Total Wireless now covers your Western Union transfer fees

Total Wireless, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) owned by Verizon, has today announced that it's the first and only US carrier to embed a global monthly transfer benefit to its plans, in partnership with Western Union. Total Wireless customers can send money to friends and family in over 200 countries and territories via Western Union's mobile app or website, provided that they are on the MAX 5G BYO, MAX 5G and ALL ACCESS plans.
