  • Straight Talk, a prepaid subsidiary owned by Verizon under their Tracfone brand, quietly introduced a new mobile hotspot plan recently. It is also available for tablets.
    With 100GB of data for $50/month, it is significantly more compelling than any previous Straight Talk data plan.
    While it's a very flexible prepaid option with refill options, it does have some downsides.

    Y is Verizon dictating to me how I use my 100 GB. I can use it with 5 devices or 1, it's my choice. My allotted data is 100 gb. It's so dumb that everyone is moving away from Verizon.

    PLEASE HELP if you can. OK you say a cellular enabled tablet. I have an iPad Pro and it can get 5G but I have never set it up with any carrier. So my question for straight talk is do I buy the tablet Sim or do I buy a cellular Sim or are they the same? We are part time RVers and we just want to use my 12.9” screen for maps and other such things.

      A tablet plan SIM is what you need to get cellular data on a tablet, so yes essentially the same thing, although there are also SIMs that are specifically for phone plans and some specifically for hotspot plans. If you're using a tablet, you would sign up for a tablet plan. More on Straight Talk plans: www.rvmobileinternet.com/gear/straight-talk/

    Question.. I'm interested in purchasing this for a friend who is currently living in a Motel. He wants it basically for streaming movies and shows, and playing PlayStation. No online gaming, just what is required to have Internet access...
    Would this be a good fit??
    And if you reload your data, does it add on or just top off??

    • @MobileInternetResourceCenter
      @MobileInternetResourceCenter  4 місяці тому +1

      100GB isn't a lot of data for streaming video - he'd probably want to look at other options.

    So basically it's not worth the 50$ I'd save over my current 150GB/mo plan with Verizon since the Unlimited portion is so slow it's useless. Don't get me wrong, 600kbps still sucks but at least by being patient and tempering my expectations I can actually still browse the web. At 2G (50kbps) most pages and apps simply refuse to load.

    If it’s a prepaid plan, then it shouldn’t be a monthly plan. Pay $50 and get 100GB that doesn’t expire in 30 days would be better.
    The real problem with these plans is not the amount of data, but our data being cloud based. Every time your phone or tablet connects, it sends data into the cloud and downloads data out of the cloud. That is a lot of data that runs passively in the background. That’s why data limits need to be even higher at reasonable prices. I’d say at least 200gb for those $50
