Why Switch to Total Wireless?

Many customers move from AT&T to Total Wireless for several reasons:

  • Lower monthly cost
  • No annual contract
  • Verizon 5G network coverage
  • Keep your current phone number
  • Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
  • eSIM support on compatible devices
  • Unlimited plan options

Before You Switch

Before starting the transfer, make sure you have:

  • Your AT&T account number
  • Your Number Transfer PIN (Port-Out PIN)
  • Your billing ZIP code
  • An unlocked phone (if bringing your own device)
  • Your phone's IMEI number

Step 1: Check Device Compatibility

Visit Total Wireless' BYOD page and enter your phone's IMEI to confirm that your device is compatible.

Phones from Apple, Samsung, Google, and many other manufacturers are supported if they are unlocked.

Step 2: Choose a Total Wireless Plan

Select the plan that best fits your needs.

Popular options include:

  • Total 5G Unlimited
  • Total 5G Unlimited+
  • Total Max 5G

All plans run on Verizon's network, and many include unlimited talk, text, and data.

Step 3: Activate Your SIM or eSIM

Go to the Total Wireless activation page.

Choose:

  • Keep My Number if you want to transfer your AT&T number.
  • New Number if you want a new phone number.

Follow the activation instructions to complete the setup.

  • Current phone number
