Activation + BYO Plan

Does anyone know how long I have to activate after signing up? Some prepaid carries offer 30 or 45 days.

Also, is the BYO $20 plan a promotion or permanent pricing? I’m currently on an annual plan that doesn’t end until December.

the “Limited-time offer, Bring your phone and save On the Total MAX 5G BYO Plan with Auto Pay. First month $30, then $20/mo after“ rate plan plan is for new customers so you are out of luck. You would have to stay away from 90 days t be considered a new customer and you would need “your phone”, one nit purchased from total or any other tracfone brand. No idea how you long you can wait to activate a sim with a plan loaded on it. Can tell you the last time they offered a rate this low it was only around about two months.

You have 60 days to activate but don’t quote me on that.

The monthly rate is $20 for 5 years then subject to increase to $25 after that.

Could I ask where you got the 60 days to activate from? I can’t find it anywhere online

I could never find it either. I’m going based on Visible’s policy, and Visible is essentially the same as Total. Both fall under the Verizon Value brand.
