Checked the website to see if my phone was supported, entered in the MEID number and the site came back my phone was supported. I checked several times over the week to make sure before heading to Walmart to purchase the card for 2 lines with 5GB of data, At the local walmart, the purchase wa just over $60 plus taxes.

When I returned home, I created my account on the website to start the transfer from Verizon. The system accepted both phone MEID's that they will work on the system and started the process. I also had to pay an additional charge online to transfer the phones from Verizon. That charge was around $20.

Everything was all set, just needed to wait for the transfer. A few hours later, my phone stopped working on Verizon. The Total Wireless instructions said I needed to dial *22890 to activat my phone on the system. My phone wouldn't send the *22890.

The next morning I still had no phone service and called Total Wireless. After waiting and explaining the issue, they said my phone was not compatible with the system.

After a discussion, they would credit me only the transfer fees and not the amount for the prepaid service. I didn't use the system at all, not one second of the service. But, I am out of the $60+ tax!

I could understand if I used the system, but I wasn't able to use the service at all. Why should I be out the $60 when the website phone check states it would work?
