Every weekday I travel forty-five minutes into and then out of NYC for work. I guess that sounds like a long time but it actually goes by very quickly thanks to my smartphone! Years ago (before I had Taylor) my job was an hour and a half away and I had to drive there and back in bumper to bumper traffic. It was absolute TORTURE! It makes me really appreciate my current commute. I don’t have to watch the road and can hang in my comfy express bus seat instead and read, watch movies/TV shows, shop online and check out my Instagram feed.
All the time I spend online means that I burn through a lot of data. My old carrier would slow down my internet after I reached 4GB and it was very frustrating. I could not tell if I was just in a spot where I was getting bad service or if I had gone over my data limit. It started happening more and more so I decided to change my plan.
I am sure you know by now that I go to Walmart regularly. I am there usually a few times a month. Our local Walmart is a Supercenter so I can get everything done in one place including food shopping and oil changes.
I started my mission for more data in their electronics department. That was where I found out about Walmart Family Mobile and let me tell you – GAME CHANGER!
With Walmart Family Mobile PLUS I am able to get unlimited talk, text, & data (which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE plus a free movie on VUDU every month) per line for $49.88. That is less than a third of what I was paying for my old plan plus it comes with way more data!
Also, long gone are the days of having to get a pre-paid flip phone unless you lock into a contract with a carrier. They have phones from LG, HTC and Samsung. I wound up picking up a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for $79.92! I have not paid under $600 for a smartphone in years! I was astounded!
I also bought a $25 “Starter Kit” to go along with my phone. It includes a Micro SIM card so I could use the Walmart Family Mobile plan.
Purchasing my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime and the accompanying Walmart Family Mobile Plan required no credit check, no deposit and no annual contract to sign. It was easy peasy!
Now, I don’t have to worry about running out of data during my commute and I get a free movie every month on VUDU as well. I can stream all the new releases they offer right to my smart TV and have a movie night with my best girl. She is dying to watch Goosebumps again so that may be our movie for January.
If you are looking for a plan that is less expensive and comes with more data you should definitely consider the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan! How would you use the money you would save?

My son loves Goosebumps, too! How great that you can just enjoy the commute into the city each day and not worry about going over data. #client
I am looking for a great family plan now that my son says he is ready for a phone!! Definitely going to check this out! Also I love your handbag and shoes!
Interesting… I’ve always wondered about these data plans because I have the tendency to go over–it’s good to know there’s a card that can help! Thanks so much for sharing; I kind of miss my commuting days 🙂 XOXO
Definitely a great plan/idea for those with children and larger families!!
This is such a great post! I don’t commute anymore (I kinda miss it), but my husband does so this could help, especially with our current contract expiring soon. Will totally look into this as it could be an option. Thanks for sharing =)
