Are Walmart phone deals worth it?
While Walmart sells phones from every major brand and on every major carrier, it is the king of prepaid. MVNOs like Straight Talk or Cricket have found their home in the discount shopping street cred of Walmart, so you can expect great Black Friday prepaid phone deals and plans there as you browse the aisles for 5-gallon jugs of discounted water, too. On the other hand, Walmart uses deals on the latest flagship iPhones as doorbusters, plus Samsung always offers huge discounts there as well.
Are iPhones and Galaxy phones unlocked at Walmart?
Most people in the US get their phones through one of the major carriers in the country but in recent years there's been a change looming. More and more people are exploring different ways to acquire their new phone, including at retailers like Walmart and this simply means that people need unlocked phones that are able to work on all the carriers.
Fortunately, the most popular phone brands in the US - the iPhones, Samsung Galaxies, and Google Pixels - come with unlocked versions that are sold outside of carrier stores and Walmart is no exception, unless you are specifically shopping for a carrier model in its wireless division.
Qualcomm and other cellular modem manufacturers have gotten the hold of packing dozens of LTE and 5G bands into a single chip. Smartphone manufacturers are starting to ride the wave and offer unlocked phones that work with any US cellular network out of the box, including Verizon's mmWave 5G one.
