Tracfone Offers Double the Data on Some Plans

Verizon’s Tracfone is doubling the amount of data available on its Unlimited Talk & Text plans. The prepaid $20 plan now offers 4 GB of monthly data, up from 2 GB, the $40 plan 20 GB, up from 10. Plans now also support hot spot functionality. “These changes are part of Tracfone’s ongoing commitment to providing affordable, reliable wireless service that meets the evolving needs of their customers,” Tracfone said Thursday: “Tracfone believes everyone deserves access to high-quality wireless service, with plans designed to minimize unexpected costs and data overages.” T-Mobile announced Tuesday it’s eliminating data caps for its Ultra Mobile prepaid offering (see 2410010007).
