How Ting Unlimited ($45) Scores

We scored Ting Unlimited ($45) against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.

Value for money 1.8
Network & speed 7.0
Hotspot & features 5.8
Customer experience 6.5

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.

What You Get

No overage charges
Hotspot included, drawing from your data

What You Don't Get

Costs $20/mo more than Ting's genuinely unlimited plan
The name implies more data than the cheaper plan actually has less of
22GB high-speed ceiling despite the word Unlimited
A legacy tier Ting still sells but hides behind a "See all plans" link
Taxes and fees are extra

How Ting Unlimited ($45) compares

Read the two columns, not the two names.

Feature Unlimited ($45) Unlimited 25
Price $45/mo $25/mo
High-speed data 22GB Unlimited
Annual cost $540 $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 $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

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much is Ting's Unlimited plan?

$45/mo with 22GB of high-speed data, plus taxes. Ting's Unlimited 25 plan is $25/mo with unlimited high-speed data.

Why is the plan called Unlimited worse than Unlimited 25?

Because it's a legacy tier from an older lineup. Unlimited 25 was introduced later at a lower price with a better allowance, and Ting kept the old plan available for existing customers.

Is 22GB really the limit?

22GB is the high-speed allowance, after which speeds are reduced. Ting doesn't charge overage, but the fast data stops at 22GB.

How much would switching save?

$240 a year, or $420 a year if you have Ting Internet and qualify for the $10/mo rate on Unlimited 25.
