Ever felt like you don’t have enough common sense? Well, Sprint wants you to know that with their collaborative efforts with Walmart, you’ll be able to get your Common Cents (Mobile) fix at any time, whenever you’d like. It’s a brand new prepaid wireless program brought on from Sprint, and it’s going to be sold exclusively from Walmart.
So what’s the big deal about Common Cents Mobile? Well, if you’re one of those people out there with a prepaid plan, and you’re not already on the unlimited bandwagon, then this deal will probably work out quite well for you. Featuring 7-cent text messages, and 7-cent per minute voice calls. Additionally, in a stroke of ridiculous good will, Sprint wants people to know that with Common Cents Mobile, minutes are actually rounded down. So, as you can see from the nice little graphic up there, if you make a call that’s one minute and 46 seconds, you’ll only pay for one minute. The other guys will charge you for two.
As far as handsets go, they aren’t breathtaking. The LG101 will run you a cheap $19.77, and the Samsung M340 will only run you $39.77. Refill cards will cost you $20 per refill to start, which will get you 30 days of service if you don’t use it all up. For $30 you get 60 days of service or 848 minutes to talk to people. Or, if you don’t like any of those plans, or that 7-cents per text message, then for an additional $20 per month you can hit up unlimited messaging.
