  • Initial Price: $299.99 (Retail $599.99) when you switch and activate on the Total 5G+ Unlimited plan.
  • Monthly Rebate: Receive $25/month back in service credits for 12 months ($300 total value).
  • Net Result: After one year of service credits, the hardware cost is effectively $0 (plus taxes and the monthly plan cost).
Description & Requirements
  • Availability: New customers who port-in (switch) their number.
  • Required Plan: Total 5G+ Unlimited (typically $60/mo for a single line, or as low as $25/mo per line for 4 lines).
  • Credit Structure: $25/month credits start on your third month of active service and continue for 12 months.
  • Plan Perks: Includes Disney+, 15GB hotspot, and no-contract 5G priority data on the Verizon 5G Network
To get the Apple iPhone 17e for $299.99 at Total Wireless [totalwireless.com], you must complete a "port-in" activation, which means switching your existing phone number from a different carrier to a specific high-tier plan.

1st line is 50, 2nd 30, 3rd 25, 4th 15.

After the rebate for the first month, assuming each goes to each line, would line 4 be -10 or would you loose $10?

As per the new unlock policy phones activated on or after January 20, 2026, Total Wireless unlocks devices 365 days after activation, provided the service remains active and paid. Also the $25 credits only apply if you stay with their top of the line Total 5G+ Unlimited plan for $65 (or $60 with auto-pay) through out the year.
Unlock Policy for Verizon and MNVOs (including Total):
https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/wps/portal/home
Key line in the policy document: For all cellphones Activated on or after January 20, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service.

So 4 lines for 120-(100 in monthly credits) a month, and 4 iPhone 17e for 1200+tax with port in? Doesn't seem too bad.

I thought it was ok, 720 with 17 and 1 year service. But for 17e, I am sure that we can find some good deals in other places.

Please disclose in OP that the first month is $65. It goes to $60 (with autopay) after that.

Also, add one device per account. Reference link: https://www.totalwireless.com/buy...unt.,-Shop

Another "good to know" data point is that Total Wireless uses Verizon for its service. Great for me, but not for everyone.

$60 a month for one line kills this deal for me, mainly based on the overall cost.

I'd rather buy my own phone than pay $725 to get this one and a year of service. 17e not my first choice, but if it was, and I needed a line, I'd probably do it.

Why not mention to pay the plan $60/mo?
