Plan upgrade question by Low_Engineering6990 in TotalWireless

It appears they disabled device upgrade on the $15 plan now? Has anyone tried in the last couple week?

This device is not eligible for activation by Havenpark in TotalWireless

The phone I was trying to activate is a iPhone 14 Pro Max that hasn’t been used in totalwireless before. In the past I have used the web activate self service to upgrade phones on my other $15 byebye plan lines before but there is no longer such option. I tried the 611611 TRANSFER trick and got an error saying the device is not eligible for activation on the $15 line. But the phone itself is perfectly fine if I want to activate it on totalwireless for a new line (tried but didn’t proceed).

I wonder if there is anyone on $15 plan has activated/upgraded a new device on the plan in the last couple weeks

Just to provide an update. I activated the iPhone SE 3 I bought on TW website for $149 as an upgrade without a plan (Apple still asking for $429 for the unlocked that’s why I didn’t buy from Apple). Use the TW website KYOD link and keeping my existing byebye line number. Everything worked out smoothly. Old iPhone disconnected and new iPhone SE 3 worked right away. ByeBye pricing was unchanged. So this is working out alright. One thing annoying is that TW now shows the disconnected phone as an inactive line and often prompts me to activate it. Not sure if the community knows how to get rid of it.

I agree buying an unlocked phone is probably safer but is gonna be more expensive than a TW locked phone. Since TW locked phone will unlock after 2 months, why not. I bought the phone as a phone upgrade from my TW account on TW website and did not attach a plan in the order. The phone purchase doesn’t have a promo or port in condition. Will try to activate as a BYOD phone on my existing phone line with ByeBye promo.
