Quote from starcaptor :
I got this via byebye promo. Apart from the FCC complaint (which was handled pretty elegantly by tracfone corporate, all said and done), the service has been drama free and quite good.

If you get c band signal around you (5g uw), it will easily break gigabit. Not much of a perk until you're in a really dense place during an event, like at a convention or a concert, where it shines.

However, they aren't the absolute coverage kings anymore...that would be ATT (just barely...hard to tell), since they built out towers seven years ago as part of their agreement with the govt to get first responders reception in the most remote areas (firstnet band 14, 700 mhz)

Also, in terms of a 'hell froze over' comparison, TMO actually has better penetration in some buildings/location (band 71, which is 600mhz AND has both 4g and 5g SA) than Verizon (band 13, 700 mhz, entirely 4g).

So while VZ has a larger footprint, it will be both slower, and lower capacity, at the same time. But if you can get their fast signal...it's freaking fast. The fastest of them all (c band and mmwave)

TMO has the lowest band of the low bands...and capacity, so if you're in some concrete prison and can catch their signal, it should be decently quick.

ATT is the only option in some seriously remote places (tribal lands, super rural).
Yeah I've been noticing that about ATT, it always has the best coverage in the "boonies" from the whole group. That said what I pay here for 4 lines with byebye I could only get one line on the other side. I'll just stick to TW for now and will rely on satellite coverage for emergency.

If you pick the top plan that comes with Disney+ and want to add Hulu and ESPN, it would only be $20 on top.
Only? I pay $5 for Hulu Disney monthly.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank stuff4dave

I had total for about a year with the same promo as in the post. It worked fine. The real value here is the inclusion of Disney+ premium, which is $19 by itself.

For $30 you get unlimited 5g+ wireless service and Disney+ premium. Which is like getting the wireless part for just $11/month.
From my experience the only major trade off is the most expensive plan that includes Disney+ beyond 6 months, also has a pretty bad hotspot. It's unlimited but is capped at 1 device and 5mbps. This is ultimately what made me decide to switch away from total. With such a limited hotspot, it just wasn't useful enough when I wanted to use it for stuff like kids tablets while on the road or traveling.

I went with visible which had an annual plan promo for $205 and has unlimited hotspot at up to 15 mbps. It's way more useful.

If you value disney+, and don't mind slower hotspot and limited customer support, then total 5g+ for $30/month is a great value and option.

I believe Total 5G and 5G+ are on QCI 8 which is highest Verizon priority available to consumers. I don't experience any issues.
I assume Visible - being owned by Verizon - has the highest priority, as well. I got in on the $19/mo plan (for 26 months) that I believe has the same features as this one.

The $19/mo plan is the lowest verizon QCI priority and similar to Verizon Welcome.

I have used Total Wireless for eight years. Never had any trouble. This is a great deal.
Curious, did you start with a promo? Promos claim to end in 5 years? do you just cancel and then re-do a promo after 5 years?

The real Deal here is the $65 Total 5G+ Unlimited ($60 w/ Auto Pay) receives a $30 discount: $35 final cost ($30 w/ Auto Pay) + Disney PLUS Premium (nowadays a $20 service ..yikes), so if you already use Disney plus, your total monthly cost for wireless is ONLY $10....Still amazes me......

TotalWireless user for me and my wife for 1.5 years now. We joined when they had this EXACT same promo back in Nov 2024.

Overall we are happy with our service, now, after a VERY rough 2nd month which involved an official FCC complaint to honor the promotional pricing i signed up for. The 2nd month was wrongfully renewed at full price ($65). But after the FCC complaint, i was assigned a TotalWireless resolution manager, which ENSURED I was satisfied with the resolution after 48 hours. By month 3 and have had no problems again, UNTIL TODAY, when my Disney plus was randomly cancelled mid-month.....But again, it was resolved by CS chat in 15 mins or less.

So if you are willing to "potentially" deal with CS, then it's a fine provider indeed

Make sure your price reflects the %50 off when you checkout or you generally have a hard time getting CS to honor it. Also search around for a referral code which can net you roughly $15 of service credit if you stay 60 days.
Total isn't for the faint of heart, and if you're someone who needs CS to hold your hand it's probably not going to be a good fit for you.
With that being said though, their $30 byod 5G+ that includes Disney + no ads has been a great plan for me.

I believe Total is owned by Verizon. Verizon customers are famously leaving in droves over price hikes and other issues. I am a very unhappy Verizon customer. I also tried but really didn't like TracFone (abysmal customer service). I used to like Verizon. I now understand why people are leaving and have understood it for some time now.
I can't make any recommendations, but I recommend you consider something else besides Verizon and TracFone (and, I imagine but don't know Total Wireless). My recommendation is try something else.
