If Total Wireless uses sim cards, it's running on a GSM network. If it says it's not compatible, there isn't anything you can do.

Total wireless may run on Verizon but verizon is a hybrid of gsm (Sim card) and CDMA. So total wireless could use parts of Verizon,s signal but not all. Sry but if the phone doesn't have a similar card slot and total wireless uses simple cards your out of luck. I would try to get your money back on the phone.

Call total wireless and ask which bands they run on and the look for a phone that supports those bands.
