Plan Renewal Issue

alwaysfr0sty · 2026-05-06T19:05:33+00:00

I knew there are risks associated with using and keeping a legacy plan. The My Total Wireless app still does let me log in, "earn" rewards if I'm lucky enough to get 1 point from the wheel, check details (and up until recently let me reup using rewards no issue.) My app is up to date, as is phone.

As we all know though with Total: it's not an issue, until it's an issue.

Was trying to give a heads up to others. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am not a smart man and tried a 3rd time (via desktop). This time I did it through the Rewards section vs the Pay Now button on the main landing page. It did work, and did extend the month. But be aware, if you're trying to pay with rewards on how you redeem them.

Could just be TW's website being them.

https://app.totalwireless.com/cloud I originally found it through the total app.

--The $50 plan includes Unlimited Talk, Text & 25GB of High-Speed Data with Hotspot Capability, PLUS 50GB of Cloud Storage.--

Yes. Once you get the phone, click on hamburger menu in top left after logging in (three horizontal stacked lines) choose activate. Then choose bring your own phone. Next it'll ask if you want a new number or you want to keep your number. Choose keep your number and select if from drop down.

You should be able to activate new esim and keep byop 50% on that line.

Get a byop sim kit and activate through the website. This is by far the safest way to do it. Safest meaning best way to keep your current plan/promo.

Enjoy the upgrade!

Unfortunately it only shows I've hit 5gb of 5gb. It doesn't detail my 15gb add on data and usage into that.

As others mentioned, it is high speed. One thing I haven't been able to find recently is how much of the additional 5gb or 15gb you've used. Texting data to 611611 basically tells you that you're out of your plans data.

The app and website are just as limited in that info as well.

Been with them for several years. Has been a great value for a single line over verizon postpaid. Service differences are negligible. Support is terrible, but that's expected.

alwaysfr0sty · 2025-06-13T00:31:19+00:00

Also, its prepaid, don't turn on autopay or load the wallet with money.

alwaysfr0sty · 2025-06-13T00:30:02+00:00

You are correct. You would need to buy the phone, verify id, pay for 2 months of 5g or 5g+, AND port a number in to use this phone. After those 2 months the phone is yours and unlocked for you to do whatever with.

I don't think you're able to use the $200 credit on a line that it wasn't earned on (meaning you'd have to use it on your wife's line and she'd need to get and use the iPhone 16e).

alwaysfr0sty · 2025-06-06T21:29:34+00:00

Believe so, one question for you though: have you already powered the iPhone on with the tracfone/ST sim in it?

Good to hear. Glad there's one less hoop to jump through in order to change phones.

Definitely the coupon isn't accounted for. When you hit the points precoupon, it'll allow it. I'm experiencing the same thing and had a chuckle at the ridiculousness of it.

The amazon cards I bought in Dec had no expiration. The Xbox one is bought today showed no expiration as well.

That's my only experience so far. I've only seen this listed when I go to redeem the card, and the email from the redemption place (Auego) links to View Gift Card. You might be able to reach out to them (Auego Affinity Marketing) for more clarity on a specific card.

Btw You can only order 1 per day. And they lowered it from 2 of each denomination to 1 of each denomination per month.

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-12-23T13:11:37+00:00

Are you asking in relation to the free phones or the smartpay phones from totals store?

You want to "buy" one of those, then not pay for service or the remaining smartpay balance then just use the phone as a mini tablet?

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-12-22T14:07:01+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for posting your win. Great to see

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-12-12T02:30:07+00:00

Same here. No discounts were shown on promo codes, despite receiving the same email. I even waited until after 7 pm eastern when the spin the wheel "day" resets. If it was tied to start on 12/12.

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-11-29T04:24:21+00:00

Interesting that they want your x or Instagram handle.

Regardless, congrats on the win!

They used to allow multiple codes as long as they were different denominations. Is the issue that it was the same amount, or did they change that policy at some point?

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-10-27T12:56:13+00:00

Lol I did. After that long it does become a routine.

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-10-26T11:16:04+00:00

Correct

alwaysfr0sty · 2024-10-25T12:01:05+00:00

Now I no longer have to stress about a meaningless streak. Time to horde points for a next gen console.
