Wal-Mart To Launch Unlimited Wireless Family Plan
adeelarshad82 writes "Wal-Mart has announced that it will sell a post-paid wireless service powered by T-Mobile, which will be targeted at families. 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."
I don't know why, but this "Family" thing in the name of the service makes me think of censorship.
On-line games will be certified to be non-violent and you will not be allowed to download Heavy Metal music, I suppose.
I'm clearly behind on my political lingo here. WTF is a Classist Anti-Walmart Hipster? Is that like a statist job-killing Atheist? Or more like a fascist union muslim? Perhaps a statist fascist? A communist obamanaut with a hint of racism?
Please clue me in. I can't follow all the new definitions that you keep pumping out.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, sue.

When we get paid enough that the more expensive options are actually viable?
Go with Verizon. Your immortal soul, coverage almost everywhere.
When you miss a payment, they claim your soul and put you to work in customer service.
Have you seen their new marketing slogan? "Rule the air!" Add the word 'minions' to the front and it sounds like The Monarch storming the Venture compound.
"All these years believing you're the signified monkey, only to find out you're just a big hunk of nobody cares."
...gets your eyeballs on their other offerings.
