The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get Set 12?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“$35 for 12 GB and a hotspot, no contract. That covers most of a real month for most phones.”
“Two afternoons of video streaming and the GB counter starts making you anxious. Twelve is not a lot once you stop watching.”

Our review
Ting's Set 12 plan runs $35/month for 12 GB of high-speed LTE and 5G data on T-Mobile's network.
After 12 GB, data continues at reduced speeds with no overage charges. Mobile hotspot is included and draws from the 12 GB allotment. No contract, no activation fee.
Taxes not included. Ting Internet subscribers get a $15/month discount, making this $20/month. Twelve gigabytes covers navigation, social media, music streaming, and moderate browsing for most non-video months.
It's a plan where you can use the phone normally without rationing, as long as video streaming stays on Wi-Fi.
