Pricing: $240 a year for a worse allowance

This plan is $45/mo with 22GB of high-speed data. Unlimited 25 is $25/mo with unlimited high-speed data. The cheaper plan is better on both price and allowance, the only thing this one has is the shorter name.

Across a year that's $540 against $300, or against $120 if you have Ting Internet. It's the most expensive mistake available in Ting's lineup for a single line.

Choose it if

✓Honestly, we can't name a case: Unlimited 25 is $20 a month cheaper with more high-speed data
✓Only if you're already on it and don't want to touch your account, though switching is free and saves $240 a year

Skip it if

✕Always: Unlimited 25 is $20/mo cheaper with a higher allowance
✕You're already on it; switching saves $240 a year
✕You picked it because of the name: check the allowance column
✕You have Ting Internet, which drops Unlimited 25 to $10/mo

Final Verdict

3.5/10 · Ting Unlimited ($45)

The clearest naming trap we've seen in prepaid. Anyone shopping by plan name will assume "Unlimited" beats "Unlimited 25". It doesn't, on either price or data. This is a legacy tier charging $240 more a year for a 22GB high-speed ceiling instead of no ceiling at all. If you're on it, switch to Unlimited 25 today; it's free and takes effect immediately.

Consider instead: Ting Unlimited 25. Twenty dollars a month less, and genuinely unlimited high-speed data instead of a 22GB ceiling. The plan the name should belong to.

Frequently Asked Questions
