Straight Talk TracFone Prepaid Plans Released Nationwide

By Chris M Mccarthy

Straight Talk prepaid phones will now be available for purchase nationwide in Wal-Mart stores. The brand of cell phone, which is owned by TracFone and will run on the Verizon wireless network, comes in two plans.

The first plan, which costs $30, includes 1,000 minutes and 1,000 text messages. In addition, it comes with 30 MB of data usage, which is used primarily for web browsing. This should be enough for many cell phone users, and particularly those who tend to use their phone mainly for calling and texting.

If you are in the latter category of person, then this first plan may be sufficient for you. 1,000 minutes is well over what the average cell phone user uses per day, and the allotment of text messages averages out to 33 per day. If you send and receive over 33 text messages per day, then you may want to consider the second plan from Straight Talk prepaid.

The Straight Talk unlimited plan costs $45 and provides unlimited talk time and unlimited text messages. It’s a very affordable plan and should be good for many people who use their cell phones quite frequently. This plan used to come with 30 MB of web browsing, but now has been upgraded to include unlimited data usage, which really just sweetens the deal.

Prepaid phones have really come to prominence in recent months as people have begun to see how affordable an option this kind of mobile plan can be. Many people overpay for their cell phone bills, and pay as you go plans (which is an interchangeable phrase with “prepaid”) are a great way to cut back on expenses.

It would be one thing if prepaid wireless plans were how they used to be, but their has been a definite shift into what you could call the “A-game,” as prepaid providers have really stepped up and are willing to compete for your business. Straight Talk plans are not the only ones out there, however. Boost Mobile has an unlimited plan, as do MetroPCS and Cricket. AT&T even recently sweetened the pot by making its prepaid plan slightly more attractive to a wider audience, modifying its GoPhone plans.

The most important thing you can do while searching for the right plan is to establish exactly what you need out of your phone plan. Figure out how many minutes of talk time you use each month as well as other services, and compare your needs to a given offer. Good luck.

Walmart Straight Talk is prepaid so you pay for your service prior to using it and if you utilize all of your units or the time period expires you lose service. You will not have to pay a end of contract fee and if you want to restart service just as before you may buy a Walmart Straight Talk phone card and reactivate your cellular.
