Verizon Wireless Expands Product Line-Up at Wal-Mart

Verizon Wireless and Wal-Mart have announced the expanded availability of Verizon Wireless' products and services. Now available at 1,950 locations from coast to coast, the companies plan to offer Verizon Wireless' products and services at an additional 50 Wal-Mart locations by the end of the year. The availability of Verizon Wireless' products and services at Wal-Mart follows Wal-Mart's March introduction of INpulse, Verizon Wireless' pay-as-you-go prepay service.

Wal-Mart customers may choose from top-of-the-line wireless phones to go with their Verizon Wireless monthly service plans, including the LG VX5200 and the V CAST Music-enabled VX8300; Motorola V325 and the new multimedia RAZR V3m; and Samsung SCH-a930 V CAST Music-enabled phone.

Customers who purchase the Samsung SCH-a930 with a qualifying new two-year customer agreement at Wal-Mart will receive a free Samsung Bluetooth headset and a free V CAST Music Essentials Kit. The V CAST Music Essentials Kit includes music manager software, USB cable and stereo headset for V CAST Music and helps customers transfer music from their computers to their phones.

"Wal-Mart is a retail powerhouse and we are uniting the strong distribution of Wal-Mart with the best product line in the wireless industry," said John Colaiuti, vice president of national distribution for Verizon Wireless. "Our relationship with Wal-Mart is part of Verizon Wireless' ongoing effort to meet our customers where they shop. With the expanded product line-up that includes monthly service plans, Wal-Mart customers can now purchase our award-winning wireless products and services at their one-stop-shopping location."
