Walmart Verizon Prepaid Phones

The selection of Walmart Verizon prepaid phones available online is relatively small. Currently (Jan. 2010) there are only handsets available at the online store: the Samsung U350 Smooth and the LG 5500.

Samsung U350 Smooth $19.98

The Samsung U350 Prepaid Wireless Phone, Verizon is an attractive and inexpensive Bluetooth camera phone with voice dialing on Verizon’s CDMA network. The camera is VGA resolution which is just enough for sharing. At $19.98, it’s a pretty good deal. The only drawbacks are a relatively short standby time of 7 days and talk time of three and a half hours.

LG 5500 $22.88

Verizon Prepaid LG 5500 at Walmart

This phone which originally cost about $60 is currently out of stock at the $22.88 price point. The LG 5500 is also a Bluetooth camera phone but it has better battery life than the Samsung Smooth. The 5500 has a talk time of 300 minutes (5 hours) and a standby time of 440 hours (about 18 days). Otherwise, the features are similar: voice dialing, internet access, speakerphone and multimedia messages. Check if the phone is back in stock and save on Electronics Rollback at Walmart.com!

Walmart is Cheaper

The same prepaid phones cost $49.99 each on the Verizon Wireless website, so it’s much cheaper to get them at Walmart. In fact these prices seem so low that many ask . . .

Are Walmart Verizon Phones Refurbished?

These phones come with a one-year (not ninety day) warranty. My guess is that they are new and not refurbished. However, these phones may be excess stock that Walmart is trying to clear out to make space for the next batch of phones.
