WE ’R E W I T H YO U Recent global events have thrown the world into an unprecedented moment of uncertainty affecting our families, businesses, communities and way of life. We want to assure you that we at Ultra Mobile will continue to support our Retailers and Customers during these times of uncertainty. Here’s how we’re doing it:
WE’RE GIVING CUSTOMERS FREE DATA Right now, reliable communication is of utmost importance and we want to help our Customers. That’s why we’re giving Customers FREE 4G LTE add-ons from now through 5/14/20. All Customers on Single-Month and Multi-Month Plans will receive free 4G LTE data except those who already have unlimited data.
Instructions for Customers To Get Free 4G LTE •
• • •
•
Download or update to the most recent version of the Ultra Mobile app. If you don’t know your password click “Send Password to My Device” from the Ultra app home screen. From the home screen select the + button next to 4G LTE Data Add a 3GB add-on for free (1GB add-ons are not free) You may only add one 3GB add-on at a time. 95% of the data add-on must be used before you can add an additional 3GB add-on. Add up to fifteen 3GB add-ons during your 30 day plan cycle. If you switch to a lower data plan, you will not be able to get free 3GB add-ons Full details and additional instructions here: ultramobile.com/freedata
CUSTOMERS GET $5 INTL CALL CREDIT FREE In our effort to help keep Customers in touch with friends and loved ones worldwide, we’re giving $5 International Call Credit to all new Multi-Month Plan Customers and Single-Month Unlimited Customers. Customers have already been notified and the credit has been automatically applied to their account.
Reminder: How to Dial International Numbers Dial 011 + country code + phone number to call internationally everywhere outside the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). If you are calling countries within the NANP (Canada, US Territories, and most of the Caribbean), just dial the 10 digit international number as you would for a regular domestic phone call. No access numbers needed here – Ultra Mobile allows for International Direct Dialing!

How to Stay Connected with Customers with Customers If Your Store is Closed The rapid spread of COVID-19 has affected every life and business around the world. Our priority is doing whatever we can to help you stay in business, and keep your Customers connected. Here are a few tips to help you stay close with your Customers during this challenging time.
Provide Solutions For Your Customers Your Customers may be worried about the interruption of their service. Communicate to your Customers that there are several ways they can keep their service running: 3 Ways Customers Can Recharge Their Plans • By texting MENU to 6700 • By logging into account management at my.ultramobile.com • By downloading the Ultra Mobile app from the App Store or Google Play and logging in. If you don’t know your password click “Send Password to My Device” from the Ultra app home screen. Tip: The app is the easiest way for Customers to Recharge their plan, add-on their free data, and more!
Forward Calls From Work To Home Did you know the calls going to your store phone number can be redirected to your personal number? Use a Call Forwarding Service like Grasshopper to have your phone calls redirected and be able to work from home. Your Customers trying to reach you will appreciate it! You can also schedule an on-call Employee for each day. Post their phone number to the window so you can share the responsibility of helping customers by phone.
Keep In Touch With Your Team Create a group message with your Employees so you can stay in touch as things can change quickly. Discuss what messaging service (for example, WhatsApp) to use and communicate regularly with Employees regarding any changes to your operations.
Connect with Customers Online Now is a great time to update your store’s social media pages so you can keep in contact with Customers and reassure them you’re there to help with their wireless needs. You can also use your store’s social media pages to sell merchandise by posting pictures online and shipping the products. The Customers who need it will appreciate it.
Complete Tasks That Usually Fall to the Wayside If you find yourself with extra time in your store, now is a perfect time to do the tasks you have been meaning to get to. Try organizing your merchandise or cleaning and tidying your store to make for a better Customer experience. Make the most of this time to position your business for success when things return to normal.
Utilize Your Retail Space Even though your store is closed, try to utilize the window to direct Customers to account management (see tip above) with signs. You can also use this space to provide your contact info for assistance, as well as on your store’s social media pages. Help Customers find you with this customized template to put in your store window on the following page.

What do you enjoy about working with your family? Even though sometimes it is really challenging to work with family, at the end the net result is very positive because we are all in it together. We are not tied to a rigid schedule and the business hours depend on our needs. How do you separate “work time” from “family time”? There is a thin line separating “work time” and “family time”, but we really enforce the policy of “holiday time”. Failing to do so can create a very big problem for any family member. What advice would you give to new/young wireless store owners? Be brave and accept any challenge, but don’t be afraid to fail. Learn from everything, and talk with your family about what you are learning everyday.

Separating work and family time is very important but can be hard at times. I have to remind myself when I leave the store I leave the day’s happenings behind.

lot of work. They help support me in many ways. When special events come up they help set up, help make flyers, etc. On the weekends they dedicate time in the store with answering phones, cleaning, restocking merchandise. At the end of the day I have 100% support from them. I get encouragement, compliments, and lots of love! What advice would you give to new/young wireless store owners? My advice to a new store owner would be summed up in a few words: Patience, Faith, Strength. It will be hard work as well as challenging at times. I believe looking at the bigger picture and not on the “now”. Doing that will help make that person reach their store goals with success!

Work time is separated when customers are present and we give our full attention to work, as well as when work related matters come up and must be dealt with.

It helps to have family provide various tools to help close sales, like discounts or tips on communication with a customer. What advice would you give to new/ young wireless store owners?

Our family time is equally as important, because we need to be strong fundamentally in order to lead a business. How does your family help you deal with the challenges of Retail store ownership? My husband is always there to help calm me down, and shows me the importance of having compassion for our Customers. What advice would you give to new/ young wireless store owners?

What do you enjoy about working with your family? Working with my brother makes life easier. Having both trust and support are very important for the success of our business.

What do you enjoy about working with your family? It allows us to spend quality time together. How do you separate “work time” from “family time”? It takes a lot to leave work at work when you are your own boss. But over the years, we have made family time a priority and try our best to respect that boundary. How does your family help you deal with the challenges of Retail store ownership? They understand that this takes long hours and sometimes seven days a week. But we focus on the quality of time spent together to make up for the time spent in the shop.
