It's also great to finally see LTE on a T-Mobile MVNO not owned by Tracfone. Hopefully this means that other T-Mobile MVNOs like PTel, Brightspot, Spot and Lycamobile will be getting it soon.





Here's what the Ultra Mobile plan lineup will look like starting July 1:

1 Plus a "cost recovery fee" of 50¢ on airtime loads of $10 or less and $1 on airtime loads of $10.01 or more.

2 Additional minutes are available: 50 minutes for $1, 125 Minutes for $2.50 and 250 minutes for $5. Added minutes expire at the end of the current plan month.

3 Additional 4G data is available: 250MB for $2.50, 500MB - $5, 1GB $10. Added data replaces any remaining data in the account and expires at the end of the current plan month

4 Additional 4G data is available: 1GB for $10. Added data replaces any remaining data in the account and expires at the end of the current plan month

5 Throttled data speed is approximately 128 Kbps. Additional 4G data is available: 1GB for $10. Added data replaces any remaining data in the account and expires at the end of the current plan month.



With the $29 plan now including 500MB of data, the $39 plan no longer makes much sense as all you get for the extra $10 is heavily throttled unlimited data and an extra $2.50 in international call credit. I wouldn't be surprised see to Ultra adding more high speed data to the $39 and $40 plans soon.
