Walmart launching own pre-paid cell plans

– October 14, 2009Posted in: Analysis, Walmart, no-contract

razr Walmart launching own pre paid cell plans Look out Virgin Mobile and Cricket, Walmart is coming for you. The infamous retailer announced today that they are launching their own no-contract cellular service on the 18th, called Straight Talk.

The retail giant has teamed up with TracFone, and is going to be offering two plans: The “All you need” $30 a month version with 1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts, and 30mb of mobile web access, or the $45 a month, unlimited voice, data, and texting option.

There doesn’t appear to be an activation fee, but you will have to purchase a phone from Walmart in order to make the service work. There are currently three different phones listed on their site, a bare bones LG200C, a Motorola W285, and a MOTORAZR V3A. Price vary by phone, and by the plan you select of course.

I do have one question however. If you use a Walmart phone to send a picture to people of Walmart, will the network crash?

Crunch Network: CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware.
