Thank you for the reply.

Would their unlocked version work on Total Wireless, which is a Verizon MVNO?

It looks like it has Band 2, Band 4 and Band 13, which looks like they are the main Verizon LTE bands.

It's not a universal unlocked model but a GSM-only model, based on listings at Samsung's authorized retailers such as these:

It's not likely eligible for activation on the Vzw network, because Vzw uses a whitelist, which is followed by their MVNOs.

There's a possibility it will work with an already active TW SIM card, but you'll only know for sure if you try it yourself or find credible reports that it does.

Based on the following link from Verizon, it is certified for Verizon:

However, you have to try it out yourself to see if it will work on Total Wireless or any other Verizon MVNO.

I usually buy ATT prepaid phones on sale and put on an ATT reseller like Red Pocket. They always have the ATT bands, of course.

Just got an Umidigi F1 for $142.49 because they have band 12/17, unlike the Xiomi/Redmi phones. Only missing rarely used band 30.

People rave about the Redmis but they probably aren't too happy if they need coverage in a rural area or large bulding where the long wavelength 12/17 band comes in handy.

Samsung Galaxy A51 unlocked version just became available today 5/4/20; has all the bands for US carriers:

I believe if one wants a 4 carrier phone it has to be VZW branded because of this.

The Verizon whitelist is only important if you need to activate new service using that specific phone.

Unless they close it up, nothing should prevent you from taking an active sim and getting it to work on your phone even if not on the whitelist.

It doesn't have to be Vzw branded to be able to be able to be officially activated on the Vzw network. I just has to be on the Vzw whitelist, which I believe manufacturers pay for.

For example, most Motorola phones, all Nexus and Pixel phones, the Essential phone, most newer iPhone models, and some Samsung and some LG phones, can all be used on all 4 major networks in the US, and most networks worldwide if there's proper band support.

I know that this thread is for phones, not hotspots, but has anybody here seen any sort of list for universal, unlocked hotspots?

Be aware ZTE Axon Pro is not whitelisted for Verizon, so the Verizon SIM would have to be already activated in a Verizon certified phone before you can use it in this device.
