In a wireless market full of price hikes and promotional bait-and-switches, the affordable-but-fast Ultra Mobile is taking a refreshing step in the opposite direction. The low-cost carrier, which operates on T-Mobile’s stellar network, just gave its entire plan lineup a major value bump — without touching the price tag (Source: T-Mobile).
Big upsides, no downsides
Improvement for the sake of customers? That’s crazy talk
Starting today, Ultra Mobile subscribers (new and existing alike) are getting more high-speed data, more international calling perks, and more ways to save with multi-month discounts. All of this comes with the same pricing that’s been around for over a decade.
As far as we can tell, there don’t appear to be any gimmicks or rug-pulls involved. It’s a powerful upgrade that’s only possible because Ultra Mobile is a wholly owned MVNO that operates under T-Mobile’s powerful nationwide network. Third-party carriers responsible for maintaining their own leases might not have the same flexibility. But T-Mobile and Ultra seem to realize that customers want affordable prepaid plans, without additional fees or cumbersome restrictions that sometimes come with subscribing to an MVNO.
At Ultra Mobile, we don’t follow the crowd — we lead with customer-driven improvements. More data, more international perks, and the same low prices. It’s our way of saying, ‘we’ve got you.’ — Scott Venuti, Commercial Owner of Ultra Mobile
Here’s what Ultra now offers
Plan upgrades that actually deliver
Ultra Mobile has overhauled its most popular plans. The $15 starter plan now includes 500MB of data (up from 250MB), while higher-tier options get even better:
- $19/month: 4GB (was 3GB) + expanded North America calling
- $24/month: 8GB (was 5GB)
- $29/month: 12GB (was 10GB) + bigger international calling credit
- $39/month: 24GB (was 15GB) + 5GB of high-speed data in Mexico
- $49/month Ultra Unlimited: Unlimited everything + 10GB hotspot, now with $10/month in international calling and roaming credit
- $59/month Ultra Unlimited+: All of the above plus 25GB hotspot and boosted global credits
There’s nothing customers need to do — these changes are live today, and everyone’s getting the upgrade.
Deeper Discounts for Committing Longer
If you’re the type to prepay and forget, Ultra’s got even better news. The more months you pay upfront, the more you save:
- 10% off 3-month plans
- 20% off 6-month plans
- 30% off 12-month plans — up to $216 in annual savings
For anyone trying to stretch a budget without compromising on features (especially international ones), that’s a compelling offer.
New Look, Same Mission
Ultra has even updated its branding. Out goes the old SIM card logo, in comes a modern globe — a nod to its global-first approach and the growing eSIM adoption that makes cross-border connectivity easier than ever.
In a world where most carriers are cutting perks or reserving them for new customers only, Ultra Mobile’s across-the-board upgrade is a rare win for wireless users — especially those who want more for less, and without jumping through hoops.

Ultra Mobile’s plans still start at the same low prices, but just got a major value boost with higher data caps and international roaming.
