"While Replicant is a fully free system, some proprietary components that are  
not part of the system, such as bootloaders, may still be executed (the  
situation depends on each device). These proprietary pieces have access to  
the data stored on the device. Hence, they represent a risk for security.
On telephony-enabled devices, if the modem is poorly isolated from the rest  
of the device, it may also be able to compromise the data stored on the  
device and apply software changes." source:Replicant FAQ
Nevertheless, a phone with replicant is as free as a smartphone can possibly  
be these days.
