"So since it's "Out of Stock" right now,"

It looks like it may not have been released yet. If you try the "buy in store" option it won't let you have it until Friday.

This also seems to be perhaps a rev on their $20 phone: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Net10-LG-Lucky-Prepaid-Smartphone/...

Can you really buy these with no service plans?

No service plan is required. I think the software is even more aggressively bonded to TracFone service than is usual though.

(TracFone is the company behind many of the phones at Walmart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TracFone_Wireless )
