Our Opinion

Total STARTER suits customers who want straightforward unlimited phone and hotspot service on Verizon's network. Its clearest value is unlimited hotspot use at up to 5 Mbps alongside a $35 one-line Auto Pay price.

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 Unlimited (5 Mbps) hotspot allowance is useful only if that speed and amount match the way you tether.

The listed price requires Auto Pay, and the plan lacks the faster hotspot speed and broader international benefits of higher tiers. 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.
