Walmart Tracfone Straight Talk – Prepaid Phone Plans Released

27 January, 2010 (18:39) | Straight Talk | By: Rick

Walmart changes the prepaid phone game by getting in on the business. Will big changes really happen now that the big name retailer is in the business of prepaid cell phones and is actively pushing the TracFone Straight Talk plans as its very own set of prepaid plans?

In all seriousness, this move by Walmart may really change the industry. One thing it will immediately do is make TracFone’s Straight Talk prepaid plan the winner in what many have been calling the prepaid price way. Straight Talk is now going to win. Sure, other phone companies like Boost Mobile (which does have a very attractive prepaid plan), MetroPCS, and Cricket will be able to get in on the action since they have the backing of other retailers like Best Buy and Target, but Walmart has some serious clout behind it.

The huge retail store is marketing Straight Talk as its own plan and will be sure to make a lot of sales. That’s just what happens when a industry leader decides to push a product to its shoppers. In no way is this a bad thing, whatever your opinion of Walmart is, because TracFone’s cheap prepaid cell phone plans are some of the best in the business in terms of value.

Let’s put it this way: consumers who go with Straight Talk get good value. Some may prefer the Boost Mobile service or that of Cricket wireless (depending on where they are in the country), but Straight Talk’s service plans provide a lot for the amount of payment due each month. And in the long run, they will save many customers money over some of the other prepaid wireless providers. The unlimited plan will cover most anyone’s needs, and at $45 a month, it’s a value play.

Walmart has obviously done the research and decided to put its money on TracFone’s horse. The plans from Straight Talk seem to fit pretty much any user. For those people looking for a cell phone that will allow them to talk as much as they want, as well as use unlimited text messages and web browsing, then the Straight Talk unlimited prepaid plan may be a great option. Of course, there are other Unlimited plans like the ones from Boost Mobile and Cricket, so if you want to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal out there, cross reference the different plans.

There is a cheaper TracFone prepaid plan as well. It costs $30 and comes with 1,000 minutes of talk time, 1,000 text messages, 30 mb of web browsing, and unlimited 411 (information) call. If you use less than 1,000 text messages and less than 1,000 minutes of talk time per month and pay over thirty dollars, then this plan may be worth looking into. There are comparable plans from other wireless providers in the prepaid realm, but there are a few people in the business who claim that this plan may be one of the best in the business. It is truly an elite plan but very affordable.

When you hear talk of a “prepaid price war” or things like that, it’s important to remember that there really is no winner and no loser. The only thing that matters is that you get a prepaid plan that works for your situation. It makes no sense to purchase a plan that doesn’t fit into your mobile usage habits because it won’t work for you. If you do the research and read about the available plans, you will be able to weigh the pros and cons of each plan while comparing what they offer to your monthly needs.

How Straight Talk Works

The Straight Talk Prepay plans have been designed to compete with post paid cellphone plans. A 2 year contract mobile phone plan will require you to sign a one year or two year long term contract to get service. Straight Talk is prepaid so that you have to pay for your service prior to using it and if you use all of your units or the time period expires you lose cell service. You will not have a termination fee and in order to initiate service again you may purchase a Straight Talk Wireless Prepaid cell phone card and reactivate your cellular phone.

Tracfone Straight Talk is a partnership with Walmart, Tracfone and Verizon. All phones are CDMA and work on the Verizon Wireless network.

Tracfone Straight Talk has two programs the $30 monthly Straight Talk All You Need plan and the $45 per month Unlimited plan.

Straight Talk All You Need Plan

This plan offers 1,000 minutes per thirty days, 1,000 texts per month and 30 meg of data transfer per thirty days. This Straight Talk Prepay plan costs $30 per month.

Unlimited Plan

This Tracfone Straight Talk program gives unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data transfer for $45 per thirty days.

You can invest in your Straight Talk Prepaid Cellular phone or service on-line at Straight Talk.com or at Walmart.
