When contacted to try the Walmart Family Mobile Plan with Unlimited Talk Text and Data/Web by #CollectiveBias, I was excited to check it out. Seeing that it is tax time and I have a very little bit of spare cash, I thought it would be great to finally get my boys a phone. They have been asking for one for years and most of their friends already have one. What bothers them the most is that their older sister has one. With sports, after school activities, sleep overs, etc it is always a challenge to track them down. While it mostly would be more helpful to me, it will also make a great Valentines Day gift! I can’t wait to see how they react. We always make Valentines Day about the kids, usually with some fun chocolates, a little personalized letter and sometimes a gift, but not always.
The things that were important to me were Unlimited Talk Text and Data/Web and to find the Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans. My budget was tight for this purchase and I was looking into phones under $100; that way I can stretch those tax return dollars. As I headed over to my neighborhood Walmart, the phones under the Walmart Family Mobile Plan were easy to find, all in one display. I was surprised that there were several to choose from as well as phones in that price range with all the features I was looking to get. I chose the Alcatel onetouch Evolve, which was well within my price range, and also left me room to purchase the Family Mobile plan starter kit, which included my SIM card. There are several ways to activate, I chose to do it at home, online. It was very easy and allowed me time to review and decide on the Walmart Family Mobile plan I wanted.
After I activated the phone on the Walmart Family Mobile site, of course I played with it for a while, added contacts and took some photos. The phone was easy to navigate and I think it will be a huge hit with my boys! They can bring me gorgeous photos of snakes, spiders, bruises and flat tires!
I am excited that this is a gift they can use continuously and keep in touch with me, our family members and friends. And most of all that they can stop running off with my phone!
Everything in one location!

I got my son a phone so I could reach him anytime. SO many of his friends’ families don’t have land lines, well neither do we. I like the flat rate Walmart is offering. It looks like a great deal.
I don’t even know why we keep out land line. I need to cancel it and save a few dollars.
I’ve used Straight Talk for years. I like that there’s no contract. The family plan outlined here looks good.
Thanks for your comment, I think a lot of people are frustrated with the complicated contracts. That has been some of the feedback I have been getting after this post. That’s good news for the Walmart Family Plan.
I absolutely love that bee balloon, so cute!
So funny, I was pretty obsessed with it too!
Awesome!! I never believed children should have phones but I have totally changed my mind, I could always get ahold of my kids after they had phones. Totally worth it!! Thanks for sharing, I will be checking this out!!
I know I was the same way before sports and friends had them all going in different directions. It is very helpful.
This sounds like such a great plan! We love Walmart too which makes it even easier since we go there all the time. Thanks for sharing this information!
It was quick and easy to buy and activate too. Not a problem, thanks for visiting. 🙂
Our daughter has a Walmart Family Mobile plan for when she babysits. We love it!
My daughter just started babysitting too, I feel more comfortable being on stand by in case she needs help.
I am so glad my monster is not all about the phone and wanting to talk to people. I like how inexpensive the phones are.
Ya, this year mine really got into it, especially texting.
Thanks for sharing this! We don’t have a home phone, just my husband and my cell phones and sometimes we need a home phone to leave with a babysitter or with the kids if we run out real quick. This is a great idea to use walmart mobile! I never would’ve thought about them!
Ya, great when you need an affordable option. & you are welcome! 🙂
It looks so classy and chic!!
The boys are going to say “You got us a real phone!!!” It is a nice one.
et I need a new phone!!!
You should check it out, I like the fact that there is no contract.
