Walmart Family Mobile Means More $ for Spring Break Fun

Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans
This is something my wife and I have been discussing a lot since moving down to Marco Island, FL. We left MN with a very high cell bill every month. We still have the kids, the adult kids on the plan. Unlimited Talk Text and Data/Web features is a high priority when selecting a new service. My wife’s carrier is horrible with service in this area and what we pay a month for her bill is well over $100.00.
I have used the Walmart Best Plans cell service in the past and it worked great for me. We decided to head to Walmart and pick up the phone for my wife. The Walmart Family Mobile service is $29.88/month (for the first line) Unlimited Talk, Text & Data service plan which includes up to 500MB of 4G LTE data. That saves us $100.00 a month just for her phone. If we could get the kids to pay off their cell contract, they too would be saving that much! We visited the Walmart in Naples to find our phone, they looked like they were out but the friendly electronics guy found one for us in the back room.
Our Spring Break Ideas for having fun with our savings
We downloaded the Marco review App. This handy little app lets us find deals throughout the island. From best Sunday brunch ideas to where we can get a deal on water sports toys.
With this app we can find the best shopping deals, and the best accommodations when we have family come in for vacation and activities! Our daughter was here a week and let me tell you that trip costs us a lot of money!
We can use our savings to take a kayak out and have fun for the day! Kayaks are so relaxing and lets us get close to birds and manatees. We love going to the beach and renting water toys but it gets expensive, this will allow us to rent and not break the bank!
We can also take out a water bike for the day and have fun on the bay. With the high cell bill there just has not been that extra fun money. We are thrilled with the amount of money we are saving from Walmart!
We headed out to the beach and I sat down with my lemonade and set my wife’s phone up for her. We talked about other areas we could save money too. We called family and friends to test out the service and it worked wonderfully! Now family can call my wife with out it telling them she is out of service.

How are you saving money for Spring Break fun?

Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle
I’ve been seriously considering switching to a plan from Walmart. My cell phone bill is terrible!
Ricci
There is nothing worse than paying too much for a cell phone. I hate that they are so expensive but you have to have one. I need to look into the service ASAP!!
rachelle
My daughter has been asking for her own phone, looks like it might be time to head to Walmart and grab one for her! We are saving money for spring break (heading to FL) by not eating out as much!
Bri Radke
I really need to take a look at these Walmart phone plans. I love my cell phone, but the bill? Not so much. =(
Heather
Smartphones, gotta have them, but sometimes the bill is outrageous. Looks like this could save you some money.

It’s great to know Walmart has so many mobile options for families. Such a great program.

These Walmart Family Mobile plans are great. I love that they also have so many phones to choose from, too.

I was amazed by how great Walmart’s phone plans are. You can save a lot of money with them.

Our cell phone bill is enormous every month. I think it’s to ditch my old one and star anew with Walmart’s plan.
Danielle K
Our cell phone bills are definitely not cheap. I’ll have to check this out so we can do some saving.

I really need a break, even a mini one, and with my kids planning to visit my inlaws during spring break, one is on the horizon.
The Mad Mommy
These family plans look awesome! I think I will definitely look into these when our kids get a little older!
Jeanine
This is so great! Much better than what we pay for 3 phones which is actually beyond ridiculous. Going to see when our contract ends if our Walmart offer this!
Nina Say
I am impressed with how affordable plans are. Way to go Walmart, you’ve done well.
Ask Coach Donna
How fun – your presentation for how you’ll use your savings was great – I’ll be telling my son about this – except he is an iPhone lover – he will just have to check it out – maybe it’ll work for him! 🙂

Saving money by saving with our every day spending. We do this all the time and save up for our trips! Thanks for your tips.

With more people needing phones in our household, we are looking to save as much as we can on our plan. This sounds like a wonderful deal!

We don’t have cable or a landline phone and cancelled anything and everything that we could while hubs and I were in school. We stream all of our shows through Netflix and Hulu. We are with Verizon and live in a rural area. We have tried other plans and carriers but they don’t work well where we live. We use our phones a lot. Hubs has us on a high data plan and our bill is ridiculous. i’d love to be able to save money on it.
Beth Williams
I keep seeing all these commercials for this! Would love to switch to this kind of plan.
Rosey
The Marco Review app does sound handy! I like apps that can genuinely help you when you’re out and about, esp. true during travel.
Catherine S
This sounds like such a great deal. I need to look into this for my family.
Cinny
Those water bikes look like so much fun!!

I think that Walmart Family Mobile is a great plan that is budget-friendly! Definitely gives one more money to enjoy during Spring Break!

The beach is my favorite place to escape the hectic day to day pace of City Living! I don’t have a Walmart near work or home oddly enough, but my sister does so I will have her check out the cell phones and plans while she is there!

Oh! Looks awesome thing, I’ve a lot of phones that always broke and this one looks amazing.
traceyzimmer
I have heard such good things about Walmart plans. I think I may need to make the switch.
Cherri Megasko
Wow! That’s a great price and unbelievable savings. I’m going to check this out, because I will need to be changing my cell plan soon anyway. Thanks for all this info!

I shop at Walmart almost weekend, if it’s not for one thing than it’s for another. There’s such a huge selection of phones at Walmart with their prepaid plans, very impressive.
Yona Williams
It’s outrageous how quickly a phone plan can get out of hand, and have you paying exorbitant prices. We have a family plan, and it helps all of us out. I think things are a lot better than they used to me. Competition will do that. But, these unlimited plans, like the one offered at Walmart, are very attractive in price and service.
Michelle Varga (@dustbunniesblog)
Cell phones can easily cost a lot – this sounds like a good option for saving some money!
amushro
I need a beach vacation right now!! These pictures are amazing! I like the idea of saving money on cell phones to spend a little more on a vacation!
Camesha
What a deal. That’s a great option. My bill easily gets out of control! I am so looking forward to a spring break get away!
Amy Desrosiers
My mom uses this service and loves it so much! I can see why people would want to make the switch too!

I love that Walmart offers so many great phone plans. It made it easy for me to get my new phone.
