Prices are from Straight Talk’s phone plans page, read on October 8, 2026. Taxes and fees are extra.

Auto Pay gives a small discount for the first three months only: Silver drops to $42.50, Gold to $50, Platinum to $60 and Bronze to $34.

Paying ahead saves more than Auto Pay does. Silver Unlimited costs $120 for three months, $210 for six, or $360 for a year. The yearly price works out to $30 a month against $45.

Which network does Straight Talk use?

Verizon’s, for new customers. The catch is in the small print: “Some premium plan features only available to customers on the Verizon network. All other customers can expect” a shorter list. So some Straight Talk lines are not on Verizon. The site does not name the other networks.

That matters when you compare plans. A Gold or Platinum line that is not on Verizon’s network gets less hotspot data than the table above shows.

Does Straight Talk support eSIM?

Yes. Its eSIM page says, “Once you know your phone is eSIM ready, just pick a plan and activate service.”
