"The advanced iPhone 5 with our unlimited $45 monthly plan and Walmart's $25 special financing offer is a marriage made in heaven – making it the most affordable premium smartphone offer in America. With this exclusive offer the last reason for not purchasing the No Contract Straight Talk plan is gone."
Seeing that there is a huge demand for low-cost international calling service, prompted Walmart and Straight Talk to also offer consumers a $60 a month, no contract, unlimited nationwide talk, text, and data plus unlimited international calling to more than 1,000 destinations in Mexico, Canada, India, and in other countries.
