As the cost of living rises, finding ways to save money is more important than ever. One of the easiest ways to cut down on expenses? Your phone bill. Right now, Total by Verizon is offering an incredible deal: Get a free Apple iPhone 13 (128GB) when you switch providers and sign up for a 3-month Unlimited or 5G+ Unlimited plan.
Here’s how the pricing works:
- Total 5G Unlimited 3-month plan: $50/month + $55 for the first month = $155 total
- Total 5G+ Unlimited plan: $60/month + $65 for the first month = $185 total
The upgraded 5G+ plan includes extras like unlimited hotspot, Disney+ Premium and a $10 international calling credit to 120+ destinations.
So, what’s the catch? While you still get access to Verizon’s network, you’re trading some full-service carrier features for a prepaid, budget-friendly experience. For most people, that’s a fair exchange, but be sure to check if any must-have services would be lost in the switch.
I personally made a similar move from T-Mobile to Mint and haven’t looked back. These value carriers offer real savings, and I haven’t noticed any difference in service since I switched. Some of Total by Verizon’s perks include:
- Unlimited data, talk and text
- Verizon 5G network coverage
- No contracts
- Price guaranteed for 5 years (taxes and fees included)
While it’s not the newest iPhone, the iPhone 13 is still a fantastic device. It features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, dual 12MP cameras with Night mode and 4K video and Apple’s A15 Bionic chip. You’ll also get 5G support, Face ID and great battery life, plus no financing charges.
This deal is only available online and requires a new activation, port-in from another carrier and ID verification. There’s a limit of two devices per account, and device taxes and fees may apply. The offer runs through Oct. 1, 2025—or while supplies last—so don’t wait too long if you’re considering the switch.
