Straight Talk Wireless — a Verizon prepaid brand sold exclusively by Walmart — has upgraded its premium "Gold" and "Platinum" mobile service plans to offer more value for the same monthly price. Both plans now include unlimited "premium" data that won't be de-prioritized (slowed down) when and where Verizon's network is congested. Both plans also now include access to Verizon's faster "Ultra Wideband" 5G network operating at mid-band and mmWave frequencies. The plans also now include more hotspot data, doubling from 15 GB to 30 GB on the Gold plan, and from 20 GB to unlimited on the Platinum plan. Straight Talk is also adding $100 in annual device credits toward phone upgrades. Finally, the plans also offer special access to discounted home internet service. Pricing is unchanged at $50/month (with auto-pay, $55/month without) for the Gold Unlimited plan, and $10 more for the Platinum Unlimited plan. The new plans are available online now, and in Walmart stores starting January 20th.
