Total Wireless has made a long-overdue change. The company's $35 phone plan finally comes with unlimited 2G data after subscribers consume the plans high-speed data allotment of 5GB. The plan also comes with unlimited talk and text.
Back in January, Total Wireless updated its plans by adding unlimited data with the first 1GB at high-speed to its $25 plan. That left the MVNO's $35 phone plan to be their only offering to not come with unlimited 2G data once the plans high-speed data allotment ran out. Savvy shoppers such as Gilbert Lopez were forced to work around the limitation by subscribing to Total Wireless's $25 plan and adding a $10 5GB data add-on card to it to give them unlimited data with the first 6GB each month at high-speed at the same $35/month price point.
With the plan update, all Total Wireless phone plans now include unlimited talk, text, and data with the specified amount of data at high-speeds before throttle to 2G data speeds. You can review all the plans below.
- $25/month ($23.70 with autopay (AP))- 1GB high-speed data
- $35/month ($33.20 with AP) - 5GB high-speed data (6GB if purchased at Walmart)
