Users who sign up for Wal-Mart Family Mobile service will not have to sign a contract. The first line will cost $45 per month, and each additional line will cost $25 per month. Each line will have unlimited talk and text, so overage charges will not be an issue. For data access, each phone will come pre-loaded with a 100MB card known as a WebPak, which is shared among all lines on an account. Data does not expire, and refill cards can be purchased in Wal-Mart stores or online. The WebPak can also be used to make international calls at 5 cents per minute to any landline number in about a dozen countries."

...to burst into flames over this one.
"Walmart is EEEEEEvil! And by EEEEEEvil I mean that Jon Stewart has indicated that only fat Midwestern people with children shop there! But... but... this is such a good deal, and I am so-o-o-o-o addicted to my smart and shiny texting lifestyle... Hmmm, I wonder, if I stencil a silver Apple logo onto the back of this, how will it look, will anyone notice...?
