Total Call Mobile OverviewSearch This Site:
CoverageThis company is another mobile virtual network provider that relies on the Sprint PCS network. So coverage will be along those lines. Their website only has a rough map of the coverage, but they provide an 800 number you can call to check if they offer coverage in your area.
RatesTotal Call Mobile actually has both a pay as you go plan and three monthly plans.PrepaidAll call will cost you 10 cents minute. Text messages run 5 cents each.You have the add a minimum of $10 of airtime every 90 days to keep your service active. Thus, you have to add a little over $40 per year to keep. Pretty cheap. Monthly plansThere are three monthly plans. For 29.99 per month you get 1000 minutes and 1000 text messages per month. For 39.99 you get unlimited talk and text, and for 49.99 per month you get unlimited talk text and data.International CallingRatesYou can make international calls at reasonable rates on this plans. Actually, many international call don't cost anything over the usual airtime rate. For example, to call a UK landline doesn't cost anything extra other than your airtime. However, to call a UK cell phone costs about 20 cents extra per minute.International Direct DialingOne advantage of international calling with Total Call Mobile is that you can directly dial the full international number. You don't have to dial an access number first like you do with Tracfone.PhonesYou can select from a small selection of phones online. When I last checked (January 2012) they had a Samsung A640 flip phone, a Samsung Heat slider phone, and a Sanyo 2700 (vertical) QWERTY keyboard phone.This company doesn't put a whole lot of resources into their marketing. The photo of the Samsung Heat shows the logo of Helio, a company that went bankrupt a while back. The phone orders are fulfilled by a company called BabbleBug.

Total Call Mobile used to be unique because they offered customer service in Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog. However, since I last checked in on them, they dropped everything except Spanish. Their rates are not bad either.
