Please note:

  • During activation, you may be asked to install a new SMS app. This is because only certain SMS apps work with our service. If you receive this message, follow the on-screen steps to download and set the app as your default SMS app.
  • You will also be asked to grant the Republic Wireless app certain permissions. In order for our service to work on your phone, the app needs you to allow it to perform certain actions.
