How hard is it to cancel Total Wireless (Total by Verizon)?

Total Wireless (Total by Verizon) scores 62/100 (grade C) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a partially documented cancellation policy with notable gaps. Cancellation is available via phone.

Last reviewed 2026-06-16 · Documented-Policy tier · grade C

Total Wireless (Total by Verizon) is no-contract prepaid with no early-termination fee; there is no dedicated self-service cancel button, so the practical way to end service is to let the plan lapse at its Service End Date or port the number out (via Customer Care). To port out you need the Number Transfer PIN (text NTP to 611611 for the 6-digit PIN, valid 7 days) plus account info; once the number transfers the service deactivates immediately and you lose unused Service Days. Plans have no cash value and are non-refundable, with no refunds for unused service after the Service End Date, lost/stolen phones, or incompatible plans.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
