I've never seen Sprint in a Walmart here. Around the LA area I always see ATT, TMobile or both in one store.

The 2 WalMarts I frequent in Tallahassee sell Alltel, Verizon, and AT&T for contract service; on the prepaid side, Boost is sold there (the last time I checked)... I wonder if the Sprint thing is regional....

I have no idea what my local Wal-Mart carries as I so rarely shop there, and I almost never go back to electronics where the cell phones are.

Sprint is sold at our Wal-Mart, but the selection is tiny. They do sell AT&T and T-Mobile too.

My Wal-Mart sold Cellular One (Soon to be AT&T) and Nextel for the longest time for postpaid.

I did notice that they no longer had any Nextel phones there and now only have Boost. The reason the didn't have Sprint was because I live in an iPCS area that they haven't built any coverage in.

Any 1 seen Virgin?....as bad as my credit is, its the best choice for me and my minute use...soon I will be on verizon though. I know its on the sprint network...but its a different entity...lol...call customer service.
What we really need to see is more cell services, AND broadband services like virgin mobile. or Millenicom. Some of us made poor choices (credit wise) but are quick to realize.....

Optimize yourself.........

Never heard of them either... I assumed that most, if not all, major prepaid services were sold at most WalMarts. My walmart also sells Movida, a Hispanic prepaid MVNO on the Sprint CDMA network.

I have about 6 Wal-marts within 10 miles. Probably more. But from what I've noticed here, Verizon, At&t, and T-Mobile can be found at every Wal-Mart. About half carry Sprint though, and only one of them c
