The promotion pairs the TCL 50 XL NXTPAPER 5G – a handset marketed for its eye‑friendly display – with Total Wireless’s Max 5G service, an MVNO that runs on Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network.
The TCL phone features a 6.78‑inch matte, paper‑like screen that claims to reduce glare and eye strain, a 120 Hz refresh rate, multiple display modes for PWM‑sensitive users, and an RGB sensor that adjusts color temperature according to the time of day.
Hardware specifications include 8 GB of RAM, a 5,100 mAh battery, and an SD card slot for expandable storage, which the source notes are rare for a device in this price range.
Customers who activate the Max 5G plan receive unlimited talk, text and 5G data, an unlimited mobile hotspot, and free calling to and from Mexico. The plan also comes with a five‑year price guarantee, no contracts and no hidden fees.
Pricing for the Max 5G plan starts at $50 per month for a single line with AutoPay, with lower per‑line costs when multiple lines are added.
Total Wireless describes itself as a “what you see is what you get” MVNO, acknowledging that it may lack some perks of premium unlimited plans but emphasizing the simplicity of its offering.
