Total Wireless is turning up the pressure on prepaid rivals with a limited-time switch offer that is hard to ignore. The Verizon-powered MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operation) is offering two lines on its Total 5G Unlimited plan for $65/month – that is $20 off – with full access to Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network.

On top of that, customers get two free 5G phones and a 5-year price guarantee. The offer is only available in Total Wireless stores and is aimed directly at users coming from Metro or Cricket.



But there is more. Total Wireless also launched a new campaign focused on single-line users switching from Metro or Cricket. If you bring your own unlocked device and port in from a comparable unlimited plan, you will get 50% off the Total 5G Unlimited plan – that is $25/month with Auto Pay (starting at $30 for the first month). Taxes and fees are included.

The plan comes with unlimited talk, text and data, a mobile hotspot, access to Verizon's 4G LTE and 5G networks, plus international calling and texting. And after 12 months, Total Wireless will give you $200 toward your next 5G phone. Just bring your own compatible, unlocked device and you are in – with that same 5-year price lock.

Meanwhile, Metro by T-Mobile isn't sitting still either. It just revamped its entire prepaid lineup with four new plans, new perks and its own 5-year price lock. So, if you are weighing your options, now is a good time to compare.
