Our Opinion

Light hotspot users should consider Total STARTER if Verizon coverage is dependable where they live and travel. The $35 Auto Pay price includes taxes, unlimited 5G data, a five-year price guarantee, and 10GB of hotspot use at 5 Mbps.

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.

Customer support is a notable weakness, and the advertised price requires Auto Pay while video is limited to 480p. 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.
