Thanks to a reader tip from Danielle Aaron Chaprnka, BestMVNO has learned that Total Wireless has updated its wireless plans. The Verizon MVNO's $25 plan now includes 1GB of high-speed data. It previously came with zero data and strictly offered unlimited talk and text. A new customer promo has also been announced. New subscribers who pickup Total Wireless’s $35 plan will get 10GB of data for a limited time, instead of its usual allotment of 5GB.
Total Wireless’s Updated Plans And Promos Highlighted
Total Wireless’s updated $25 phone plan includes unlimited data with the first 1GB at 4G LTE data speeds before throttling to 2G data speeds. Interestingly, Total Wireless has elected to keep its $35 plan hard-capped. The $35 plan is the only plan to not include unlimited data at 2G data speeds.
The $35 bonus data promo offer is for new customers only. New customers will get 10GB of 4G LTE data for their first 90 days of service. After that, data allotment will revert back down to 5GB. This offer is not yet showing on Total Wireless’s plan details page, however, if you add the 5GB plan to your shopping cart and go through the checkout process, you will see the bonus data allotment. The bonus data is good for new customers who bring their own phones and also customers that need to purchase one from Total Wireless. The plan also comes with unlimited talk and text as do all of the company’s other wireless plans which remain unchanged at this time.
Unfortunately, still no word as to when Total Wireless will officially announce support for mobile hotspot which is a feature the company teased was coming several weeks ago.
Update: Total Wireless has updated their plans page to show the new bonus data offer, AND has now officially launched Mobile hotspot with the plan.

Taxes & fees included or extra?
Taxes and fees are extra, but may be somewhat offset by a 5% autopay discount.
Wish they would have given more than 1gb on the $25 plan because that’s no deal.
I agree, especially when Net10 Wireless (which is owned by the same company as Total Wireless), has a 1GB plan for $20 instead of $25 on the exact same Verizon network, in addition to a 1 year plan for $200 ($16.67 a month).
Even when there was no data on the $25 plan, I bought that one, because – the data on the monthly plans does not roll over. So I bought the $25 plan, then bought the data add-on – $10 for 5GB, which DOES roll over as long as the account is live. My data usage when I’m home is not usually over 2GB per month (lots of wifi) so that is an even better deal. $2 per gig, and you don’t lose it each month? A no-brainer. If you’ve got a multi-line account, there are other options that might be better.
