The Road to 5,000 Stores: Total Wireless Growth with Jay Miglionico

Verizon Value’s Jay Miglionico on Total Wireless’ Explosive Growth & Dealer Strategy | The Boon of Wireless Podcast

In this episode of The Boon of Wireless Podcast, host Jon Horovitz sits down with Jay Miglionico, Associate Vice President of the Indirect Channel for Verizon Value, to break down the rapid expansion of Total Wireless and what it means for dealers across the country.

Jay shares his 24-year wireless journey from Sprint retail to Boost Mobile leadership, running Boost’s indirect channel at Dish Network, and now leading indirect growth for Total Wireless, Simple Mobile, and Verizon Prepaid. He reveals how Total Wireless has surpassed 2,000 stores, is opening roughly three new stores per day, and is targeting 4,000–5,000 locations nationwide — powered by strong dealer partnerships, master agents, competitive compensation, MDF support, and Verizon’s award-winning 5G network.

The episode also covers Verizon’s segmentation strategy, why Total Wireless is not sold in corporate Verizon stores, dealer vetting expectations, and how retailers can apply at totalwireless.com. Jay also announces a Tax Season 2026 port-in promotion targeting Cricket customers, offering up to $15 off Unlimited plans with a five-year price guarantee.

If you’re a wireless dealer, MVNO operator, or telecom professional, this episode is packed with strategic insight on growth, retail profitability, and the evolving prepaid market.
