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!
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.
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!
