How Ting Set 12 Scores

We scored Ting Set 12 against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.

Value for money 2.0
Network & speed 7.0
Hotspot & features 5.5
Customer experience 7.0

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.

What You Get

No overage charges if you exceed the allowance
Hotspot included, drawing from your data
Billed after the month rather than prepaid
No contract; change plans any time

What You Don't Get

Costs $10/mo more than Ting's own unlimited plan
12GB instead of unlimited, for the privilege
A legacy tier Ting still sells but hides behind a "See all plans" link
No bundled international minutes
Taxes and fees are extra

How Ting Set 12 compares

The comparison is unflattering in both columns that matter.

Feature Set 12 Unlimited 25
Price $35/mo $25/mo
Data 12GB Unlimited high-speed
Annual cost $420 $300
Hotspot From plan data From plan data
With Ting Internet No discount $10/mo
Verdict No reason to buy Buy this instead

Who should skip it

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

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.
