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.

Common Questions (5)

  • The first month is $30, then it drops to $20 per month with Auto Pay. The checkout can show $55 until the promo and Auto Pay discount fully apply, so the lower price may not appear immediately.

  • Yes. The plan includes unlimited hotspot capped at 5 Mbps, plus international roaming with 10 GB of data and calling coverage to 200+ countries. It also includes 5G UW and is often described as a strong option for frequent travelers.

  • The 5-year guarantee applies to the qualifying plan and base price, not necessarily to every promotional discount shown at checkout. Auto Pay and BYOD requirements must stay active, and the phone itself does not have to stay the same device for the full term.

  • Yes, Total Wireless can activate eSIM on compatible phones. Several signups completed with eSIM QR activation, and switching phones with a physical SIM can be immediate with no billing change.

  • Yes. The $20 BYOD promo is for new customers who port in from another carrier; Google Voice and existing Total/Total by Verizon lines do not qualify. Total Wireless also treats a new customer as someone who has not activated Total service in the last 90 days.

Phenomenal promo considering unlimited hotspot and international roaming (including Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Asia).

Total wireless is a complete crap show. They messed up so many people's byebye promo. Worst customer service also. Down the line they will mess up the plan and it will be difficult to get it back.

roaming doesn't mean much when they can cancel your plan after 3mo of extended roaming duration

Can you adjust your plan if you're already on their Boyd plan for $25?

Haven't had issues with my ByeBye promo, still going strong almost 2 years in.

My beef with Total Wireless is my RCS stop working after visiting Portugal (the byebye plan doesn't have the international roming, so I used a Airalo eSIM) last month. Getting the dreaded 4001 and 4002 errors, Gemini has helped me more their phone, online support. I'm still having issues and waiting out the 2 weeks with RCS being disabled and hopefully Google's Jibe servers can recognize my number again when I re-enable it.

Apart from being cheaper, how is this deal better or worse than US Mobile's plan on WARP (Verizon)?

No. New accounts only. You have to port out and back in.

Great price, great data speeds in large cities, sometimes i experience call connection issues but usually it's good quality. $20/m is a no brainer. Do not forget to sign up for rewards, and also add referral to get extra reward points worth $15 i believe. Do it in the first few days or that window is gone.
