If you’re in the market for a new iPhone but don’t want to break the bank, TheFrugalFella has found an incredible deal that lets you get your hands on an iPhone 11 for just $69! Here’s how you can take advantage of this amazing offer through Topcashback and Total by Verizon.
Step 1: Sign Up for Topcashback (and Adjust Your Privacy Settings if you’re using Safari on an iPhone or Mac)
First things first, you’ll need to create an account at Topcashback. Topcashback is a website that offers cashback on purchases made through their links at various retailers (see our previous article here).
- Go to the Topcashback’s website and sign up for a free account (or login if you already have one).
- Once your account is set up (remember you will need to click the confirmation email TopCashBack will send you upon registration), search for the Total by Verizon store within the Topcashback site.

(Optional): If you’re using Safari as a Browser in iOS or MacOS adjust the Privacy Settings to temporarily let TopCashBack track your purchase:
For iPhone users on iOS 16 or iOS 17:
- Open the ‘Settings’ app.
- Tap on ‘Cellular’.
- Select ‘Cellular Data Options’.
- Toggle off ‘Limit IP Address Tracking’.
- Go back to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Safari’.
- Turn off ‘Prevent Cross-Site Tracking’, ‘Hide IP address’, ‘Block All Cookies’ and ‘Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement’. For iOS17 only make sure that ‘Advanced Tracking and Fingerprint Protection’ is set to “Private Browsing”. In iOS 17 these last 3 options, are found under the “Advanced” page, with the link found at the end of the Safari setting page.
- It is probably overkill to deactivate all the AD privacy protection, but we want to make sure the transaction tracks and we receive the cashback. You can reactivate them right after the purchase.

Step 2: Purchase Your iPhone 11
Now that you’re set up with Topcashback, it’s time to buy your iPhone 11.
- Follow the Topcashback link to Total by Verizon’s website, as shown in the first image of this post.
- Find the iPhone 11 listing and add it to your cart. It should be priced at $49.
- You will also need to select the $50 unlimited plan during purchase. Don’t worry; you only need to activate this plan for one month.
- The promotion also requires you to port a number to Total by Verizon. If you don’t have one, you can activate a brand new Visible number in 5 minutes, as explained in our previous article, and use that number to port in to Total by Verizon.

Step 3: Activate Your Plan
After purchasing your iPhone 11, you’ll need to activate the $50 unlimited plan.
- Follow the instructions provided by Total by Verizon to activate the plan.
- Ensure your phone is working with the new plan.
Step 4: Wait for Your Cashback and Unlock
With your plan activated, you’re almost there. Just a couple more steps:
- Topcashback will process the $30 cashback for your purchase within a few weeks. Make sure to check your Topcashback account to confirm when the cashback is deposited.
- You only need to pay for the plan for the first 30 days. You don’t need to buy a second month of service. After 60 days, Total by Verizon will fully unlock your iPhone 11 automatically.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New iPhone!
After 60 days, your iPhone 11 will be unlocked, and you’ll have only spent a total of $69 after receiving your cashback. Enjoy your new iPhone without the hefty price tag!
Tips for a Smooth Experience
- Keep all receipts and emails related to your purchase and activation. In the rare instance the cashback does not track (for example if you have privacy settings in your phone that prevent tracking across websites), you can open a claim with TopCashBack and provide order number and email associated with the order for them to “chase” your cashback.
- Set reminders for any deadlines, like the 60-day unlock and deactivate autopay if you’re not planning to use the Total by Verizon line.
Conclusion
This deal is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to get a new iPhone without spending a lot of money. By following these steps, you can enjoy your new gadget with a little extra cash left in your pocket.
