Get unlimited data for just $25/mo with Straight Talk — the perfect budget pairing with the upcoming Galaxy S26?
This prepaid carrier is a fantastic alternative to the big networks
If you’re eyeing up the upcoming Galaxy S26 series and want an affordable plan to match, Straight Talk’s latest deal could be a smart pairing. The carrier has a superb introductory offer that drops its unlimited data plan to $25 per month when you bring your own device or activate a new line — a super-low-cost way to offset the price of a brand-new flagship.
Dubbed the StraightSAVINGS! plan, the offer is available to new customers and existing users adding a line. New customers will need to either get an eSIM or purchase a $4.88 SIM card, and since Straight Talk operates on the Verizon network, you’ll want to double-check that you get great coverage in your area before you sign up. What's that unlimited data worth if you can't make full use of it, after all?
As a side note, Straight Talk will also throw in $50 of account credit towards an upgrade after one year. A pretty useful little promo that's great for picking up a super cheap device at the carrier's store. Although if you're on a tighter budget, you'll also find several free devices from Samsung and Motorola available at Straight Talk.

Straight Talk: get unlimited data for $25/mo, plus $50 bonus credit after 12 months
Straight Talk has an exceptional new deal for new customers, allowing you to pick up its excellent unlimited prepaid plan for just $25 per month — one of the lowest prices on the market. Not only that, but the carrier will also give you $50 of bonus credit if you stay for a full year of service. That's perfect for picking up a cheap phone at Straight Talk's online store.
Straight Talk stands out as a strong prepaid option if you’re looking to cut costs compared to major carriers like Verizon. It runs entirely on Verizon’s network, so coverage is generally solid, but it’s still worth checking coverage in your area before making the jump.
Beyond its headline deals, Straight Talk offers several prepaid tiers that may suit different needs and budgets. All plans include unlimited talk, text, and data, though the amount of high-speed priority data and extra perks differs depending on how much you’re willing to spend.
For instance, the entry-level Bronze plan includes 10GB of 5G data each month, while the more expensive Silver, Gold, and Platinum options offer unlimited 5G data. The newer StraightSAVINGS! plan doesn’t clearly outline its priority data allowance, but given its lower price point, it’s likely closer in scope to the Bronze tier than the higher-end unlimited options.
