Last month my Ting cellular bill was amazingly low considering I have 4 phones. Here is how my last month’s bill broke down:
Ting Actual Bill (Oct 13 – Nov 12)
Combined Minutes (medium): $ 9.00 Combined Messages (medium): $ 5.00 Combined Megabytes (medium): $ 3.00 4 Phone Devices: $24.00 Usage Total: $41.00 Taxes and Fees: $ 3.91 Total: $44.91
Boost Mobile Hypothetical Bill
Android Device 1: $ 55.00 Android Device 2: $ 55.00 Android Device 3: $ 55.00 Android Device 4: $ 55.00 Usage Total: $220.00 Taxes and Fees: $ 3.91 Total: $223.91
Ting Saved Me $175 Last Month
If my four android devices were on Boost Mobile with unlimited plans instead of Ting it would have cost me at least $223 (assuming none of my payments had shrunk yet). It is true that I would have been able to use more minutes and more data and more text message on Boost. This isn’t about what I could have done. This is about what I actually did. My actual usage was low because we are always on wifi as a family and we don’t talk on our cell phones that much.
How Did That Happen?
As I have explained in previous posts, we are heavy wifi users. Our kids are young so their phones are mostly for emergencies or occasionally when they go over a friend’s house. The kids use almost no minutes, messages or megabytes but both of their phones are active. My wife is home on wifi a lot but she does text a lot. She also uses her cell phone from time to time. I’m home all the time so I use wifi for most things including voip calls over wifi. I do text a lot – usually with my wife so that counts as 2 texts (me sending and her receiving). We fit the perfect profile for a Ting user who saves a ton of money on cell usage. We text plenty, don’t talk that much and don’t use much data (since we’re always on wifi).
