TL;DR
- Straight Talk has upgraded its unlimited plans without increasing its monthly base prices.
- The $45 Silver plan now includes 5G Ultra Wideband, while Silver and Gold get more hotspot data.
- Customers also benefit from expanded international perks and savings on Home Internet bundles.
It’s not often that your mobile carrier gives you extra without asking for more money in return. Straight Talk is bucking that trend with the latest refresh of its unlimited plans, adding more hotspot data, international benefits, and faster 5G access to its cheapest tier, all without raising monthly base prices.
According to a Verizon press release, the biggest winner is the $45-per-month Silver Unlimited plan, which now includes access to 5G Ultra Wideband. Verizon claims this offers speeds three times faster than standard 5G. The $55 Gold and $65 Platinum plans already had Ultra Wideband access, so this is a particularly welcome upgrade for Silver subscribers, who haven’t seen their plan’s base price increase since 2009.
