Ting Mobile Review: Two Good Plans, Four to Avoid

Ting promotes two plans — unlimited at $25/mo and a $10/mo Flex line at $5/GB — and keeps four legacy tiers for sale behind a link. One of them charges the same $25 for 5GB. Here's what to buy and what to walk past.

Ting bills per line, and there are no overage charges on either plan.

Ting shows two plans on its compare page and hides four more behind a "See all plans" link. The two on display are the two worth buying. The four behind the link are still purchasable, and every one of them is beaten by the $25 unlimited plan — one charges exactly the same money for 5GB. Verified against Ting's own compare-plans page on July 31, 2026.

Key takeaways
Two plans worth buying: Unlimited 25 at $25/mo, and Flex at $10/mo plus $5/GB shared.
Four legacy tiers are still sold behind a "See all plans" link, and all four are beaten by the $25 plan — Set 5 charges the same $25 for just 5GB.
Ting Internet customers get unlimited for $10/mo — the single best reason to consider Ting.
No overage charges, no contract, no prepayment on either plan.
Hotspot, nationwide LTE/5G, and unlimited talk and text are included on both.
Flex only saves money under about 2GB/mo; past that, Unlimited 25 is cheaper.

The two plans Ting promotes

  • Unlimited 25 — $25/mo per line, unlimited high-speed data. Ting flags this as its best value, and it is.
  • Flex — $10/mo per line, unlimited talk and text, with shared high-speed data billed at $5/GB as you use it.

Both include unlimited talk and text, nationwide LTE and 5G coverage, mobile hotspot, voicemail, pay-per-use international calling rates, and — importantly — no data overage charges. There's no contract and no prepayment; you can adjust or cancel at any time.

The four plans behind the link

Ting also still sells Set 5, Set 12, Unlimited and Unlimited Pro. They aren't retired — they sit behind the "See all plans" link on the compare page, and you can buy them today. You shouldn't.

  • Set 5 — $25/mo for 5GB. The same price Ting charges for unlimited data on Unlimited 25.
  • Set 12 — $35/mo for 12GB. Ten dollars more than the unlimited plan, for a cap.
  • Unlimited — $45/mo for 22GB of high-speed data. The name is the only thing it has over the $25 plan.
  • Unlimited Pro — $55/mo for 35GB of high-speed data. Thirty dollars more than Unlimited 25.
Read the prices, not the tier names
The plan called Unlimited costs $45 for 22GB. The plan called Unlimited 25 costs $25 for unlimited high-speed data. If you pick by name rather than by price you will pay $20/mo more for less data. Anyone already on Set 5, Set 12, Unlimited or Unlimited Pro should switch to Unlimited 25 — the change is free and there's no contract holding you.
The headline deal: $10/mo unlimited with Ting Internet
Ting Internet customers get the Unlimited 25 plan for $10/mo — a $15/mo saving. That's unlimited high-speed data on a nationwide network for the price of a streaming subscription. If Ting fiber is available at your address, this is one of the cheapest unlimited lines in the country and worth switching for on its own.

Flex is for a specific person

At $10/mo plus $5/GB, Flex is cheapest only if you're genuinely on Wi-Fi nearly all the time. Two gigabytes of use puts you at $20 — at which point you're $5 from unlimited. Three gigabytes and you're paying more than Unlimited 25 for far less. Flex makes sense for a backup line, a kid's first phone, a car or tablet line, or a phone that lives on home and office Wi-Fi.

Where Ting wins

  • Ting Internet subscribers — $10/mo unlimited is close to unbeatable.
  • Anyone who wants unlimited high-speed data without a data ceiling to read the fine print on. At $25, Ting doesn't publish a throttle threshold the way most MVNOs do.
  • Households mixing usage: one Flex line for a light user, one Unlimited 25 for a heavy one, on one account.
  • People who hate overage anxiety. Ting's whole model removes it.
  • Support quality — Ting has consistently been better here than budget-carrier norms.

Where it loses

  • Taxes and fees aren't included in the advertised rate, so $25 isn't your bill.
  • International use is thin — pay-per-use calling rates and pay-per-use data, with no bundled Canada/Mexico roaming. Google Fi or Mint are stronger here.
  • No perks. There's no included streaming service, watch line, or device deal — Ting competes purely on price and simplicity.
  • Device support beyond phones is limited compared with the majors.

How many plans does Ting offer? +

Why does Ting's 5GB plan cost the same as its unlimited plan? +
Because Ting never repriced the legacy Set tiers after launching Unlimited 25. Set 5 is $25/mo for 5GB and Unlimited 25 is $25/mo for unlimited high-speed data. There is no situation in which Set 5 is the better buy.
Does Ting charge overage fees? +
No. Ting states there are no data overage charges on any plan. On Flex, data is simply billed at $5/GB as you use it.
Is hotspot included with Ting? +
Yes, mobile hotspot is included on all Ting data plans.
How do I get the $10/mo Ting Mobile plan? +
It's for Ting Internet customers — the Unlimited 25 plan drops from $25 to $10/mo, and it applies per line. You need Ting Internet service at your address to qualify.
Is there a contract with Ting? +
No. There's no contract and no prepayment required, and you can change or cancel service at any time.
Does Ting work internationally? +
Partially. Ting offers pay-per-use international calling rates and pay-per-use international data. There's no bundled international allowance, so frequent travelers should look at Google Fi or Mint instead.
