How we picked Ultra Mobile's phone plans
WhistleOut evaluates phone plans based on the following criteria:
-
Price & value
Not all cheap plans are “bad,” and not all expensive plans are worth it. We look at everything a plan includes and compare it both to other plans from the same carrier, as well as similar plans from competitors in the market, to determine whether the value is consistent with the price. -
High-speed data
Also called “premium” data, this is how much data you get at full 4G/5G speeds before they can or will slow down. The more guaranteed high-speed data the plan includes, the better experience you’ll generally have—but there’s also usually a limit to how much you actually need, and we ensure that you’re not overpaying for data that will go unused.
-
Plan extras and perks
In addition to the basics—talk, text, and data—some plans throw in freebies like hotspot allowances, cloud storage, entertainment subscriptions, or service discounts.
More Ultra Mobile plans
The plans we featured above aren't the only Ultra Mobile offerings. The carrier sells several other plans all offering varying allotments of high-speed data. The more data, the more expensive the plan is going to be. Though "expensive" is relative here. Ultra's costliest plan is still much lower in price than the plans you'll find from the major carriers.
Each Ultra Mobile plan includes:
- Unlimited talk and text
- Mobile hotspot
- Unlimited talk and text to over 90 international countries
- Unlimited talk and text in Mexico and Canada (not included with the Talk & Text Plan)
