Entry #2773, August 22, 2013
Each year in my family there are a few topics that are getting old in discussing when you have teenagers. Whether it is about eating well, studying, and saving money – these are the 3 huge themes around the Gibson household every year! My oldest college son is a Sophomore and my middle son is a Sophomore in high school. Therefore cell phones and wireless phones and services are a big deal.
My husband and I have our individual iPhones and AT&T plans and our sons have Virgin Mobile and lower end Android platform phones. When I was offered the opportunity to pair up with Walmart Family Mobile for the#FamilyMobileSaves campaign for Collective Bias #cbias I thought – this is right on time, especially with back to school and all! After all who isn’t looking for cheap wireless plans and if they are unlimited plans.. even better. 🙂
Traveling to Walmart Wireless:
I have to admit I had never payed attention to the Walmart Wireless section in the front of my local Walmart here in Jacksonville, but I always saw a lot of people in there! I was pleasantly surprised to see firsthand all of the phone options including my iPhone 4 or 5 and the new Samsung Galaxy 4 – with amazing unlimited rate plans. you can see my shopping experience here:

What I learned about the Walmart Family Mobile Services:
Saving money is on everyone’s “to-do” list, right? In my family what my husband I find is in order to have a phone we like, but also to have phone plans that offer great service we have to pay expensive rates, right? Isn’t that just the norm? I loved the options I found at Walmart:
- Unlimited text and talk for $29.88 a month
- Unlimited text, talk and web for $39.88 a month
- Your choice of low or higher end brand phones and even the iPhone 4 & 5 or Samsung Galaxy
- No contracts, billed monthly and family lines get a $5.00 discount for each family member up to 5 lines. (This will help my family save approx. $120 a month!)
- Wamart Family Mobile has online account management and information to pay, check usage, and more.
After I learned these facts I was excited to sign up and try the Walmart Family Mobile monthly plans. Check back next month when I get one of the phones and talk about usage and signing up for service.

Can’t wait to try out the phone and service next month! Stay close….
I want to switch so bad! It may even be worth paying the early termination fee at this point. I’d still save HUNDREDS switching over to Walmart’s plan
Exactly! I’m thinking the same thing. The price of cancellation would be so much less than acquiring a new monthly lower cell phone bill 🙂
