Sporadic Reports of Walmart Offering 16 GB AT&T iPhone 4S for $114 [Updated]

Update: Walmart issued a statement to 9to5Mac saying the chain "experienced a pricing error in limited stores" and that the issue has since been corrected. The correct Walmart pricing for the 16GB iPhone 4S is $188; iPhone 4 at $88; and iPhone 3GS at $0.97."
At that price they'd make great iPods or even calculators . . . somehow I have a feeling that's a typo however.

man.. I would hate to be the holder of AAPL shares when the day comes where Apple has to drop its current gen iPhone to $114 just to generate sales..
Straight Talk is an MVNO that buys wholesale access from AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Straight Talk is a discount brand of TracFone (itself a discount branded company) which is the US operations of America Movil, the Mexican telecom giant.
You can purchase an AT&T or T-Mobile compatible SIM from Straight Talk. I have the AT&T compatible one and it connects directly to the same AT&T towers. Same performance as any iPhone user on an AT&T contract at a 44% discount. And I'm not locked into a contract.
Straight Talk sells some handsets that work on Sprint's CDMA network. I'm not sure if you can bring another CDMA phone to Straight Talk and get them to activate it (I would sort of doubt it).
You can bring your AT&T iPhone to Straight Talk and get it to work, it doesn't even need to be unlocked. You just need to change the APN setting, which takes about a minute.

AAPL dropped another $16.57 today.... Related?
What gives you the right to spew your mindless garbage at my response? It's simply not a very good company.
Perhaps I should explain. They've come under fire many times for treatment of their staff, and they put a lot of pressure on local businesses around them.
hehe... I was having fun with it. I should have worded it differently though. I don't really get angry at comments on here like it would suggest.
No problems with T-Mobile on my phone.
At least Walmart is not hyphenated here.
If it is AT&T, then I would not touch it. They are all about the dollar and nothing about service to the customer.
Since we pay more for the monthly service over the course of two years, the phones should be free on any carrier that requires a contract.
Either is acceptable.
The legal name of the company is Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. That's what is on their tax returns and SEC filings. If you are a shareholder, the prospectuses will have that on them, as will the proxy ballot.
"Walmart" is a trademark of the company and collectively describes the company and its stores. For marketing/branding purposes, the company prefers to use the trademarked name rather than the legal name.
how cute, i got my iPhone 4S for $1
I'm a year late.. Ha ha
But this is funny. My step mom has a plan with Wally World and get this she may be the only person I know that wished they were back on AT&T. She swears the service albeit they "come from the se place " thinks the service stinks.
