Tracfone brands Simple Mobile and Total Wireless have expanded retail availability by launching in Sam's Club. The move was first observed by industry analysts at Wave7 Research. Both brands are also carried in other big box stores including Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
The expansion comes as part of the ongoing efforts by some phone service providers to seek out new revenue streams and increase brand awareness that further differentiate them from competitors. Just recently, both Total Wireless and Simple Mobile expanded product offerings by partnering with doc.com to offer Telehealth services. And last November, Simple Mobile launched a hotspot plan for the connected car.
