Once you are at Walmart.com , type “cell phone” in the search bar. Instantly you will be connected with a host of options. Wal-Mart offers a variety of new unlocked cell phones that can be used for multiple carriers. Unlocked cell phone means that the cell phone is not locked to any particular service provider. Therefore you can buy a handset and use it with any service provider that is supported by the handset. (Before you purchase the cell phone of your choice, please ensure that the frequency of your cell phone service provider is supported by the cell phone you wish to purchase) In this way, you can buy the new cell phone you want and use it with your existing wireless plan. Swapping out the SIM card from your old mobile phone to you new handset usually does this. Along with unlocked cell phones, Wal-Mart also offers major carrier cell phones. You can search by carriers including, AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel and Verizon. You also have the option to search by brands such as: Motorola cell phone, Nokia cell phone, Blackberry cell phone, LG cell phone, Samsung cell phone, Sony-Ericcson cell phone and many more.
If you are searching carrier specific, once you find the new cell phone you want,Wal-Mart will default and show you the price of the handset with a two-year contract. Just above the list of cell phones, click the “phone only” tab and the same list will come up with the price for the cell phones only. Once you select your cellular phone, Wal-Mart will ask you to verify if the carrier you selected is your carrier (unless it is an unlocked cell phone). Once you agree that it is, the new cell phone will automatically be placed in your online shopping cart for checkout (you will need to open an online account during checkout, but this is FREE and is necessary for your personal information) and you will then be presented with a multitude of accessories specific to that cell phone. This is nice as you may get a great deal on more than just the wireless phone.
