Why you should switch to Ting for your wireless mobile needs
A few weeks ago I called my cell phone provider, Sprint, to add a phone number to my Family Plan. I wasn’t subsidizing a new phone, I just wanted to add a number and activate an old Android phone that I already own. Hidden in all of the fast talk was something about a two-year commitment, so when the guy eventually stopped talking I asked if they were going to lock me into another two-year contract for simply adding another number to my plan even though I wasn’t subsidizing a new phone. There answer, “Yes, it helps us provide great customer service.” “Never Mind”, was my response, and so began my search for a new provider. |
Let’s get back to three weeks ago: I was checking out some pre-paid plans from Boost and Virgin Mobile since they work on the Sprint network and would be compatible with all of the devices that I already own. That’s when I came across Ting, a lesser known company with a simple philosophy that just makes sense: Picture and Video Messaging? FREE. Voicemail? FREE. Call Forwarding? FREE. Three-way Calling? FREE. Tethering? FREE. Want to use your phone as a Wireless Hotspot? FREE. Number Porting (in or out)? FREE. Account Cancellation anytime I want - FREE. |
Being the geek that I am, I ran the numbers and figured out the following: Look at my numbers for yourself by clicking on the image to the left. I took the past four months of Sprint bills and added up all of my usage. Then I applied that four months of usage to Ting to find out how much I could save... $120 per month with my five devices! You can do a quick calculation for yourself on Ting's Savings Calculator page. |
If you decide to make the switch, Ting has authorized me to give you a $25 credit towards the purchase of a Ting phone or a $25 credit on your new account. When you're ready to make the switch, please use this link to get started so you can get your $25 credit.
