This is great, I used it in my Samsung Galaxy S5 to move off Verizon's ripoff plan. Total Wireless gives me WAY more data at a vastly lower price.
Snatch your wallet out of Verizon's greedy fingers. Total Wireless rocks.

I don't understand the hate on this. It all can be avoided with a little due diligence on the buyers part. If Verizon has good coverage in your area, you will be fine, if not then it won't, ask around. On the Total Wireless website, they can check via your phones IEMI number to see if it is compatible. I was paying $70 for 2 lines on Cricket and I made a mistake on the porting of my numbers to Total Wireless, the reps were very helpful in helping me fix the problem. I never had a problem with Cricket (AT&T) but 5gb per month more for $10 less is a deal in my book. Total Wireless also does not throttle your bandwidth. Also depending on your tax rate, Target may ave a better rate on refill cards than the auto fill discount.

This is not a review about the Total Wireless service as I have not had it for long enough to make a judgement on it.
Focusing solely on the Bring Your Own Phone SIM Card activation kit, I had a very positive experience. It was quite easy to get the new SIM card into my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. The printed instructions included in this kit are simple and direct you to their online BYOP setup. Once you get to the online instructions, they are quite straight forward and easy to follow to activate service through Total Wireless. I ported my number from Verizon Wireless and my phone was ready to go within about 5 minutes after completing the online setup process.

The actual service through Total Wireless may or may not be good, but I cannot say at this time. The ease of the BYOP kit made switching a very simple experience.

Huge savings VS Verizon made the hassle of BYOP worth it.

I did have 1 in 5 fail on me, which was most likely due to getting associated with a really complicated device activation, so I'd recommend adding an extra or two--just in case.

Great coverage and cell services on the Verizon network! Only downside is there is no store to go I to if you have any issues. Otherwise, I would total-ly recommend!
