Total Wireless is making a bold play for budget-conscious mobile users with two new promotions aimed at customers leaving Metro or Cricket. Backed by Verizon’s 5G network, the prepaid brand is offering deep discounts, free phones, and long-term pricing stability—without compromising coverage or features.

Two Unlimited Lines, Two Free Phones, $65 per Month

The headline offer gives switchers two unlimited lines with access to Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband for just $65 per month. The plan includes:

• Two free 5G smartphones
• Unlimited talk, text, and data
• Mobile hotspot support
• A 5-year price guarantee

The offer is available exclusively at Total Wireless retail locations and represents a $20 monthly savings compared to regular pricing. Verizon’s fastest 5G network, Ultra Wideband, adds extra appeal for those who rely on speed and reliability.

50% Off for Single-Line BYOD Customers

In addition to the two-line deal, Total Wireless is targeting individual users with a 50% discount offer. New customers who bring their own unlocked phone and switch from a comparable Metro or Cricket plan can score the Total 5G Unlimited plan for just $25 per month with Auto Pay. The first month is billed at $30, with the discount applying from month two.

Plan highlights include:

• Full access to Verizon’s 4G LTE and 5G networks
• Unlimited data, talk, and text
• Mobile hotspot functionality
• International calling and texting
• A $200 credit toward a new 5G phone after 12 monthly payments
• 5-year price guarantee

This promotion is designed to deliver measurable savings for customers who already have a device they love but want better network performance and value.

Verizon Value Group Bets on Affordability

“There’s a lot of noise from some other wireless brands, but when you look at the facts, Total Wireless outshines the competition at every turn…” said David Kim, Chief Revenue Officer at Verizon Value. “With our awesome new limited-time offer and guaranteed 50% savings for single line switchers who bring their own device, we’re proving that customers don’t have to sacrifice quality to get unbeatable value.”

Switching Made Simple

Total Wireless continues to distinguish itself from other prepaid carriers by combining competitive pricing with premium coverage. Both offers are available now for a limited time, and customers must visit a participating Total Wireless store to take advantage.

Nothing this week announced the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the second smartphone under its budget-focused CMF sub-brand. Priced at just $279, the Phone 2 Pro takes a bold step forward with modular features, a striking design, and hardware that rivals many mid-range flagships. While it’s being sold in the US through a beta program with limited warranty support, the phone brings a lot to the table, especially for the price.

Refined Hardware with a Design-First Approach

The CMF Phone 2 Pro sports a distinctive exterior, complete with exposed stainless steel screws and a modular back panel that doubles as an accessory attachment point. Users can customize their phone with magnetic wallets, interchangeable lenses, lanyards, and even covers that double as stands. At just 7.8mm thin and 185 grams, it’s the slimmest phone Nothing has released to date.

It’s available in three finishes, orange, black, and white, and features an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

Display and Performance Upgrades

At the heart of the phone is a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, capable of hitting a peak brightness of 3000 nits. It supports a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, HDR10+, and a 1000 Hz touch sampling rate for smooth and responsive interaction.

Inside, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro powers the experience, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The phone includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and dual 5G with peak download speeds of up to 3.0 Gbps.

Battery life is handled by a 5,000mAh cell with 33W fast charging. Nothing claims up to 22 hours of YouTube streaming and over 1,200 charge cycles with 90% battery health retention.

Four Cameras and AI-Powered Photography

On the back is a versatile four-camera setup: a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 16 MP front-facing camera. The system is supported by Nothing’s TrueLens Engine 3, which enhances dynamic range and low-light performance using AI algorithms.

Portrait photography gets a boost from multiple focal lengths and custom image tuning, while the updated camera app introduces quick video access, burst shooting, and new creative modes.

Nothing OS 3 and the “Essential Key”

The CMF Phone 2 Pro ships with Nothing OS 3, which leans into customization and productivity. A new side-mounted “Essential Key” acts as a shortcut for screenshots or voice memos, while the AI-powered “Essential Space” organizes saved content and generates contextual suggestions.

Smart Drawer organizes apps by category, shared widgets promote meaningful connections, and an optional ChatGPT widget enables on-the-go voice interactions.

Limited US Availability, Beta Program Only

The CMF Phone 2 Pro supports key US 4G and 5G bands, but it’s only available through Nothing’s beta program, which requires user feedback and includes a short 14-day warranty. Buyers should treat it as a trial device, though Nothing appears to be testing the waters for a larger US rollout.

Pre-orders are open now, with shipments beginning May 7. More information can be found on the official CMF website.
