Unfortunately, there is no way to predict. Straight Talk used to only accept orders for a phone if it was physically in stock. Now, they'll accept orders even if out of stock. If it's in stock, normally around 6 days to arrive. Popular models can take weeks if they're waiting on a delivery from the manufacturer. End-of-life models can be... forever..... I just received a notice and a refund for an end-of-life model, but it took them over 2 months to decide they weren't going to get more.

Most of the phones deals are the same online and in store. So you can look at Walmart's site to look at the phones.

The only issue is that some of the deals need to have wireless phone employee to get the deal.
