If you’re the type of person who buys the store brand products (Great Value, for the win!), then Walmart’s cell phone plans might be perfect for you. Walmart Family Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), which means it offers discount cell phone plans using another company’s network. We’ll go over everything you need to know about the company’s plans, performance, and customer service in this Walmart Family Mobile review. So the real difference between the plans is the amount of full-speed, 4G LTE data that you can use. Here’s a breakdown of the plan costs and full-speed data allotment. The cheapest Walmart Family Mobile plan is not hotspot capable (not that you can do much with 2 GB of hotspot data, anyways). But the rest of its plans are. You can use all of your allotted 4G data with your hotspot on the limited data plans, but the unlimited data plan will cap you at 10 GB. Unfortunately, Walmart Family Mobile doesn’t quite manage to undercut the prices of its competition. For example, the company’s 5 GB plan costs $29.88 a month. But you can get more than twice as much data (12 GB) on the same network from Mint Mobile for $5 less! Check it out. In practice, this means that you might not be able to live stream your kid’s birthday party if you’re in a packed public park. Or you might experience some lag in your Fortnite Mobile game during rush hour. If you need a plan that won’t get deprioritized, try plans from T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon.
