Walmart Inc (WMT.N) said on Thursday it would give nearly half its U.S. employees free Samsung (005930.KS) phones by the end of the year so they can use an app the company has developed to manage shifts, clock in and stay in 'constant communication.'

Walmart declined to share financial details, but the phone sells at $499.99 on Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's website. It is common for big companies to strike heavily discounted deals with carriers and device makers when buying corporate phones in bulk. People will only be able to access work apps while on their shifts, but can use the phones as personal devices, Walmart said.
