A recent report stated that this quarter hasn’t been good for the big telecommunications businesses. Postpaid carriers are expected to see 12% fewer new registrations this quarter compared to last year’s Q2. That seems to be because the carrier customer base is mostly saturated. Almost everyone has a carrier they’ve settled in with.
For any carrier that wants a lot more customers within the US, there’s always the option of enticing users from another brand over to yours. That’s the approach that Total Wireless wants to take. The carrier is offering some sweet deals if you’re ready to switch over from its competitors, and it’s going to be hard to say no to these.
Total Wireless Will Give You Two Lines, Two Free Phones, and a Five-Year Price Lock If You Switch
Total Wireless really wants you to come over to its side of life and see how good things can get. If you’re a new customer with Total Wireless, and you’re coming over from either Metro or Cricket, its two closest competitors, it is going to give you a pretty sweet welcome package. Let’s break down some of the perks that are on the table if you switch over to Total Wireless:
- Two 5G Unlimited Total Wireless lines
- Access to Verizon’s 5G Ultra-Wideband network
- Two free 5G smartphones
- A flat rate of $65 every month, giving you $20 of savings every month
- A five-year price lock
If you ask me, that’s enough on the table to entice people to switch over from one of the competing MVNOs. It’s also great because even with one person coming over to the carrier from another, you can set two people up for Total Wireless service, thanks to two new devices and two new lines. However, before you get too excited, you should keep in mind that you can only redeem this deal in Total Wireless’ physical stores, and not online.
That’s Not All: Total Has Another Deal To Offer You 50% Savings on a Single Line
You might have liked the way the previous deal sounded, but you have absolutely no need for two lines from Total Wireless. In that case, don’t be dismayed just yet. There’s something for you, too, because the carrier has thought of everything.
If you’re switching over from Cricket or Metro, and you bring your own unlocked device, then Total has a deal for you. It’ll offer you a comparable unlimited plan to the one you were on with the previous carrier, with at least 50% savings (and up to 60%). The table below breaks down what you can get on Total Wireless versus the others.
| Total Wireless | Metro by T-Mobile | Cricket Wireless | |
| Starter Plan | $20 | $40 | $55 |
| Standard Plan | $25 | $50 | $55 |
| Plus Plan | $30 | $60 | N/A |
On a starter plan, or Total Wireless’ Base 5G plan, you will get up to 60% off, and if you opt for Total’s 5G Unlimited option, you can get up to 55% off the price of a competitor. Yet, even with these savings, you’re still getting unlimited talk, text, and data, and you keep your previous device. However, keep in mind that the prices above require AutoPay.
