If you currently have cell service from T-Mobile, Metro, Ultra Mobile, or Mint Mobile (all owned by T-Mobile), consider this aggressive deal from Total Wireless (owned by Verizon). You must switch over at least 2 lines and bring your own device. Importantly, this offer also ends soon 9/30/24. Here is the press release, and the offer page is Totalwireless.com/byebye.
- $15/month per line (includes all taxes and fees) for their Total 5G Unlimited plan. This usually cost $50/month with AutoPay. Discounted price is guaranteed for 5 years.
- Unlimited 5G data on Verizon 5G network, never throttled. Total promises “Unlimited data that never slows you down because of how much you use” and that “Speeds do not slow down through network management”. This is better terms than most MVNOs offer, which usually have lower priority during congested spots and throttling after a certain amount data usage. Supposedly, these are better data terms than the basic Visible plan.
- 15 GB hotspot.
- Free international calling from the US to 85+ destinations, texting to 200+ destinations.
- Free international roaming in Canada & Mexico, 15+ countries total.
- No contract.
It seems that T-Mobile and Verizon are in a bit of a beef right now regarding poaching each other’s customers. Might a good time to take advantage? I’m definitely considering it as a Mint customer, although I do hate the porting process as I’ve run into problems before. The switching is always the most stressful part.
To activate this offer, Metro, Mint Mobile, Ultra Mobile and T-Mobile customers can bring their phones to exclusive Total Wireless stores or visit Totalwireless.com/byebye, use code “BYEBYEMETRO,” “BYEBYEMINT,” or “BYEBYETMOBILE” and port in their phone numbers.
That seems like an easy decision for current Mint Mobile users like myself, except I’ve prepaid 12-month plans for myself and my wife that end in three and nine months. We pay $240/yr for the 15gb plan. That’s where they get ya.
We’re moving to an area where I’d appreciate Verizon’s coverage, but if we switch now (requiring both lines) we’d lose a combined 12 months that we’ve paid for. We’d break even in a couple years and get far better service (Verizon network, unlimited data) but it still stings a bit.
Same here.
What is the chance Mint will match? Or has anyone talked to Mint?
A much better deal:
