Over the last few years Wamart have became more and more competitive in a wide range of markets, usually with the aim of becoming the cheapest option, it seems that they now aim to impact the wireless service market.
Walmart have recently announced their new wireless service which they are calling “Straight Talk”, none of Straight Talk’s plans will require contracts.
It is thought that Straight Talk’s plans will start at $30 per month, and it seems that they will be offering an unlimited talk, text and web service for just $45 per month.
To become competitive in the market Walmart teamed up with TracFone Wireless, TracFone Wireless have vast experience in the pre-paid wireless market.
It is thought that Straight Talk will go live as of October 18th, the carrier will offer nationwide coverage, to find out more check out IntoMobile.

I will be looking into it, because it is so much cheaper!
It is much cheaper and better than my old contract was. The phone is not as nice but it works without a problem and to be able to make unlimited calls, texts and data is really great. Straight Talk has superior network coverage because they run on Verizon’s network, nationwide.
I would never support walmart in anything they do. They’re a horrible company to work for and do nothing but rape, their workers and lie about loyalty. The offer the lowest prices because they do the most dirt to get them. Watch the documentary “walmart, the high cost of low prieces”
Its not Walmart. It is Tracphone. Walmart just sells it, and helped to support it.
I think the service looks very interesting. THANK YOU Walmart for jumping into this market-space. Oh, and Vaughn, YOU are a MORON.
sorry but i think you are…..not walmart..
I have had this service for almost a year. To be honest I have had 0 dropped calls the reception is fantastic I give it 12 stars out of 10
I first got Straight Talk back in June when the plan was $30 for 1000 calls and 1000 text + data, and thought it was a great deal. But the $45 / month Straight Talk UNLIMITED plan just topped it off!!! There’s not another plan out there right now that can even compare to this one. The fact that their signal is on the Verizon network makes all the difference. I’ve never had a dropped call or out-of-range call, which is a plus specially when you’re taking a long road trip - as was the case for this summer. We travelled more than 3000 miles from the South all the way to the Midwest - and not a glitch. As always, Wal-Mart doesn’t disappoint - now they’re carrying Straight Talk too. That’s awesome cause that’s were I shop as do most of you!!
Saw it on the news today. Going to sign my adult daughter up for this and rid her of the $120 month one phone plan thru sprint. What a bargain, and on the VERIZON network at that!! I never had a complaint about their coverage.
Can someone explain the 30 mb of data in the $30 plan? How is it used up?
30 mb on $ 30 plan to use mms and almost 100 webpage visit and use
I got this service for my 11 year old daughter. Her service is o great I am going to cancel my service with AT&T to change over to straight talk. Her service is way better than my service. Her phone never drops calls and it always clear no matter where we are.
30MB of date is anout 350 web pages. I prefer the unlimited plan for $45 a month. And I got a QWERY phone which makes it a lot easier to use — and text too!
But for me, the best thing about Straight Talk is its simplicity. I am so tired of wading through funky phone bills with mysterious charges and fees.
I really appreciate the savings, of course, but not having those awful and undecipherable bills has been a great stress-reducer.
