It shouldn’t surprise any of my readers that as a family we are trying desperately to save money these days. Due to some overwhelming and ongoing medical bills we are having to cut corners and cut back in general.
When I sit down and think about that task it is heartbreaking, especially as the Holidays approach. I do not want to have to cut on gifts for my special kiddos. So what does a family do in this situation? You sit down and look at what monthly bills you pay every month. One of the bills that I HATE paying monthly is our cell phone bill. It is high…it is a lot of money but we have to have phones so I pay that bill every month!
When I first started searching for a Cheap Wireless Plan I never would have thought to look at Walmart but I am glad I did. Our current wireless bill comes to almost 170 dollars a month for 2 lines, unlimited talk, text and web. Yikes! That is a lot of money.
Here are the details on what I found when shopping for the Best Wireless plan at Walmart and found the Walmart Family Mobile powered by T-Mobile.
- No annual contract
- No overages
- No credit check
- Pay at the register and activate at home!
- $25.00 to activate.
- Service billed monthly
- T-Mobile’s Nationwide Network
- Unlimited Talk, Text and Web
All of this for JUST $39.88 per month!! When we saw this we were floored. Let’s do a comparison.
Right now we pay $170.00 a month for our services. If we switched both of our lines to Walmart Family Mobile we would have a bill of $74.76!
Um…wow. Just about a $100 dollar difference! Amazing!!
Now what could we do with that $100 dollars every month?
- Pay medical bills.
- Put an additonal $50 in each of Jude’s and Teagan’s savings.
- Start our Holiday shopping!
- Enjoy a night out.
- Pay off the car faster!
- Buy a freezer for the garage!
- SAVE MONEY!
Now you are probably thinking that this plan won’t let you have a “cool” smart phone…wrong. One of my conditions if we changed plans was to still have a great phone that let me cruise online, let Jude play games, text and blog! I found it. I have the T-Mobile Concord. The Concord is a great looking phone that is 3G and Wi-Fi capable, has a great 2MP camera and a nice looking large touchscreen.

While saving money is great and I also really excited about the NO CONTRACT policy with Walmart Family Mobile. I’m getting honest with you here…we do not know what to expect with Jeremy’s health in the next 3 months. There is a possibility that he might have to be put on unpaid medical leave again due to some complications. What a relief to be able to scrap our phones if he does stop getting a pay check. Just another way to protect our family during these holiday months.
I am pleased with our shopping experience at Walmart and happy with our purchase. I know that this switch will help our family during this holiday season not feel so stretched! What a relief! Please follow my entire #FamilyMobileSaves experience by viewing my Google+ Album.
Thank you #FamilyMobileSaves for making our holiday season just a little brighter and happier!
So good to know there are better options out there. My plan is so expensive! Also, I do like android phones more than I thought I would. Cool post!
Interesting! I didn't even know they had plans like that.
I have tried this service out too and have been impressed. It's a great alternative to the expensive 2 year contracts!
While I have a lot of trouble supporting Walmart, I do appreciate the fact that they can make something like this that's especially affordable for larger families.
interesting
What a great plan, I am not usually a Walmart shopper but this might make me take the trip
Great post!!! Thanks for your participation in this campaign! #client
