TL;DR Ultra Mobile has updated its plans to include more data and enhanced international calling and roaming features.
Customers can save even more by choosing 3, 6, or 12-month payment options, which offer discounts of up to 30% per month.
Ultra Mobile is a strong option for those who frequently call or travel internationally, though there are other options that might be worth considering, like Google Fi.
T-Mobile has been gradually updating its plans across both postpaid and prepaid offerings, but these aren’t the only changes underway. After refreshing its Metro by T-Mobile plans, the carrier is now revamping its Ultra Mobile plans as well.
For those unfamiliar, Ultra Mobile was acquired along with Mint Mobile last year, but until recently, it largely operated as it always had. Early signs of change appeared when Mint Mobile started encouraging some customers to transition to T-Mobile, but these new Ultra Mobile upgrades represent the most significant change yet.
While the new Ultra Mobile plans aren’t dramatically different, here’s a quick breakdown: 500MB Plan (replaces 250MB plan): $15/month includes unlimited talk and text, 500MB of data, unlimited calling to over 90 international destinations, and unlimited texting to over 200 destinations.
