wrst | oh wow if you can roam data that's a game changer | 16:42 |
| twayneprice | https://community.republicwireless.com/thread/1818 | 16:52 |
| wrst | oh wow | 16:53 |
| wrst | hmm | 16:53 |
| twayneprice | No tethering, though. | 16:55 |
| wrst | I have tethering and they actually have forums on how to hack yoru phones if you need help, I like that aspect of ting | 17:20 |
| wrst | but I'm way more than 20 bucks per month however | 17:20 |
| twayneprice | I probably won't tether too much anyway since the way they keep the price down is to assume that you will be using wifi mostly. | 18:02 |
| twayneprice | http://lifehacker.com/most-popular-pre-paid-cellphone-carrier-republic-wirel-1463078932 | 18:02 |
| wrst | yes I had been keeping track of that, actually got a pair of ting sunglasses coming my way for participatiing, actually for commenting in a facebook post | 18:05 |
| twayneprice | That's pretty cool. | 18:14 |
| wrst | yes they have been a super cool company to deal with and their phone selection is pretty good | 18:14 |
| wrst | especially with the possible addition of an iphone | 18:14 |
| twayneprice | Yea, I've kinda been going back and forth between them a RW. | 18:17 |
| wrst | my biggest pro ting thing at the moment, is the nexus 5, I can easily switch to another network if need be, other than verizon | 18:18 |
| twayneprice | I've heard it is pretty nice. | 18:23 |
| wrst | yes I really like that... now just waiting, waitiing, waiting... to get it | 18:25 |
