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.

Does Total allow getting OTP/SMS while traveling abroad?
International roaming is limited to some latin american countries only, but if you use wifi-calling, you can use your phone anywhere in the world as long as you can get on to a wifi connection.

Which one is better, Visible or Total Wireless? Both use the Verizon network and are the same price: $20.

It's the same, it really depends on what you're looking for. With this deal, I think Total is better across the board, but they don't offer any watch plans if that's your thing. Overall, I say US Mobile is second then Visible.

I think what you need to understand here is that you are most likely going to have the deal F'D up. You will have to spend some time or a lot of time on phone getter no this resolved. You will
Most likely have to file both FCC and FTC complaints.!if you persevere you will
Likely get rewarded with the plan as advertised and promised. Are you willing and do you have the time? Ask yourself
I myself have been beeen battling since 9/29. My auto pay come out tomorrow and I lay awake tonight wondering if the 15 phones me calls and complaints filed actually will get them to do the honorable thing. Jury's out on that much like this election.

Can anyone comment on the area they're in and how consistent are the speeds? (via Speedtest.net) I had Visible a couple years ago and speeds were dismal and all over the board. Got download 200 mbs that went down to 10 mbs a block later... In seattle

i'm having a way better experience with total 5g+ unlimited VS visible's 5g free trial. i understand the difference between these two plans, but 650mbps dl on total compared to 30 mbps on visible is a huge difference. in portland, by the way

I jumped on this deal because my D+ annual was about to expire and I didn't want to renew at their new price. I was going to just go without it and do a month here-or-there when something comes out. But here's why I went with TW for this.

I'm currently on T-Mo due to the Sprint merger where I had an old SERO account that was changed to SWAC. I don't want to give that up, even though I have to deal with several dead zones at places I visit locally and across the country.

My ISP is Spectrum and I recently cut out cable and went internet only. Then they came out with their Spectrum One deal for $50/mo plus a wireless line. My phone is a Pixel 7 Pro with dual SIM capability with 1 eSIM and 1 physical SIM. I went eSIM with T-mo and physical with Spectrum. Spectrum uses Verizon. Verizon solved the dead zone issues I have with T-Mo.

The 12 month promo from Spectrum expired and I was paying $30/mo for unlimited through them. But, I am actively using them, but not for voice, just mobile data. Instead of hitting up their retentions people to give me a better deal, it's just better to switch to TW and get D+ and have that backup line on my phone.

At this point, the only thing keeping me on T-mo is their Hotspot is faster, but limited, and I get better video resolution.

I quit their program after a week due to horrible coverage, awful customer service and worst of all the guy told me it was going to be $60 a month for my home internet and cell phone. My bill was 110 bucks then they put me in a lease that I never agreed to through a billing company called Acima Digital for my router....a lease was never mentioned or signed. This company is one of the biggest customer service nightmares I've ever encountered in my life. Stay far far away. Some deals are too good to be true. This is one of them.

The difference between Visible basic and Total is that Total is QCI8 prioritized on Verizon, Visible Basic is QCI9 or lowest priority on Verizon and gets no priority data.

Also it looks like they finally fixed the BYOD promo billing issues as I just signed up and a month later $25 was confirmed deducted from my account for refill. Also my homepage shows the correct $25 promo applied as well.
