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.

  • Customer service and billing can be problematic, including promo discounts being removed or bill amounts increasing unexpectedly.

  • Porting can fail or cause number-loss risk, including situations where support guidance did not resolve the issue.

  • Hotspot performance can be very slow at around 5 Mbps, which can limit streaming to one device during outages.

  • RCS functionality can stop working after international travel, requiring workarounds like an eSIM and waiting for number recognition.

Been around for a while not a new deal. Also I think you can get multiple lines with this promo when I last spoke with customer service

Just signed up and it took 15 mins or so from T-Mobile..... My 2nd line has a former TracFone and it wasn't eligible for the promo.

Wow, this is tempting for five years price guarantee. How was their service compared to Verizon prepaid? I learned a few years ago that on major carriers post paid customers have the highest priority and after that it's their own prepaid service before MVNOs

I've been on Total for ~2 years and I will say the service has been pretty good on the Verizon network. Much better than some previous MVNO's that I've been on like Redpocket (VZW). TW seems to have a much higher prioritization on the network (probably still behind postpaid VZW but it doesn't seem too bad). I will say the customer service is abysmal, should you have to use it. They messed up my $15/mo promotion and I had to file an FCC complaint to get it resolved, as none of their reps know what is going on. I figure as long as I don't touch my account til 5 years are up, I'm all good.

If you can afford it, the Visible+ Pro annual plan on Visible (also Verizon Network) is half off right now with promo code. $225. Significantly better ratings for customer service. Also has international travel perks. Check out their website. The deal is on their homepage.

The issue with Visible is after a year one had to move out, and this is for 5 years same price for single line and Month to Month.

It was a fast and easy port in from Xfinity Mobile (also Verizon). Their customer service absolutely stinks...both chat and by phone. The app showed me at 25.00/month which is no big deal but decided that over 5 years ($300) it was worth correcting. Customer service was absolutely worthless so I visited a local Total Wireless store. The person checked and said it was because it's computers hadn't updated yet and it would be corrected before my first bill. It was corrected a few days later. Also, SMS texting worked but not with RCS. That was also corrected a few days later. As long as you don't need customer service, it's great!
