I would like to know which Shipping Company Total Wireless uses? And in general how long after you place the order does it usually take to receive the phone?

No way around the massive amount of sales tax, right?

Verizon needs to get their tax processes and systems into alignment across their companies. Free should be free...

Yeah makes no sense i paid $65+$30 second line for 5G Plus Plans and they charged $39 in tax for (2) Free A54s @ $279 each

Meanwhile Straight Talk website is same tracfone company i got (2) Free Moto G Power 5G 2024 cost $45+$30 second line Silver Plans they only charged $8 tax for the 2 service plans and no tax on the phones at $149 MSRP each

I think you're no longer able to get a second A54 on the same order, or any of the free with verify ID phones. And as others have mentioned, you need the $65 plan. You can add a second A14 5G at 30 + tax however. Tax being charged on the original price is pretty retarded.

Looked back at my order when the phone was $50 with a $50 plan, tax was lower, and you were able to get it with a lower cost plan which halfway negates the savings of a "free" phone.

Pretty smooth experience so far after purchasing 2 of these a54 phones.

7/12 - Ordered them.
7/16 - Order was delivered.
7/19 - Ported in the 2 Google Voice numbers. This involved calling Total, was all done in 15 minutes.
7/23 - Porting completed on both phones. They are active on Total and the 60 day clock begins for carrier unlocking.

The phones themselves are surprisingly good. Definitely more of an upper mid-ranger than a budget phone.


Did you try porting yourself first by activating online. I first tried activating with new number, but it seems they fixed that loophole and required using my number. I used GV number as account num and voice pin as port in pin. For carrier I choose OTHER. It's been awhile and it haven't completed yet. Did I make a mistake and how long should I wait. What made you call Total?

It can take days for GV to complete the port and they don't port on weekends so be patient - it's been a problem that's mentioned in every Total/Straight Talk thread that requires porting to get a deal.

Massive wait time for GV numbers as they consider it as a landline. I started my activation and porting at 1pm Friday 5/26 and they said it might get fully ported by Tuesday 7/30 the earliest.

That's because they don't port on weekends. During the week both of mine took 2 days to complete.

I'm stuck at the post verification page. Veriff shows verification successful but then the totalbyverizon page keeps on spinning forever saying verification in progress. Any help is appreciated.

Same here. Did you figure out a solution? Using a different computer etc doesn't work.

So what is the total cost for one phone including the phone line? Do they really charge tax for the full amount of the phone?

Yes, total price depends on sales tax rates where you live.. In southern AZ total was $89 and change.
