Walmart Sells iPhone, But AT&T Offers $99 Price

December 30th, 2008

Walmart began selling Apple’s iPhone 3G at nearly 2,500 of its stores on Sunday. The news came just before AT&T announced Monday that it will sell refurbished iPhone 3Gs for just $99.Walmart is offering the black 8GB iPhone 3G for $197 and the 16GB black or white model for $297. Those prices are contingent on a new two-year service agreement — or a qualified upgrade — from AT&T.

“We are delighted to bring customers this groundbreaking mobile technology,” said Gary Severson, senior vice president of entertainment for Walmart stores. “Our electronics associates have been preparing for many weeks for the arrival of iPhone 3G. We are excited to now help new customers learn more about the features and services that make the iPhone unique.”
