I read the fine print. The 5 year price guarantee is for the full price ($30), not for the discounted price ($20).

Slightly different offerings. Total is fine if you don't need hotspot faster than 5mbps (which is honestly very slow, barely supports one youtube stream) and prefer to pay monthly. One benefit of paying monthly is being able to take advantage of credits card statement credit offers from chase that give you $5 back per month. Other card and banks offer these from time to time.

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.

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.

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.

I signed up last week. I looked up my autopay and it's showing $25 instead of $20. What going on here?

I signed up for $25 per month. Anyone know if they will let you price match?
They told me I have to port in from a carrier to get the $20 deal. I used Google voice and it only showed $25 after autopay .

I was told through chat that I would need to port from a carrier to get $20 deal and not google voice? Is that Right? I'm not getting the $20 deal but "$25. I have 4 lines and would like to save $20 a month. Lol

The deal is alright -- the provider is not. Last time I ordered TW service they took a scan of my ID and face, and then 3 months later sent a letter expressing regret for the hack in which a bunch of data was stolen.
I'd assume that as a result of the hack they're bit more secure now, but I'd hesitate to give them my data every again.

Yeah im only getting $5 off instead of $10. So, I'll be porting my number out and back to Tello for their $15 deal.

Customer service representatives seem well trained to lie to customers, often acting as though they are unaware of offers that their own website clearly advertises.

There's an obvious discrepancy here.. It shows $20/mo for new customers, but the plan is actually $30 and their autopay discount is only $5/mo so no idea how they go from 25 -> 20 and how long that extra discount will last, if at all

Thanks! I brought over one number from Google Fi, saving ~$18/month. I picked up a TW SIM locally, and porting out went smoothly. I agreed to Auto pay during sign-up ; my account dashboard is showing $20/month. The total is listed as $30/month , with BOTH a $5 autopay discount, and a $5/month promotional credit.

we are still going strong after two years of byebyetmobile deal for a family of 3. Can't beat $45 a month plus $10 off each month with a credit card.
Can you explain the 10 off with credit card?
