Last month, I picked up a Concord Smartphone from Walmart and signed up for service with Walmart Family Mobile powered by T-Mobile to test out their unlimited plans and see if their service would work for our family. Since our current mobile bill is our biggest bill, next to the mortgage payment, we were motivated to try a new provider so we can cut our costs and start saving some money in addition to finding a plan that will give us the coverage we need for the traveling we do during the holiday season.
My initial investment in the Walmart Family Mobile service was $49.88 for the phone (thank you Walmart for the Rollback on phone prices) and $25 for the activation kit, $3.97 shipping, plus taxes for a grand total of $83.19.
What did that $83.19 get me?
My phone and my first 30 days of service on the Walmart Family Mobile plan.
Little did I know that I was going to learn to love not just my service with this plan, but the savings too!
This is my bill that I received today when I logged into my online account management and information center.
Seriously, can you believe that??? $22.76!!
Talk about a cheap wireless plan!
The great thing is, our contract is coming up with our current mobile provider and we are seriously considering making the switch when that time comes!
I’m happy to make the move since I can get a sweet Samsung Galaxy S4 with this plan as well.
I am already imagining the holiday savings we could build from the monthly savings we would have once we switch plans, we could actually take a little family vacation too!
Walmart Family mobile definitely offers the lowest price rate plan out there, and I’ve done my homework and shopped around.
I love that the Walmart Family Mobile service is powered by T-Mobile because I am able to get reception in areas I cannot with my current provider. Having coverage further North of Green Bay is a great thing with our family since we spend a lot of time up that way over the holidays visiting extended family. It is great to know that we won’t be experiencing dropped calls, others will be able to text and call us and if there is an emergency, we will be able to make a phone call when we need too!
For now, we will definitely be continuing our service with Walmart Family Mobile using our Concord phone. For the price of this plan, it is definitely worth the investment to keep the service so we have a phone that actually works when we are away from home over the holidays.
If we do make the switch to Walmart Family Mobile, the Concord phone would actually be a great gift to give our little Alexander. Although he is only 5 (almost 6) I would love for him to have a phone in an emergency so he could call me if he needed too. I love that smartphones are so smart that you can install apps and change settings to make them totally little kid friendly. Alexander is obsessed with calenders since he started school so I set up the calender on the Concord to display the days that are special to him.
He loves it when he sees the phone light up with a calender alert and he loves it even more when he sees his name on that alert!
If you have a teenager who doesn’t have a mobile phone yet and you’ve been thinking about getting them one, this is definitely the way to go. No need to worry about them going over their minutes when gabbing with friends, using too many texts or surfing the net and eating up your all of your available data. Give them a Concord Smartphone with Walmart Family Mobile for the holidays! The great thing is, the price is so low that when they transition and take the service over, the bill is extremely affordable.
Remember, for lest than $40 a month, you can get UNLIMITED Talk, Text and Web with Walmart Family Mobile and I’m confident you will get the best wireless service that you can receive and NO CONTRACT!
Knowing that this service will save us at least $160 each month makes Walmart Family Mobile look even better everyday!
