Total Wireless Keep Your Own Phone 3-in-1 Prepaid SIM Kit

nice

I've been using total wireless for months. The price is great, and the coverage on the Verizon network is the best of all providers in the US. The downside is that they throttle their data speeds hard. It's not uncommon to only get 100-200kbps during the day. Also, their customer service is the worst in the business. However, there is always a tradeoff, and I'd rather have cheaper service with good coverage than always fast internet and first rate customer service.

It was all pretty straight forward.put in the SIM card and called Total wireless and ported my number,etc. I had no problems. I am also very happy with the service,coverage and great prices.

NO COMPLAINTS from ME

This is not a review about the Total Wireless service as I have not had it for long enough to make a judgement on it.Focusing solely on the Bring Your Own Phone SIM Card activation kit, I had a very positive experience. It was quite easy to get the new SIM card into my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. The printed instructions included in this kit are simple and direct you to their online BYOP setup. Once you get to the online instructions, they are quite straight forward and easy to follow to activate service through Total Wireless. I ported my number from Verizon Wireless and my phone was ready to go within about 5 minutes after completing the online setup process.The actual service through Total Wireless may or may not be good, but I cannot say at this time. The ease of the BYOP kit made switching a very simple experience.

It said it was an unlock kit and I gave it to a friend and they were not able to use it on there phone. And I was under the impression it could be from any carrier and this sim kit would make it to where you could use total wireless regardless of if it was a Verizon phone or not. That is NOT the case.

You need a plan to use this kit, and total wireless do not have a pay as you go like plan which is what i need. But overall it is worth the price.

I don't understand the hate on this. It all can be avoided with a little due diligence on the buyers part. If Verizon has good coverage in your area, you will be fine, if not then it won't, ask around. On the Total Wireless website, they can check via your phones IEMI number to see if it is compatible. I was paying $70 for 2 lines on Cricket and I made a mistake on the porting of my numbers to Total Wireless, the reps were very helpful in helping me fix the problem. I never had a problem with Cricket (AT&T) but 5gb per month more for $10 less is a deal in my book. Total Wireless also does not throttle your bandwidth. Also depending on your tax rate, Target may ave a better rate on refill cards than the auto fill discount.
