Straight Talk gives customers who bring their own phones more data

Straight Talk has a nice weekend surprise for both old and new Bring Your Own Phone customers. The prepaid carrier has just upped its $45-per-month plan's data allowance from 3GB to 5GB for anyone who didn't purchase their phone straight from the company. New customers only need to register a compatible device and order a SIM to take advantage of the promo, while old faithfuls won't have to do anything at all: they'll get access to 5GB their next refill. Hopefully, the virtual network operator has cleaned up its act since the FTC fined it for throttling customers' connections too much, so people can actually enjoy the higher data cap.
