I switched during the byebye promo and dang the reception sucks. I always thought verizon was supposed to be the gold standard. I often lose reception in my house and even after they shipped me a replacement sim card - I tried on two phone, one iphone 11 pro max and an s23 ultra. I live in an urban suburb, so i wouldnt expect any issues, i didnt have any of these issues when i was using mint.

Same issue here. Switched from USM to TW with 50% off about 10 days ago. I am living right in middle of 5G UW area per Verizon in major city. Hardly get 1 bar signal strength on 4G. 5G UW at home is possible only if, I am on top floor and near window. In-store signal strengths are ymmv USM/Mint/Tello T-Mobile/ATT Prepaid coverage is better on 4G

Its been 10-days, since I switched. Currently TW shows renewal is at $60 instead $30. Disney+ access is not yet provided. Chatted with agent and but they are clueless.

Reddit forum has tons of complaints about this and it seems issue can be resolved only through FCC and escalation.

Is the data on the $20 plan for TW same as the data on Visible in terms of capping speeds and heavily throttled and deprioritized ?

I have someone on the $40 plan and they are not capped @ 25mbps on either LTE nor 5G. They are using an iphone SE 3rd gen and their autorefill is showing $20.
Visible caps 5g speed. Does TW do that on the base plan? Is the 5G unlimited and is it deprioritized? Thanks.

So glad I didn't waste my time trying to port over to Total Wireless if they aren't gonna honor what they said. Sounds like a Total alright, TOTAL bait and switch. I won't ever deal with this company again. We had them a few years ago and they screwed up and lost my wife's phone number so we had to get a new number.
Maybe they should rebrand again and call it TOTAL, TOTAL CROCK OF SHI#! 💩
Good call! Lesson learned for me.

all plans are unlimited priority data. the 40$ plan does not have the 5 ultra wideband though. I have the total 5g plan from the earlier 2 line deal. additional source :https://www.totalwireless.com/pho...belSection

D+ with 5g+ Unlimited is included as long as the line stays active.
Si you're saying that D+ is only honored for 5G+ plan? I see that on their website they have D+ included for 5G & 5G+ and I'm on the 5G and was only able to have D+ the first month when I ported my number and now my subscription is cancelled without previous notification

You can go through the process. It will check for compatibility or head to for inquiry https://www.reddit.com/r/TotalWireless/

Their prom system is messed up and lot of complaints about promo not applied correctly. I have same issue for second month billing due in 18 days.

They can guarantee pricing, because their pricing is too high.

You're guaranteed to pay too much for the next 5 years!
$20 is too high? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Currently on Visible+ V1-$35 per month. Would it be beneficial to get the $30 TW plan?
Depends. If you have an apple watch and good reception in your area, the annual Visible+v2 is $395, so $33 a mouth for UWB and cellular connection on the watch. If no apple watch, then TW is $3 savings a month and you're not locked in for a year.

I just received my free Moto Edge from these guys, started using it today. I have one month of the $65 plan, and then it will be another month (total of 60 days) before they unlock the phone. If I go for one of these deals, can I start that service at the end of the month, or will I need to wait 60 days for the phone to be unlocked?

I can confirm their customer service department is miserable to deal with. It's not their fault, they just are not top-tier English speakers and it's hard to understand them and for them to understand you... especially if you are from the South lol.
