Community Reviews

This Total Wireless Galaxy S25 FE offer stands out for the chance to get a factory unlocked U1 model that works with physical SIM or eSIM on major US carriers right out of the box. The strongest appeal is the unlocked hardware, with reports of Metro, AT&T, and foreign SIMs working immediately. The main catch is the confusing pricing and unlock path, since the $195 three month plan, extra service, and 365 days of active service can push the real cost much higher. The UFC promo code also appears inconsistent at checkout, so the deal hinges on getting the U1 model and the expected promo to apply.

Common Questions (4)

  • The U1 version is the factory-unlocked Samsung model and is reported to work with US carriers right out of the box via physical SIM or eSIM. Several purchases from this promotion were U1 units, but checking the IMEI/model before buying is recommended because the deal depends on receiving that version.

  • The phone is reported to require 365 days of active service before unlock, and the unlock request must be made after that period. Some comments also note the cheapest path may be a $10 talk/text-only plan, but it has no data and may require calling to get approved.

  • The UFC code can work, but it may only apply after completing account creation and verification. Other checkout attempts showed the code failing with an invalid promo error or leaving the phone at $199.99 plus the $195 plan instead of free.

  • Yes, porting can work, including from US Mobile by first moving the number to US Mobile's free trial and then to Total Wireless. If the carrier is not listed, the store may need to choose "other," and eligibility is checked during checkout.

Does u1 version work on Verizon if you have a physical verizon Sim?
Of course! It's the factory unlocked version that works with every US carrier. It will work with a physical SIM or eSIM from any carrier in the US right out of the box. I got 3 of these around BF (average cost of about $130 each) in store. All were U1 (factory unlocked) models. I sold them all for $400 each. I have one from the Metro deal that cost me $172 that will be locked until Feb. I'm fine with waiting. I think I'm banned from Total Wireless deals (at least for a while) or I'd probably get a couple more.

Can we port from USMobile?
If yes, do they verify (external) port eligibility before checkout or after we get delivery and while we activate it?

TIA ❤️

If I port in a number and activate it on the S25 FE, can I put the sim (or esim) on another phone? If I'm porting in, I might as well make use of the unlimited data for 3 months.

And any issues with porting out at the end of the 3-mo period?

I used Google voice and it only needs a text for verification without port information. After receiving the phone, I was able to activate it by choosing a new number.

Whats the return policy on this in case I don't receive the U1 version? Reading it on Total's website, it seems like since were paying $195 up front for the 3 month plan, that wont be refunded. Since the phone is free, there's nothing to refund there. Somewhat confusing 😖

It is past due that the government finally steps in and the FCC force these carriers to sell unlocked phones or ban them from locking the phone for 365. Enough is enough.
Good luck on that FCC now proposing every MVNO to require more ID checks requiring upload ID/Passport for every prepaid account. Total Wireless third party verification company veriff just got hacked December 2025.

Has TW stopped giving out the U1 model?

I bought three S25 FEs from TW back in April (two in-store, one online) using a port-in offer. They were all U1s. I was able to use Metro SIMs right out of the box, and even a local SIM when I traveled to Mexico
Appears only sell U1 on Galaxy S Series 20 and newer.

As far as moving service, yes. I moved service from the ones I got immediately after getting home from the Total Wireless store. With porting out afterwards, I don't know because I used throw away numbers to get the phones. My brother did port out afterwards though, and didn't mention any issues.

Yes, you can port from US Mobile. In fact, I used the US Mobile free trial for 2 numbers to port. I ported 2 TracFone numbers (not eligible) to US Mobile's free trial, and from there to Total Wireless. The only issue is that Total didn't have US Mobile in the list of carriers. The guy at the store had to select "other". They will verify your number is eligible during checkout.

Do they check how long you have been with the carrier you are porting in from?

I don't think so. I ported to US Mobile from TracFone (because TracFone numbers are ineligible) for just a few days before then portiing to Total.

Looks like the deal is dead after the stock came back?
