Although Walmart might not be one of those destination that first come to mind when thinking about mobile phones, you’ll be surprised to know that the big box retailer is making a push in their wireless offerings.

Currently, 200 Walmart locations have these special wireless sections located in the front of its stores – thus, gaining instant visibility among customers strolling in. Furthermore, they’re planning to get these new dedicated wireless sections into approximately 150 to 200 additional stores nationwide.
