Ting Mobile Plans
Six plans, and the interesting thing about the lineup is how little sense four of them make. Unlimited 25 is unlimited for $25 — the same price as the 5GB plan and half the price of the tier called Unlimited.
Ting sells two plans on the front of its compare page and hides four more behind a "See all plans" link. The two on display are the two worth buying: Flex at $10/mo plus $5 per gigabyte, and Unlimited 25 at $25/mo flat.
The four legacy tiers behind the link are the ones to be careful with. Set 5 costs $25 for 5GB — exactly what Unlimited 25 costs for unlimited data. The plan actually named "Unlimited" is $45 for 22GB of high-speed data, and Unlimited Pro is $55 for 35GB. Both are beaten by the $25 plan on price and on allowance, and they're still sold.

What it really costs
Read the lineup in one line and the conclusion is unavoidable: Unlimited 25 is $25 for unlimited data, and Set 5 is $25 for five gigabytes. Ting sells both. There is no usage pattern where the capped plan is the better buy.
The two upper tiers are worse still. The plan named Unlimited is $45 for 22GB of high-speed data and Unlimited Pro is $55 for 35GB — both more expensive than the $25 plan Ting describes as unlimited high-speed. If you're on one of them, the switch is free and immediate.
The Ting Internet discount is the biggest single lever here. $15/mo off Unlimited 25 brings it to $10, which makes bundling worth checking even if Ting Internet is only marginally competitive with your current provider.
Flex maths out simply: $10 plus $5 per gigabyte. One gigabyte is $15, two is $20, three is $25 — the point where Unlimited 25 becomes strictly better. Track a month of real usage before choosing between them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Ting Mobile cost?
Six plans: Flex at $10/mo plus $5 per gigabyte, Unlimited 25 at $25/mo, Set 5 at $25, Set 12 at $35, Unlimited at $45 and Unlimited Pro at $55. Taxes and fees are extra, and Ting bills after your first month rather than prepaying.
Which Ting Mobile plan is the best value?
Unlimited 25 at $25/mo, for nearly everyone. It's unlimited high-speed data at the same price Ting charges for 5GB on Set 5, and $20 less than the tier named Unlimited. Below about 2GB of monthly usage, Flex at $10 plus $5/GB is cheaper.
Does Ting still sell the Set and Unlimited Pro plans?
Yes — they sit behind the "See all plans" link on Ting's compare page rather than being retired. Set 5 is $25 for 5GB, Set 12 is $35 for 12GB, Unlimited is $45 for 22GB of high-speed data and Unlimited Pro is $55 for 35GB. All four are beaten by Unlimited 25.
How much is Ting Mobile with Ting Internet?
$10/mo. Ting takes $15/mo off Unlimited 25 for Ting Internet customers, which is the largest bundling discount attached to any plan on this page.
Does Ting Mobile include hotspot?
Yes, on every plan. Hotspot draws from your plan's own data rather than having a separate allowance, so on Flex it costs $5 per gigabyte like anything else and on Unlimited 25 it comes out of your unlimited pool.
Are there overage charges on Ting?
No. Ting states there are no data overage charges on any plan. On Flex you're billed $5 for each gigabyte you actually use rather than being penalised for passing a threshold, and the capped Set plans reduce speed instead of billing you.
