[Hidden-tech] Hidden-tech] replacing Moto G (Droid) battery

[Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill]

Google Fi is working with two carriers and gets service on both, sprint and
T-mobile.  With modern phones I get actually pretty good coverage on
Republic Wireless, which is sprint network.  I dont know about t-mobile

Major advantages of Google Fi and Republic Wireless is that they both do
calling/texting over wifi. So those of us in leverett with good wifi but no
cell towers can still make calls at home.

Republic Wireless is another good option to check out.  Their new plans
launching in July are a bit cheaper for heavier data users than Google Fi.
Google Fi is best for low data users.
