Total Wireless doesn't need promo codes for its best deals: they're built into the price at checkout. Right now, new customers who bring their own unlocked phone pay $30 for the first month on Total MAX 5G BYO, then $20 a month with Auto Pay, taxes and fees included, with a 5-year price guarantee. If you need a phone, the Galaxy A17 5G is free with any plan, the iPhone 16e is $199.99 with a 3-month ALL ACCESS plan, and the iPhone 18 Pro is up to $600 off with Total's financing.

The $20 BYO deal: what you actually pay
MAX 5G BYO is normally $25 a month with Auto Pay. New customers who bring an unlocked, compatible phone pay $30 for the first month and then $20. Because Total includes taxes and fees, that's the full bill.
| Year 1 | Years 1 to 5 | Per month over 5 years | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX 5G BYO deal | $250 | $1,210 | $20.17 |
| MAX 5G BYO regular ($25) | $300 | $1,500 | $25 |
| Visible with HOLIDAYHACK | $228 | $1,428 | $23.80 |
| Mint Unlimited, 12-month terms, after a $60 first 6 months | $240 + taxes | $1,710 + taxes | $28.50 + taxes |
- The price lock covers the plan's base price, not the Auto Pay discount. If the $5 Auto Pay discount ever changed, your bill could rise by that much.
- Auto Pay must be on. The discount starts the month after you enroll.
- The phone must be unlocked and from another carrier: Total Wireless, Straight Talk and Tracfone phones don't qualify as BYO.
- Single line online. To add several BYO lines at once, Total asks you to call or visit a store.
Free phones from Total Wireless
Total's free phones are entry-level models: the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G (normally $129.99) is free with any phone plan, and the moto g (2026) (normally $79.99) is free with MAX 5G or higher. Families can get four free 5G phones on STARTER. These are good basic phones, but check which plan the deal needs: the BYO price is only for phones you already own, so a free phone usually means a plan that costs more than $20.
iPhone deals at Total Wireless
- iPhone 16e for $199.99 (normally $599.99) with a 3-month ALL ACCESS plan.
- In stores: two iPhone 16e and two ALL ACCESS lines for $70 a month with Auto Pay ($95 the first month). New customers, port-in required, two phones per account.
- iPhone 18 Pro: up to $600 off with Total Wireless Edge financing on ALL ACCESS. Edge spreads the phone over 12 or 24 monthly payments with no down payment, for approved customers.
- iPhone Duo is sold at full price ($1,999.99).
Two ALL ACCESS lines would normally cost about $120 a month. At $70 with two iPhone 16e included, the in-store deal is one of the cheapest ways to get two iPhones on Verizon's network, if you'd use ALL ACCESS's perks.
Family and multi-line deals
Total's family offer right now is four free 5G phones on the STARTER plan. Multi-line pricing varies by plan and changes often, and BYO lines added several at a time need a call or a store visit. Our Total Wireless plans hub shows multi-line pricing as we last recorded it.
Do Total Wireless promo codes work?
Coupon sites list codes for $100 off or 15% to 20% off. Total does sometimes run codes for sports partnerships and seasonal sales, and new newsletter sign-ups have been offered a discount on a first phone order. But the big savings (the $20 BYO price and free phones) apply automatically. If a code doesn't change your total at checkout, it's expired.
Perks that come with the plans
- Unlimited calling to and from Mexico on all plans.
- Disney+ Premium included on ALL ACCESS.
- Western Union transfer fee waived once a month on select plans.
- Total Rewards points for Auto Pay renewals and referrals.
Is Total Wireless the best deal on Verizon's network?
For one line with your own phone, it's one of the cheapest: $20 with taxes included is lower than Visible's regular $25, and the 5-year lock is longer than most promotions. Visible's HOLIDAYHACK is cheaper for the first year ($19), but rises to $25 after. See Total Wireless vs Visible for coverage, speeds and support, and Total Wireless plans compared for which plan to pick.
How to get the Total Wireless deal
- Check your phone is unlocked and compatible: phones that work with Total Wireless.
- Choose MAX 5G BYO online and enter your phone's IMEI to confirm it qualifies.
- Port your number from your current carrier. Have your account number and transfer PIN ready.
- Turn on Auto Pay. The discount applies from the month after you enroll.
- Activate with eSIM for the fastest setup.
Our verdict
If you have an unlocked phone, take the $20 MAX 5G BYO deal: it's the best plan Total sells at its lowest price, with taxes included and a 5-year lock. If you need a phone, compare the free Galaxy offer against buying a cheap unlocked phone and taking BYO. For two iPhones, the in-store ALL ACCESS deal is worth a visit.
