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
Top Comments
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 can cover Mexico, Canada, Europe, Asia, and about 10 GB abroad. The 5 year price lock is a major draw, though the fine print appears to protect the base rate rather than the discounted $20 offer. Setup can be smooth, but eligibility and checkout often hinge on a true new account and a qualifying port, and the first month may show $30 before dropping to $20. Customer service and billing problems are the main concern, so it fits best if you want a low monthly rate and can avoid needing much support.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The plan includes unlimited hotspot at 5 Mbps and international roaming, with 10 GB of roaming data mentioned in the thread. It also covers many countries, including Mexico, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
Usually no. Straight Talk and other Verizon value-brand phones are excluded from the BYOD promo, and phones purchased from TracFone were also reported as ineligible. Activating on a different qualifying unlocked phone may work, but moving the line to the excluded phone can remove the discount.
No. The first month is $30, then it drops to $20 per month after Auto Pay. The $20 price is the ongoing rate, not the initial charge.
No, the offer is limited to one line per account. Multi-line service is available, but the promo pricing does not apply to all lines in the same account.
Yes. It is for new customers only, and Total Wireless treats a new customer as someone who has not activated Total Wireless or Total by Verizon service within the last 90 days. Existing customers generally need to port out and back in to qualify.

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.
