Such a deal! If you don’t mind walking around with a device that can barely make phone calls, then you’re in for a money saving treat. Wal-Mart has jumped into the service fray with an offer that’s hard to refuse. Two plans starting at $30 a month give you nationwide calling texting and data.

Straight Talk “All You Need” 30-day Plan that includes the following for only $30 a month:

1,000 minutes, 1,000 texts and 30MB of mobile web access
Nationwide coverage
411 Information calls at no extra charge

Straight Talk’s Unlimited 30-day Plan that includes the following for $45 a month:

Unlimited minutes, unlimited text and unlimited mobile web access
Nationwide coverage
Unlimited 411 Information calls at no extra charge

This would probably scare the hell out of the major US carriers if it were not for the 3 phones to choose from. But let’s just imagine for a moment that Wal-Mart begins to make deals with Blackberry, HTC and others. Yikes! $45 a month for unlimited everything? A top of the line smartphone? Game over.
