Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect in terms of signal strength and coverage from Ting?
The map above is a strong indication of what you can expect from Ting. You will generally experience good reception in areas listed as "Good" or "Best" in the map above. You may experience weaker reception in other areas.
We also suggest that all new customers have a look at third party coverage maps. Here are a couple we recommend: Sensorly, RootMetrics, and Open Signal
Does Ting charge domestic roaming fees?
No! Ting does not charge any additional fees for domestic voice roaming (although you may see a roaming indicator on your phone in some locations).
Currently Ting does not offer domestic data roaming.
What about international coverage?
If you are planning to use your phone outside of the USA you should check out these two pages outlining our coverage and rates: Traveling outside the USA & International Calling
Does Ting have the same coverage as Sprint?
For voice, 4G WiMax and 4G LTE data, our coverage is the same as Sprint.
For 3G data, our coverage is slightly more restrictive, since we do not offer domestic data roaming.
Does my device type affect my coverage?
Yes. Certain phones and devices will have a stronger antenna than others, which will definitely play a role in the signal strength you receive. We recommend researching our various devices to determine which one will fit your needs.
What is the difference in data speeds for 3G, 4G and 4G LTE?
| Data Connection | 4G LTE | 4G (WiMax) | 3G |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upload | 2-3 Mbps | Up to 1.5 Mbps | 350-500 Kbps |
| Download | 6-8 Mbps | 3-6 Mbps | 600 Kbps - 1.4 Mbps |
| Peak | 25 Mbps | More than 10 Mbps | 3.1 Mbps |
I am in an area with no coverage; can I still sign up for Ting?
Unfortunately there are some areas in the USA where Ting will be unable to provide you with service. Although we wish we could cater to everyone, offering service outside of Sprint coverage is something that is just not possible at this time.
