We will begin shutting down older 2G networks starting April 2, 2024 to open up valuable space for the faster 4G LTE and 5G networks.  This network upgrade will ensure our customers have the best quality and coverage possible. Impacted Ultra Mobile subscribers will be notified.

While most devices will work perfectly, 2G/3G phones along with some older 4G phones that do not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) will lose services including the ability to make emergency calls.

To ensure your service is not interrupted, you can check whether your device is compatible- click here and enter your device info.

If your device is compatible, you should be all set.  However, on some older devices you may also want to confirm the following:

1. Check to see if there are any software updates for your phone that have not been installed.

2. Ensure that VoLTE is turned on. While the naming conventions may vary, the easiest way to see if VoLTE is enabled on your phone is to check within the device’s settings: Click on the Settings icon -> click ????-> type “volte” -> click VoLTE Calls Menu -> switch the VoLTE Call Toggle to On. If after typing “VoLTE” no menu option appears, the device either does not support VoLTE or VoLTE is defaulted to On which is likely if the phone is fairly new.

iPhone

1. Open Settings
2. Select Cellular
3. Select Cellular Data Options 
4. Click Voice & Data
5. Make sure either 5G Auto or LTE is selected

Android

Broadband Labels are a set of guidelines that require internet and wireless service providers to provide clear and concise information about their broadband services. It’s like a standardized label, similar to the nutrition facts on food packaging but for wireless and internet services. Learn more here: https://www.fcc.gov/consumer-governmental-affairs/consumer-broadband-labels-glossary-terminology

The FCC has mandated that all wireless providers must display these labels at the point of sale to enhance transparency in the broadband market.

You can find them by visiting: www.ultramobile.com/plans.

The labels provide a quick snapshot of important plan information, such as cost, data limits, and performance, making it easier for you to compare and choose the right option for your needs.

Once you’ve established a Primary line, that line will then add Secondary lines to create an Ultra Mobile Family Plan. New customers can be activated and added as Secondary lines and existing Ultra Mobile customers can be invited to join an Ultra Mobile Family Plan.

The first line is $49/mo, but each line after that (up to 4) is only $24/mo per line. That is $25 of savings per plan, and you can save up to $100 a month with a Family Plan if you purchase all four additional lines.

To start a family account, you need to be on a 1-Month Unlimited Plan. To add any current Ultra subscriber to your Family Account, they can be on any plan as long as they are either in the last month of that plan cycle, or they are on a 1-Month plan. After a Secondary Line is added to the family, they will eventually be converted to the same plan that the Primary Line is on, but with the Add-A-Line discount. The 1-Month Unlimited Plan is the only plan that is currently eligible for the Family Account.

The Primary Line manages and pays the monthly cost for the entire family. The Primary Line can also add or remove Secondary Line(s) from the Family Account. The Primary is responsible for managing the family and making sure that the renewals are paid on time so that every line in the family can remain active.
The Secondary Line can remove themself from the Family Account, and the Secondary Line can also pay their renewal cost every month if they so choose. The Primary is ultimately responsible to pay the outstanding renewal balance each month, but each Secondary line can theoretically pay their own monthly cost if they want to, but they can ONLY pay for their own line.

Within 24 hours of activation, a Secondary Line can initially decline being added to the account via text message. After a Secondary Line has been activated, you can still remove them from the Family by either visiting your local Ultra Mobile Retailer for assistance, or you can log in to your account online or in the Ultra Mobile App and remove the Secondary Line yourself under the “Manage Family” tab.

Customers looking to create an Ultra Mobile Family Plan must start with our 40GB Unlimited plan. Any user subscribed to our 40GB Unlimited plan for $49/month can add up to four secondary lines for just $24/month each. Existing Ultra customers can switch to our 40GB unlimited plan to create an Ultra Mobile Family Plan or new customers can activate on the 40GB Unlimited plan and create a Ultra Mobile Family Plan.   

To make a payment to your Family Account you can either:

-Visit your local Ultra Mobile Retailer

– Log in to your Ultra Mobile account online or in the app and click on “Make a Payment”

Only the Primary Account can have Auto Renew on. Secondary Accounts can’t have Auto Renew.

Any Ultra Customer, new or existing, can sign up for Family Plan and have a Primary or Secondary Account.

All lines must be on the Unlimited Single-Month Plan.

The entire balance, for all lines, must be paid by the due date or all the lines will be suspended.

You can renew your PayGo plan by:

Yes. All Ultra Mobile plans include Call Me Free.

No. Currently we are offering unlimited access to Call Me Free for both international users making calls and Ultra Mobile subscribers receiving calls.

Our Call Me Free access numbers are regular landline numbers around the world. Anyone who calls them will incur whatever costs they normally have for making calls to landlines in that city. Some callers may have included minutes, free local calling, nights and weekends or other options in their phone service that makes calling these numbers free. We cannot determine that.

It is the responsibility of the calling party to understand and assume any costs associated with calling our local numbers. Call Me Free makes the international leg of the call free, but it does not cover the cost of the local leg of the originating call.

No. Call Me Free service comes standard on all of our plans. There are no additional costs to receive Call Me Free calls.

No. Call Me Free calls are inbound calls that don’t count against your international credit. They are included as part of your plan.

No. Call Me Free is designed for people outside the US to call our subscribers. It cannot be used the other way around. If an Ultra subscriber calls a Call Me Free number, it will count as an international call against their credit.

We encourage Ultra Mobile subscribers to share Call Me Free numbers with friends and family around the world. Access numbers will be available online at ultramobile.com/call-me-free/

There are two reasons why we may not have coverage in a country: Telecom regulations in that country do not allow us to buy phone numbers or offer this service. We can get access numbers, but call quality does not meet our standards.

In some cases, yes. If there is sufficient demand for an access number in a specific city, we can check for availability and add that number if its available.

While we do not offer recurring UpRoam add-ons, you can add UpRoam manually every month. Additionally, UpRoam credit rolls over and will not expire as long as your account is active.

You can check your roaming balance in the following ways:

In your online account – Sign into your online account to check Roaming Balance

With a Retailer – Visit the nearest Ultra Retailer.

With a Text Message – text UPROAM to 6700, and you will receive a text message with your roaming balance.

By calling Customer Care – Dial 1.888.777.0446 to talk to a representative.

UpRoam is an add-on that all Ultra subscribers can purchase allowing them to talk, text and use data while roaming outside the US. You can add $5, $10, or $20 of roaming credit at a time. When you purchase an UpRoam add-on, the funds are immediately applied to your account. If you want more than $20 of roaming credit, you will have to purchase additional add-ons. You can purchase UpRoam in $5, $10 and $20 denominations, in the following ways:

In your online account Sign in to your online account and purchase more INTL Roaming credit

Here is how Call Me Free works: We supply you with a local phone number, and you’ll give it to the person who will be calling you from another country. The person uses that number to reach you directly, and they will only be charged for a local call. You won’t be charged anything extra for the incoming call. Note: Ultra Mobile members should not use a “Call Me Free” number to dial internationally–doing so will decrease international minutes. Find out more about Call Me Free.

Check the Country Code and International Number You’re Dialing
Another common cause of problems with international calling is an incorrect country code. Please make sure that you are dialing 011 or + before the international number that you intend to call.

uTalk can be added to any Single-Month or Multi-Month plan for an additional $10 per month.
