Who they are
Total Wireless is a Verizon-owned prepaid brand, brought under Verizon through its acquisition of TracFone and now run as a first-party Verizon prepaid service rather than a separate reseller. It’s prepaid with no contract and no credit check, sold online and through a fast-growing network of its own retail stores plus big-box partners like Walmart.
Network & coverage
Total Wireless runs on Verizon’s nationwide network, the same infrastructure as Verizon’s postpaid service, so coverage tracks Verizon’s footprint. All new activations are on Verizon, and the upper tiers add Verizon’s high-band Ultra Wideband 5G on compatible devices. One catch worth knowing: the entry tier is deprioritized behind Verizon postpaid during congestion, while higher tiers include Verizon’s priority data.
How pricing works
Total Wireless is prepaid with no contract and no early-termination fee. The lineup runs from an entry unlimited tier up through higher unlimited tiers that add priority data, with per-line pricing that drops as you add lines. Taxes and fees are included in the price. An account-level autopay discount applies on select tiers, and customers who bring an eligible phone can lock the base rate under a multi-year price guarantee.
Who it’s for
Total Wireless suits people who want all-in Verizon-network pricing without a credit check or contract, especially those bringing their own phone who want to lock in a rate, and anyone who values having stores nearby. The entry tier is less suited to heavy users who need priority speeds in busy areas. The alternatives below are worth a look if guaranteed premium data on every tier is your priority.
