On entering the USA, head straight to your nearest Walmart (owners of ASDA) and purchase a Net 10 mobile (cell) phone currently for $29.88 + state tax, a total of $31.68 or 19.43 pounds sterling (calculated at a rate of $1.63 to one pound in UK sterling), if purchased in Florida. The tax charged depends on the taxable rate charged by the U.S. state, where the mobile phone was purchased. Other stores that sell Net 10 cell phones include Target, Kmart, Walgreens, HHGregg and some 7-11 gas stations. In the thanksgiving day sale in November 2009, I purchased a motorola slide phone with camera and web capabilities at Kmart reduced from $60 to $30 + tax. I have also seen Net 10 cell phones on offer as low as $15 + tax at HHGregg and $25 + tax at Walgreens. The Big Lots store sometimes offers refurbished Net 10 cell phones for $25 + tax.
