Our Opinion
Verizon-covered users who want international calling and a modest hotspot allowance should consider Total STARTER if they can manage service primarily without strong support. For $35 per month with Auto Pay, it includes taxes, unlimited 5G data, a 10GB hotspot capped at 5Mbps, calling to more than 85 countries, and Canada and Mexico roaming.
The recorded package includes unlimited 5G data, 10GB hotspot at 5 Mbps, calling to 85+ countries, texting to 200+ destinations, and 2 more listed features. Its 10GB (5 Mbps) hotspot allowance is useful only if that speed and amount match the way you tether.
The price requires Auto Pay, phone data has no premium allocation, video is limited to 480p, and customer support is a serious weakness. Compare the carrier's current checkout terms and test local coverage before transferring every line.
Bottom line: it is a credible fit for the right usage pattern, but it is not an automatic best choice for everyone.
