Now Enjoy the Full iPhone Experience with Ultra

Making Your Life Even Easier With More Features

Ultra Mobile customers using an iPhone 5S and above and running iOS 12.0 and above will now have access to these popular iPhone features:

Automatic Data Settings

From now on, your data and MMS settings will be configured automatically, even when you update your iOS! No more manually entering settings for group and picture texts.

Visual Voicemail

Our iOS customers have been asking for visual voicemail from Ultra—and now we have it! You can access visual voicemail via the voicemail tab on your dialer.

Wifi Calling & Text

Now you can talk over a WiFi network, which means you no longer have to rely on network coverage alone for your calling and texting needs. If you’ve got access to WiFi you’re good to go!

VoLTE

VoLTE (aka Voice Over LTE) lets you connect calls over the LTE network. That means better quality and faster connection times for your calls!

How It All Works

You must be an Ultra Mobile customer using an iPhone 5S or above and running iOS 12.0 or above to access the new network settings and features.

I'm currently using an iOS older than 12.0

Okay, Then What?

Your data and MMS settings will kick in automatically, but you'll want to check that the following features are enabled and ready to go before using:

VISUAL VOICEMAIL

Your voicemails won’t immediately appear in your Visual Voicemail screen, even if you currently have messages in your inbox. They will appear once you get a new message, so we recommend you leave yourself a voicemail message after updating your Carrier Settings.

Wifi Calling & Text

You can enable WiFi Calling & Text by updating your phone settings. Just go to Settings > Phone > WiFi Calling

VoLTE Enabled Calling

You can enable VoLTE by updating your phone settings.
