- For LTE service, Bands 2 and 4 are required, or in some areas, Band 12
- Blackberry, Nokia Lumia 710, and Sidekick devices will either not work or have limited functionality on the WFM network

Once the phone is set, it’s time to select a Walmart Family Mobile service plan with unlimited talk, text, and the data you need.
Then you can continue following the prompts to set up your phone and finalize your account details. If you want to transfer an existing phone number, you can do that, as well.
