Kansas City, MO | Should be until July 4, 2012.
Note that July 4 it becomes grandfathered and you can't switch away from it or you will loose it.
It does not include 4G(wimax) access it is 3G only. |

Henderson, NV | The Walmart special is 1 gig over one month for $20. Only available to those who bought their device from Walmart. Great for those who do little browsing or downloading, mostly email. Non-walmart buyers get 500 meg for $20. |

Thank you. My Father does very little downloading or browsing, mostly emailing. This plan will be great for him. |

Henderson, NV | The 3G devices are disappearing from Walmart. If that looks like a doable option, I'd buy now. |

Do you buy a $20 broadband card at Wal-Mart and apply it, or do you add airtime online in your acct mgmt.
What differentiates it being bought at Walmart? |

The ESN/MEID.
You can use whatever payment method you want... until July 4 it just has a plan option that doesn't appear on units that you bought elsewhere. |

Just an update the new signage in the walmart today for the VM products still lists the $20 1GB plan so it looks like it survived the changes.
It states:
$20 30 days
1GB 3G
N/A 4G
So appears it will still be available to units purchased at wallie world. |

I assume it's written into the software of units sold by Walmart. The $20 option appears in the plan choice window. It would be interesting to know if it's still available (Post 7/4). |
