No matter which plan you choose, bring your own device is supported.
Both plans seem best suited for low use subscribers, and/or those who don't talk on their phone a lot.
No word on if these plans count as paid plans or free plans that require making successful outgoing calls every 60 days.
They released two plans without explanation. Mad Upside Down Banana and MAD Free Building Block. Banana is only available to new activations or people on Truly Free, Holding Plan, or something similar.
In typical RingPlus fashion, more questions than answers. Is Banana going to cost $3.99/regular billing cycle (30 days) or every 14 days? In one place, it says $3.99/month and in another place, it says $3.99/14 days. If that’s not bad enough, parts of the plan has Add-Ons that are 30 day items and others that are 14 day items. Also, you have to choose a variety of required Add-Ons and so far once you choose, you can’t change your mind later (most likely an oversight). The first one is either $5 activation fee or $1.99/month Tethering fee and I included all of them below.
