Total Wireless: Bring Your Own Device, Get Total MAX 5G BYO Unlimited Plan
$20/Month ($30 1st Month)
w/ Auto Pay + Keep Your Numberat Total Wireless

Visible +pro annual plan for $225 has the same unlimited priority data, but also gives you unlimited hotspot at 15 mbps, a drastic improvement. Also, Apple Watch line is also included. It also works out to be a bit cheaper per month roughly $18.75 instead of the $20/month for total.
Visible also has a 25% statement credit off with some chase cards, with a max discount of $15. If you stack that with a $20 referral code from a current customer, you can get a $35 off the annual plan so it'll only be $190 for the year, or just under $16/month net.
Hard to beat that unless verizon is really bad around you.
Community Reviews
Total Wireless's $20 BYOD plan stands out for unlimited priority data on Verizon, unlimited hotspot at 5 Mbps, and international roaming that includes 10 GB plus calling to many countries. The deal also carries a 5 year price lock on the base rate, with taxes and fees included, and some accounts can stack rewards or home internet discounts. The main catches are that new customers usually need to port in from another carrier, the first month can bill at $30, and the promo price depends on autopay and eligibility. Customer service and porting problems are the biggest recurring concern, so it fits best if you want low monthly cost and can tolerate some setup friction.
Single-line Verizon-network shoppers who want unlimited priority data, because the plan has strong speeds and coverage with 5G UW plus unlimited hotspot.
Frequent international travelers who want roaming built in, because the plan includes roaming data and broad country coverage without buying a separate eSIM.
People who want a long-term phone bill they can set and forget, because the price is advertised with a five-year lock on an eligible BYOD line.
Households adding a tablet line, because the plan can bundle a tablet add-on for a low monthly extra charge.
Shoppers who need a smooth port-in, because transfers can fail, take days, or nearly lose the number.
People who need dependable customer support, because account fixes, billing corrections, and basic help can be slow or unhelpful.
Heavy hotspot users who stream on multiple devices, because hotspot speed is capped at 5 Mbps and can barely handle one video stream.
People who need watch data or Apple Watch support, because the plan does not include smartwatch data.

JUST KIDDING YOU CAN GET A NEW NUMBER.
EDIT: It will not work on 4 phones/same account. It says limited to one offer per account, but their multi-line pricing is pretty good as you can get their best ALL ACCESS plan for 4 lines with Disney+ for $115. Better than the $225 I'm paying on ATT now.
One downside -- they do not offer ANY watch data plans.

The international roaming in Visible+ Pro is very limited (2 GB, and up to 24 days). Total is 10 GB, no strict number of days.
Any ideas what to do other than go to a Total Wireless store?
Don't think you can do that.

Total has a history of taking away people's promotional discounts.
I was with Total since Oct 2024, they jacked up my monthly payment at least 3 times, I called them numerous times but no one able to get the promo back for me. I always have to file BBB or FCC complaints in order for them to honor it.
I had no problems except when I wanted to add a second line. If you want a second line, you have to pay the regular 50something for the first and then I believe 30 for the additional line. Of course customer service said I could add a second line for 30 bucks while on the 25 dollar plan, but after buying the phone and after trying to activate, they informed me that they would have to "upgrade" my plan to the 50something + $30 for the second line. Thankfully the phone I got from them was able to be used on Tracfone on an existing line I have with them so it was not a total loss.
HOWEVER, if you just want one line - they seem great. Hotspot worked during a recent internet outage to stream on one TV (would not do two). One thing I really like about Total Wireless is the NXTPAPER 10 Tablet the can be added to the 25 dollar plan for 10 bucks a month (I think I had to sign up for the 20 dollar plan when getting a discount on the device, but it let me change it to the 10 dollar plan for the following month). So the long and short of it is that I got a phone and tablet plan for a grand total of $35 bucks combined, which beats anyone else if you are in the market for a tablet.
The $225 is first year only. Total is for 5 years.

The chat bot also says you can have multiple adults from the same household hold their own account and payment method in order to qualify for multiple $20/mo deals. So if you need multiple lines, albeit less convenient, it's a way to get the maximum possible discount.
