Word of caution, this is by far the worst company I've dealt with. Transferred from T-Mobile using their last promo for $15/mo per line. Promo pricing never applied. Filed FCC complaint. Their customer service is completely useless. I will be porting out all of my lines at a first chance I get.

I would generally agree however these people are on a whole new level of incompetence. I've been with Tracfone MVNOs including TW in the past but the way they operate now is a new low.

Best experience I had with cellular providers recently was with Mint.

I've had excellent experience with US mobile

I recently did the Motorola Edge smartphone offer from Total Wireless that was on here.
This is my first time ever using a locked phone and first time with Total Wireless or Verizon. I'm curious.. with the Motorola Edge deal you pre-pay for 1 month of an expensive $65 package.. But I'm curious if 1 month after activating if I can switch to this $20 plan? That would be really great. Does anyone know?
and also the Motorola isn't my main phone.. but I could use it until the device locks.. and then I'm able to put the Total Wireless SIM card into an unlocked phone and continue using the $20 plan?

I was with Tracfone MVNOs back when they were independent many years ago. Things are significantly worse now that Tracfone is part of Verizon than they were back then. Total Wireless is not directly owned by Verizon they passthrough Trafone still which is probably part of the problem. All in all customer service is a total dumpster fire.

No. They are owned 100% by Verizon

Avoid Total Wireless if you know what is good for you. Read all the complaints from the last deal.

The most abysmal customer service I've encountered in over 25 years of cell phone usage from several companies.

Did you do it directly at the Disney website and tried to add bundle? When I look to add bundle I see the full price

Yes correct, and even though you see full price, once you submit payment, you will only be charged the difference since TW covers $15.99 of the price you see. I pay $4 for hulu (no ads) after the bundle discount.

Is the $4 paid to Disney separately or added to the Total Wireless bill? Thanks.

Currently using a still locked Razr '24 from a Total deal and it works with this promo. I created a new account with a different email and had to use a different IMEi to get thru activation.

This "Total 5G Unlimited $25/month w/ AutoPay 15GB hotspot" is equivalent to the ATT $300/year plan. Unfortunately, I still have half a year (i.e. $150) with ATT Frown

Verizon-owned carriers are required by spectrum rules to auto unlock after 60 days. So they really don't bother to check.
