FLEXING OUR MIGHT Over the years, we've received plenty of feedback from customers and Retailers alike about offering a family plan, combining the great service of Ultra Mobile with the convenience of a fantastic family discount. We listened, we understand—and now we're delivering! Starting May 17, 2017, Ultra Mobile will offer the FIRST family plan built for prepaid: Ultra Flex Family! Customers can get up to five separate lines of Ultra Mobile's reliable service at an amazingly low price!
HERE'S WHAT'S INCLUDED ON THE NEW ULTRA FLEX FAMILY PLANS: • Unlimited Nationwide Talk and Global Text
FLEX family
more months of Ultra Flex coverage they purchase up front, the lower their monthly rate! Ultra Flex subscribers get access to all of the exact same benefits you see above for Ultra Flex Family—except by adding months of service to their account instead of lines.
THE UNLIMITED FLEX 10 DESTINATIONS INCLUDE TODAY’S MOST IN-DEMAND LOCATIONS:
Canada (M) France Hong Kong (M) Mexico (M)

United Kingdom
(M) – Includes calling to mobile phones
• Unlimited International Talk to our Exclusive Flex 10 Destinations • 250MB of 4G LTE, Shareable Rollover Data Per Line (shared between all lines)
Call Anywhere Credit and International Roaming are sold separately, but they can be added to an Ultra Flex Family plan at any time, as can additional 4G LTE data for as little as $5. Another great feature of Ultra Flex Family plans: All data, Call Anywhere Credit and International Roaming rolls over from month to month, and doesn't expire until it's used! This allows Ultra Flex Family Plan subscribers to add more extras whenever they'd like, or conserve them until they're needed (especially since Ultra's data-saving Data My Way feature is fully functional in Ultra Flex Family). Please note that Data and Call Anywhere credits are shared between lines, but International Roaming Credit is not. Best of all, customers don’t have to be part of a family to take part! Our Ultra Flex plan brings family-plan benefits to individual subscribers. The

destination Fascination :
Hong Kong H O N G KO N G T R I V I A Hong Kong has about 8,000 skyscrapers, which is twice as many as closest rival New York City. The tallest building in Hong Kong is the International Commerce Centre at 1,588 feet. Foodies, rejoice! Not only does Hong Kong have the highest-per-capita concentration of restaurants in the world, it also boasts the least-expensive Michelin Star eateries anywhere. One of the most famous, a dim sum restaurant called Tim Ho Wan, averages just $15 USD per person.
There's more to Hong Kong than a bustling cityscape—about 40% of this destination is made up of nature reserves, parks and natural coastline. One popular local attraction is the Mai Po Nature Reserve, a protected wetland that's home to nearly 400 different bird species.

RETAILER PROFILE:

WZ NY EASTERN WIRELESS
FLUSHING, NY WHERE ARE YOU ORIGINALLY FROM? I am from Hong Kong. My whole family immigrated to the USA for a better life. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE USA? I have been living in the USA for about 20 years. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT LIVING IN THE USA? The American Dream. I truly believe that the American Dream will come true if you work hard enough to achieve your financial goals. HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BUSINESS?? I have had this business since 2007—10 years! DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
I did not ever think I would run my own business! I was thinking about getting a good job after graduating from school, but things happen and plans change. I know that I need to control my own destiny. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS? I enjoy interacting with customers and making sure we satisfy all of their calling needs.

HOW IMPORTANT TO YOU IS BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS BACK HOME? It's very important to keep in touch with family and friends back home, and Ultra Mobile has always been great for that. What's even better is that now Ultra Mobile has its International Roaming feature in Hong Kong, so I can use my USA number for communication while visiting overseas. DO YOU CALL, VIDEO CHAT OR TEXT HOME? We mostly use WeChat now! HOW OFTEN DO YOU VISIT HOME? I go back to Hong Kong about once every five years. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST EVERYDAY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR HOME AND THE USA?
WHICH COUNTRIES ARE CALLED THE MOST BY YOUR CUSTOMERS? Pakistan would be the top country, but I also serve customers who call Bangladesh, India, China, Mexico and Uzbekistan. HOW OFTEN DO YOU CALL HOME? I call home to Hong Kong about once a month, using Ultra Mobile of course!
The pace! In my country, you will see everywhere is packed with people, and people are rushing to work and walking fast. In the USA, we are kind of relaxed and doing our thing—working, going to school, traveling, etc. // WHAT FOOD DO YOU MISS THE MOST FROM HOME? Dim sum and wonton noodle soup! //

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AN ULTRA? I became an Ultra employee in August of 2013.
CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING ULTRA FLEX FAMILY UP AND RUNNING! AS A DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ITS CREATION AND LAUNCH, WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY? With everything going on in the Ultra world, I think the biggest challenge was determining which features were important to include in the launch of the Ultra Flex Family plan and when the right time to launch was. In the end, we agreed it was best to launch when we had everything available to the Retailer channel. It was very important to deliver a family plan in channel that subscribers would embrace and Retailers would be excited to sell; I think we built an innovative product that truly transcends the prepaid market.
IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT SETS ULTRA FLEX FAMILY APART FROM ANYTHING ELSE OFFERED BY ULTRA? Actually, I think the entire Ultra Flex Family plan is a game-changing product built for the prepaid market. Ultra Flex Family stands for something unique to the industry, clearly different from any other product a carrier can offer at a value so compelling you need to hear about it. Ultra Flex Family subscribers receive unlimited talk & text services at a decreasing cost based on how many lines you have linked to your family plan. What’s great about this is

opportunity to grow with the company the last four years. When I started working here, there were 15 employees and today we have over 130 talented employees focused on delivering innovative products and services for our Retailers to sell and help our subscribers connect with friends and family.
TIME FOR SOME PERSONAL QUESTIONS: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST FAVORITE WEBSITE? Tough question to answer so I’ll answer from both a personal and professional perspective. I used to have an AOL account in the mid ‘90s and spent a lot of time dialed-up as a result of the free trial CD I received in the mail. Around the same time, I was consulting at Nextel and they were building out their online presence. I worked a lot, nights and weekends supporting builds and deployments. It was a fun time and reminds me of the culture we have built at Ultra.
NAME A FOOD YOU COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT. that subscribers also receive an allotment of shareable 4G LTE data with every month of service they purchase per line. It gets even better—whatever data goes unused will carry over to the next month! Ultra Flex Family subscribers can also purchase additional 4G LTE data in bulk if their family members have an appetite for consuming more data.
WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING AN ULTRA? There are so many great things about working at Ultra. My favorite is probably the
I could not live without Sushi.
IF YOUR DAY MAGICALLY HAD 25 HOURS (WHILE EVERYONE ELSE'S STILL HAD 24), HOW WOULD YOU SPEND THE EXTRA HOUR? I’d have to say I would spend the extra hour doing something for myself, like working out. With middle-school-aged children, it feels like all my free time is spent getting them to and from sporting events. It would be great to get back into shape and be healthier.
