Ting Phones

Ting is a cellphone service provider that I have used for over 3 years.  I like it because it has good service and can cost less than $15/month, post-paid, with no contracts.  You can use most Sprint-branded and unlocked phones on Ting.   Ting supports both CDMA and GSM phones. 


I previously had cellphone service with Verizon and AT&T. Ting is less hassle and less money, but the Sprint CDMA network used by Ting has a smaller footprint, so in remote areas the signal strength might not be as strong.

I have the pay-as-you-go, usage-based pricing, so my bill will vary depending on how much I use. Ting also has an unlimited, fixed price plan for those who need it. Ting is no longer the low-price leader, but the customer service has always been good, the few times that I've needed it.

This review mis-identifies Ting as a prepaid service, but is otherwise accurate.

This month, Ting has a special $20/month plan with 20GB data, and unlimited talk and text. This is so tempting, I might upgrade, except the special pricing ends on 1 Jan 2020..

I decided to not upgrade. Last month my bill was $21, $6 more than usual. I used a lot of talk minutes, I guess.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    For westerners, this is the other side of the world, where everything is exotic and unfamiliar.  Piracy is still a problem on the Java Sea, and English is not widely spoken. The Java Sea is about 1,600 km long,  400 km wide, and loiters loosely between the islands of Borneo to the north, Java to the south, Sumatra to the west, and Sulawesi to the east. The equator is a few degrees north, so...
