Broken Systems and Terrible Customer Service
Total wireless was fine for quite a while, then suddenly their auto refill system completely failed (approximately Feb. 2025). Despite being enrolled in auto refill and the credit card I used was the same one that worked each month without issue for several years, something was really wrong with their system. My phone was shut off monthly (despite confirmations that my auto refill would be renewing my plan by text. Each. And. Every. Month) and I had to restart service for $5 extra for four months. At first I trusted that their system would correct itself, but I finally contacted them in frustration. I asked for an IT ticket to address the issue with the auto refill process and a refund of the $20 I was overcharged. I got $5 and even more frustration after the interactions with customer service. I know they have the best coverage in my state (Verizon and resellers have had a de facto monopoly of coverage in North Dakota for years), but I'm transferring my service to another provider. It's just not worth the frustration when their systems malfunction and they don't take accountability. My money will go elsewhere and I'll warn others to do the same.
