From BrightPencil276 re: data prioritization:
Data prioritization policies of the carriers and the MVNOs that use their networks

Verizon

Verizon uses 3 QCI classes – 7, 8, and 9.

QCI 7 is reserved exclusively for Verizon Frontline customers so this priority level may as well not exist for those of us who aren't first responders.

QCI 8 is given to the business Plus 5G, business Pro 5G, consumer postpaid plans (other than Welcome Unlimited), all of Xfinity Mobile's plans, all of Spectrum Mobile's plans, Lexvor, and MobileX. US Mobile's Warp 5G SIM offers QCI 8 data on 5G devices only. Visible+ has QCI 8 as well until 50GB of LTE/5G Nationwide data is used (5G UW is unlimited QCI 8). Total Wireless' Total 5G Unlimited and Total 5G+ Unlimited plans have unlimited priority data included.

QCI 9 goes to everything else. The Start 5G business plan, branded prepaid besides the Unlimited Plus plan, Visible's base plan, US Mobile Warp 5G when on an LTE only device, Mobi, and all other prepaid companies that use Verizon's network are known to assigned to this QCI. Anyone who uses their premium data bucket on Verizon's brands will be moved to QCI 9.


AT&T

AT&T uses QCI 6, 7, 8, and 9.

QCI 6 is reserved for FirstNet customers (with primary status), Business Unlimited Premium (only data that qualifies for Business Fast Track, the rest is QCI 7), and some corporate responsibility plans.

QCI 7 is assigned to Business Unlimited Premium as well as Unlimited Premium PL, Unlimited Extra EL, and AT&T Prepaid Unlimited Max Plus customers who pay $7 for AT&T Turbo. FirstNet extended primary plans get QCI 7 as well.

QCI 8 is assigned to Business Unlimited Advanced, Unlimited Extra EL, Unlimited Premium PL, Prepaid Unlimited Max, Prepaid Unlimited Max Plus, Cricket More, as well as plans offered by H2o, Consumer Cellular, and PureTalk. US Mobile's Dark Star offering has an addon to bump it to QCI 8 from QCI 9.

QCI 9 is assigned to Business Unlimited Starter, the base Unlimited plans for both the postpaid and AT&T Prepaid brands, Cricket Core, other known MVNOs, and all AT&T brands once their premium data buckets have been exhausted.


T-Mobile

T-Mobile uses QCI 6, 7, and 9 for phone plans.

QCI 6 goes to all branded plans, both postpaid and prepaid, besides those with Essentials in the name. Google Fi has QCI 6 as well.

QCI 7 is applied to Essentials branded plans as well as all other known MVNOs.

QCI 8 is not used for phone plans, it's used for on device hotspot and for data only plans with 30GB of more data.

QCI 9 is for those who have exhausted the data in their buckets. T-Mobile's Mobile Internet 30GB plan is also QCI 9.

Unlimited everything at Total Wireless. Unlimited 5 Mbps hotspot. Free Disney+, no ads. BYOD, Verizon network. 5 year rate lock.

If you stay on the plan, use referral(for joining), Total Rewards, discounted retail refill cards, it will be less than $20/mo. even for the top plan.

Been on top plan for 6 months. Total out of pocket so far, $120. That's without using discounted refill cards, without hustling referrals.

If you're the type that can hustle up ongoing referrals, even pay well less than all that.

I've got Mint for $20/month plus fees for the 15gb plan and it's been good.

I rarely go over 15gb so don't need unlimited but would be nice for peace of mind at the same cost.

How does this service compare to Mint? As reliable and fast?

Redpocket is $220 plus tax
The Red Pocket $220 annual deal does not have hotspot. You have to go up to the $300 plan for that.

this is not a good deal, isnt total charging only 25/month for unlim data without a one year commitment
Yep. If Total(Verizon coverage) works for you, I think the 50% off deal is too hard to pass up. And there's so many perks that reduces the costs even further.

I'm on their top $65 plan($30/mo after discounts) which really costs below $20/mo.

Add in free Disney+(no ads) and the opportunity to buy retail discounted payment cards, rates guaranteed for 5 years...like I say, too hard to pass up.

Ultra is (or at least was) Mint. I called Mint support just before the merger and they literally answered as Ultra Mobile support. Same service, different name.

See my last post. THIS is why this companies split into multiple names. To give the illusion of choice.

How does it cost $20 or less for you? I'm on the plan for 7 months now and it has nice perks but the last couple days the data has been choppy especially when I'm on a video call. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm on the 5G+ plan. $65/mo on paper, but really only $30/mo after 50% off promo and auto-pay.

Are you in the rewards program? After about 3 months you're due to get 2 free months. I already have. Hopefully when you joined you signed up for rewards and got 5000 referral points. 3000 points can be redeemed for a free month. Didn't take too long to earn another 1000 points to accrue up to another 3000 points for another free month.

Then after 12 months you get another free month(or $200 off a phone purchase). The $200 off a phone is kind of scammy, especially if you don't really need or want one of theirs, with all of their conditions for buying phones.

My out of pocket costs after 6 full months has been $120.

Going forward, I was just able to buy a $65 refill card for $46.50, after cash back. They don't like you to discuss cash back details here.

So the card buys me another 2+ months for $46.50.

It just goes on and on....lol.

As far as my signal quality, I get 650+ Mbps, inside my home, always.

I don't know where you get this information from, but have you actually DONE that:
Buy a $65 refill card for $46.50 and refill 2+ months?

Lol, yes. Cash back deals.

Bought "another" $65 refill card today for $53.30 after cash back.

Ps: It's not uncommon for Target, Kroger, etc. to discount cellular refill cards 10 - 15%.

People need to be careful with some of the retail plan cards sold in retail store.
Some prepaid refill plan cards are not the same as payment card/gift card.
A few months ago, some people mentioned that they refilled the account and got messed up their plans.

Was it a older deal? Now I see total rates as
Total 5G Unlimited $25/month w/ AutoPay, and the next one (5G+ w/ Disney etc at 30/month.
Planning to switch from Tmo, so any pointers would be appreciated.

AVOID! Have 4 lines with Ultra. Just went to activate the SIM (brand new in the packaging). Won't activate. Call them. Show them that it has "Activate by 07/01/2027" stamped on the sim card itself. They refuse to activate. Out the $120 dollars. DON'T BUY FROM ULTRA!
