Pricing: paying more for less, by $120 a year

Set 12 is $35/mo for 12GB. Unlimited 25 is $25/mo for unlimited high-speed data. This plan asks $10 more a month, $120 a year, to take a cap you don't need.

Nothing else differs. Same network assignment, same hotspot from your own data, same no-overage policy, same billing. With Ting Internet at home the gap widens to $25/mo, since Unlimited 25 drops to $10.

Choose it if

✓Honestly, we can't name a case: Unlimited 25 is $10 a month cheaper with unlimited data
✓Only if you're already on it and don't want to touch your account, though switching is free and saves $120 a year

Skip it if

✕Always: Unlimited 25 is $10/mo cheaper with unlimited data
✕You're already on it; switching saves $120 a year
✕You have Ting Internet, which drops Unlimited 25 to $10/mo
✕You want the cheapest Ting line: that's Flex at $10 plus usage

Final Verdict

3.8/10 · Ting Set 12

A worse plan for more money. Set 12 charges ten dollars a month above Ting's unlimited tier and gives you a 12GB ceiling in return. It exists because Ting keeps its legacy plans available to old customers, not because anyone should choose it. Switching to Unlimited 25 is free, immediate and saves $120 a year.

Consider instead: Ting Unlimited 25. Ten dollars a month less for unlimited high-speed data instead of 12GB. There is no argument for Set 12 over this.
