Buying Promotional Phones Legally

Summary

Purchasing promotional phones from a retailer like Walmart is generally legal if done through proper channels. Issues may arise if terms of service are violated, such as reselling against restrictions. If the phones were bought for personal use and no restrictions were communicated, legal consequences are unlikely. If reported to authorities, the police might investigate to ensure no fraudulent activity occurred, but if the purchase was legitimate, no action is expected.
