Last time I went into a total wireless store in vegas.. the sign outside said total wireless but there was a single ethiopian guy selling luggage inside as if it were a flea market

This offer is a cluster.. 2 stores didn't have phones, and third "supposedly had 3" to only call me back 2 mins later saying they had been "sold"
Whats the cheapest place to get a number to port in? numberbarn?

they really need to make this available online..

earlier in the year i went in on their free iphone 13 deal and it was rather painless.
I'm hoping they step it up this month with some black friday online deals

Yes, inclusive, but exact amount may vary by dealer and location (per tax).No dealer is going to 'guarantee' an unlock. They will assure you that if you meticulously follow the rules and requirements for unlocking, it will unlock. Total is very good about following and complying with their written unlocking policy, and you can follow up with an FCC or BBB complaint if it doesn't happen despite meeting all the meticulously followed rules and requirements for unlocking-- in which case a senior Total agent will make sure it unlocks.

They're also good at changing their unlock policy.

As well as making the new unlock policy retroactive (should have been illegal). There were plenty of angry frustrated customers from the April 1 unlock policy change (SD had pages and pages for several deals).
Just be aware Verizon (owner of TW, ST and TF) can make changes whenever they want and customers have minimal recourse (especially now with the FCC shutdown).
Recommend everyone read all the details of the unlock policy if unlocking is important.

With the tax and fees the total was $320 about 50% off the base unlocked price. Not bad, but definitely not three months of service

I assume we can choose no insurance?

So the 16e doesn't have mag charging ? I was watching this video on the 16e and they said you can buy some 3rd party case that lets you use a mag charging on it and I went Ummm that's not good, more of a step back besides what else did they take out to save money.

I have not seen iPhones free unless they are 3-4 years old and still requires a 3-month plan like this one with port.

Online, there is still 13 for $50 and 14 for $150 plus 3-months plan, which makes it at least around $225-230 for 13 and $325-330 for 14 after taxes.

Metro by T-Mo also has 13 for $50 with one-month plan and port, making it around $110. But unlock is after 12-months compared to 2-months with Total.
