Looking back, 2018 was an amazing year for cord cutting. Never before has it been so easy to cut the cord and still watch the shows you love. Now, 2019 looks like it will be even better for cord cutters.
Here are five cord-cutting trends to watch for in 2019.
It’s probably been a while since you wrote a letter to Santa, but this holiday season, why not pen your own Mad Libs style Letter to Ting? We’re giving away a Samsung Galaxy Note9 to one lucky letter writer.
From December 11 to 21 we’re hosting the Letters to Ting contest on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We’ve posted a Letter to Ting with some blanks for you to fill out. All you have to do is fill in the blanks by responding to our post or by posting the letter with your answers (see below for entry details).
When you fill in the letter, you’ll be entered to win a Samsung Galaxy Note9. We’ll be announcing the winner on Friday, December 21 at noon.
Have you been really good this year? We want to hear from you!
The Internet has transformed the way we communicate, travel, work and play. It has even changed the way we parent. It presents new challenges, but also excellent opportunities for learning and growth.
If you have kids, regardless of their ages, they probably have access to the Internet at some point in their day. Whether it’s your middle schooler playing Minecraft, or your teenager chatting on social media, Internet use requires a degree of responsibility. You can’t shield kids from everything and while it’s not realistic to monitor every second of their day, keeping an open dialogue around parental controls and Internet safety certainly can help.
At Ting Internet, we like to think of parental controls as training wheels for learning to use the Internet respectfully and responsibly. Browse our guide of parental controls for platforms like YouTube and Netflix below. These practical steps, paired with an open conversation around Internet safety, can help you raise kids who have a mature awareness of the Internet.
As you will have heard, TPO is closing its North American mobile business. This isn’t quite the intro we’d hoped to have but we’re really glad you’re here. We’ve worked hard with the TPO team to make sure your migration over to Ting is as smooth and seamless as possible. Your phone number and TPO balance are safe on Ting. We’re also offering $50 in Ting credit to get you started.
Your phone number is yours. If you don’t want to use Ting, you need to make arrangements to move your number to a new carrier within 30 days of the first email TPO sent today, November 27, announcing the shutdown
With that said, we’re happy you’re here and we’re excited for you to see what smarter mobile can do and how much you can save with Ting.
If you’re a Philip DeFranco fan, you probably know that he’s a friend of Ting. Last month, he asked his Twitter followers to share their best data-saving tips for a chance to win $100 in Ting credit. Using the hashtag #smartermobile, we saw some great responses from users. If you’d like to lower your mobile data usage (and subsequently your monthly phone bill with Ting), here are some useful selections of the bunch:
#smartermobile Always, Always, Always make sure you check that you’re on the wifi the minute you get home. Check that the minute you park the car. The minute you set down your keys whatever you have to do, never waste data at home. https://t.co/nZFJ1WGBy5
