TL;DR
- Straight Talk has updated 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 extended international privileges and savings on home internet packages.
It’s not unusual for your carrier to give you more without asking for more money in return. Straight Talk is bucking that trend with a recent update to its unlimited plans, adding more hotspot data, international benefits, and faster 5G access to the cheapest tier, all without raising monthly base prices.
According to A Verizon press releaseThe big winner is the $45-per-month Silver Unlimited plan, which now includes access to 5G Ultra Wideband. Verizon claims this delivers speeds three times faster than standard 5G. The $55 Gold and $65 Platinum plans already have access to ultra-wide, so this is a particularly welcome upgrade for Silver subscribers, who haven’t seen their plan’s base price increase since 2009.
