My Ting plan is about $30 per month, unlimited talk and text for 2 phones and including the first block of data we usually need. Data is billed combined at something like $5 per GB, so we really prefer to say under 1GB which is the first block.

Yes, it is a good deal. Less than half what many people pay. I could afford to buy 10GB of data for the cost difference and that is typically the limit is on many “unlimited” plans.
