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 switched phones using a physical SIM. Connection on the new phone was immediate with no change in billing.

this deal's been active for 2 months already, any insight on how much longer it will be active for? I missed the Visible 1 year promo, looks like it ended by Sept, hate to miss this deal, but I just signed up to one month of regular visible.

I've tried to port out of Visible to Total Wireless and it's been a disaster. I ended up cancelling it because their porting people say the account is wrong. I gave them the exact account number and PIN from Visible and they keep saying its invalid. Did you drop the leading zeros?
Quote from CyanBook294 View quoted comment :
I was never able to get the port to work and TW said they would refund my $30 but didn't. I contacted them multiple times and then they said "just file a dispute with your bank for it." Like huh? That just costs them more money then actually processing a refund. This is the 2nd bad experience I've had with TW so I won't be trying them again ever.
That's insane. Stories like this make my hesitant to switch.

3 of my chase cards had a 25% add on cash back ($7.50) for Total Wireless.
Amex has $15 off $15. urlhasbeenblocked has $12.50 cash back.

Saw posts on reddit that said 2/14/27, which is crazy if true.

I have 2 lines on one T-Mobile account. Any issues with creating two separate accounts for my SO and I to do this deal? Want to port over both numbers to the new accounts.

Did anyone successfully rebrand any recent port-in promo phones from StraightTalk, Total, Tracfone on this BYO Max line? Whether that phone was activated and expired on their own promo port-in line; or fresh from shipping box and unactivated?

I remember someone in prior Metro deals saying this is feasible; but a quick Google "reddit" search saying this is NOT acceptable.
