Basically, the prepaid brand will support United Way’s work with 211, a free, 24/7 service that connects people to critical local resources, including Lifeline, with professional Community Resource Specialists handling over 42,000 calls daily in more than 180 languages.
These announcements come just a few weeks after Walmart announced that price hikes were coming due to President Trump’s tariffs. Of course, the Walmart Family Mobile is owned by Verizon and has nothing to do with the chain store, but everyone can see the irony.
