So there is evidently a policy from wal-mart that they will not sell any more than 2 prepaid phones to one person. The reason? Pretty much they underpricing everybody so much dealers, and pretty much anyone on the street, can go buy the prepaid phones at wal-mart without any service and resale them at a profit. The truth is Wal-Mart sales the phones cheaper than you can buy the phones directly from the dealer as one of their agents or somewhere else. Evidently Wal-Mart has this vast need to sell that many prepaid phones that they are selling them probably cheaper than what they are actually buying them. In which they make the money back from the service providers after they are activated. Which by their pricing can not be very much that they are making per phone.
