Amazing prices for sure - but just be aware that Total is QCI 9 / lowest priority on the Verizon towers. Don't expect to get usable data service when you're in any sort of crowd (except maybe in areas with good 5G UW coverage).
you lose the 50% discount. it'll double
Why is this discounted $25 or $30 per month on Total better than the regular Visible and Visible+ plans of $25 and $35 per month?

Does Total have a higher network priority than Visible?

So which prepaid carriers get good priority?

Quote from MzSuperStar :
Have you used the service yet? Verizon has always sucked for me in TX -- both Houston and Dallas. Internet connection was non-existent using an iPhone and new Android. The last time I used it in 2022 I'd have to be in certain spots in my house just so people could understand me. Just wondering if anything has changed.
I'm in Austin and it's by far the best

The $60 plan is QCI 8.

oh wow, you were responding to my question as I was typing. My experience wasn't even in crowds. It was both at home, a restaurant parking lot near closing, on my street but too far from the house for wi-fi....and all of that was Verizon directly, not Total or another reseller. Though it was the same with RedPocket using a Verizon SIM.

This is out of date for some of them, but a good reference:

In general one of the cheapest with priority data at Verizon is US Mobile

How is the voice and data service compared to main Verizon lines ? I know it's lower priority data speed but is it noticeable?

Any links on that? The Total website language (in times of traffic you'll be slower) looks the same between all the plans and the broadband label bit is all the same as well. Definitely interesting if that's correct, though.

edit: it looks like you get UW coverage with the $60 plan which helps in those smaller areas, but it's still QCI 9 otherwise as far as I can tell via any source. I would love to be wrong, though.

The listed price is monthly rate, not for the entire 12 months of service, right?

I'm not familiar with Total, are they similar to what Cricket does with Tmobile using their network for cell coverage?
Cricket is owned by AT&T and uses AT&T towers
