Ultra Mobile's 5GB plan for 1 line costs $24 per month.
It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.
It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 5GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 128Kbps. You can use up to all 5GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 480p quality.
The Ultra Mobile 5GB plan has deprioritized data. Having deprioritized data means you may temporarily experience slower speeds during times when the cellular network is busy. You'll resume getting the fastest speeds available when the network is no longer busy.
Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $4.37 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $28.37 per month.
Overall, I do not recommend the Ultra Mobile 5GB plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.

Get talk, text, and data service when you travel internationally.
The way international roaming works on Ultra Mobile is you add either $5, $10, or $20 of international credit to your account.
Then, minutes, texts, and data that you use while abroad are deducted from your international balance at pay-per-use rates. Common rates are $0.25 per minute, $0.05 per text sent or received, and $0.20 per MB. Keep in mind that $0.20 per MB is equivalent to $200 per GB, which is quite expensive. You may consider other options for international data.
