What if you could get a top-tier, current-model smartphone with all the bells and whistles, and pay between $5 and $40 a month for unlimited voice, text and data? And there's no contract required.

不妨想像一下，如果你能拿到一部拥有炫目功能的主流旗舰智能手机，每个月只要5-40美元（约合人民币31至244元）话费就享受无限通话、短信与数据服务，怎么样？而且还不需要签合约。

Well, you can if you sign up with an innovative carrier called Republic Wireless. Republic's secret is it modifies brand-name phones so they place voice calls and send texts over Wi-Fi instead of more expensive cellular networks. That lets the company charge less per month and forgo contracts. And now it offers a top-tier phone, the Moto X from Motorola.

现在如果你与一家叫Republic的创新运营商签约，就可以享受到这些。Republic的秘诀是，他们对品牌手机进行了改装，从而让通话和短信都基于Wi-Fi，绕开了资费较贵的手机网络。这样一来，Repubilc就可以降低每月资费，而且无需合约限制。现在他们提供了一款摩托罗拉(Motorola)的旗舰手机Moto X。

When Wi-Fi is absent or too weak, Republic's phones switch to Sprint's cellular network for calling and texting. Cellular calls and texts don't cost extra. If you start a call via Wi-Fi and keep talking as you leave Wi-Fi range, the call switches over to cellular.
