What Total Wireless costs, which towers it uses, how much data you get and whether eSIM works — written from the 2 live plans we track for this operator.

We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes how we rank plans, and every price is checked against the operator’s own listing.

How many Total Wireless plans can I compare here?

We currently track 2 live Total Wireless plans, priced from $50 to $60 per line each month. Each one is listed on the Total Wireless page with its own price, data allowance and link to the operator.

Which network does Total Wireless use?

Total Wireless is operated by Verizon Communications and its service runs on Verizon. That means the towers you connect to are the host network's towers, so signal in your area follows that network rather than Total Wireless building its own masts. 2 of the plans we list include 5G access.

How good is Total Wireless coverage where I live?

Coverage depends on the Verizon footprint at your address, not on Total Wireless itself. Use our coverage checker to enter your ZIP and see the filed figures for that network, plus the registered structures nearby. Where a network has not filed data with the FCC we say "not filed yet" rather than estimating it.

What is the cheapest Total Wireless plan?

The lowest monthly price we currently track is $50 per line with autopay, and unlimited data starts at $50 per line. Prices move often, so the figure on the operator page is always the one we checked most recently.

How much data do Total Wireless plans include?

Every plan we list from Total Wireless is an unlimited-data plan. Speeds may be reduced after a fair-use threshold set by the host network.

Does Total Wireless support eSIM?

Yes. Total Wireless supports eSIM, so a compatible phone can be activated by scanning a code instead of waiting for a physical SIM. 2 of the plans we list are flagged as eSIM ready. Check that your handset is unlocked and eSIM capable before you buy.

Are there activation fees or contracts?

The Total Wireless plans we list are month to month, with no fixed term. We have not recorded an activation fee on the plans currently listed.

Can I keep my phone and my number?

In most cases yes. A phone bought unlocked, or unlocked by your previous operator, will work as long as it supports the Verizon bands. Your number is kept by requesting a port from Total Wireless during signup — do not cancel your old service first, or the number can be lost.

How current are these Total Wireless prices?

The most recent check on this operator's listings was Sep 9, 2026. We re-check prices against the operator's own page and only publish what we can see there.

Do you make money if I switch to Total Wireless?

Sometimes. If you buy through a link on this site we may earn a commission from the operator or its affiliate network. It never changes the ranking, the prices we show, or which plans appear — those come from the same verified catalogue either way.
