Total Wireless Plans

Total Wireless is Verizon's prepaid MVNO — formerly Total by Verizon, rebranded in 2023 as part of the TracFone portfolio consolidation under Verizon ownership. Three plans, all unlimited, starting at $40 a month. No phones currently listed with pricing, so it runs as a BYOD-first option on Verizon's network.

Total Wireless is Verizon's prepaid brand — rebranded from "Total by Verizon" in 2023 as the TracFone portfolio consolidated under Verizon ownership. The network underneath is Verizon's, which means the coverage map and deprioritization terms are governed by Verizon's prepaid policies rather than Total's marketing. Three active plans, all unlimited, starting at $40 a month. No phones with pricing in the catalog — this runs as a bring-your-own-device option more than a phone-shopping destination. The pitch is Verizon coverage at prepaid pricing without the postpaid contract. Rural coverage is the main argument for choosing Total over T-Mobile or AT&T prepaid alternatives at similar prices. Verizon's extended LTE footprint still leads in a number of low-density markets. Deprioritization under congestion applies, as it does across all prepaid-on-postpaid setups, but Verizon's network capacity handles it well in most areas.
