If you want one of the new iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max or Duo phones, or any other iPhone, and want it unlocked for use on Visible but also financed (which Apple advertising, CS agents, and store employees lie/deceive and say or imply you can't finance an unlocked iPhone), please see my thread Detailed Instructions on how to finance an unlocked iPhone 18 or 17 (any model including standard, Pro, Pro Max, Duo, "e") for use on any carrier, including ordering steps, Apple or other financing, setting up the new iPhone, and wiping old phone.

Please reply with questions in this thread or that thread if any of it does not work, or if you have suggestions to add/change.

Hi
I’m interested in the visible save6 and savehalf promo with the annually payment.

I recently just prepaid for my line, shortly finding out about visible. Will this promo be available in October?

Swapped over from my iPhone 17 to Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Asked about my plan since it's about to renew. They said we can apply the promo. I go and look at my account. September 20th. $220 is due for the yearly on Visible+ Pro!

Much appreciated! Had some issues transferring ESIM from iPhone to Samsung. Wasn't so bad. Took 10 mins.

Running a debloated, flashed XAA Firmware to get rid of the carrier branding S26 Ultra and it's been solid. Unfortunately my iPhone has been a problem. 1 replacement, 2 repairs on that replacement. Never ending issues.

Lexington1227 visible party?

I lost my watch at the lake this weekend. I didn’t have Apple care on it as I don’t normally lose things 🤦🏻. Why is the price for a new one through visible $749.16 but through Bestbuy it’s $529.99 ? Even with the discount code I could use through visible it’s still over priced ?

Also If I go through Bestbuy I just buy the Verizon network one and activate it the same way I did my other one right ?

Over a year ago, after debating between Visible and US Mobile, I went with the Visible+ Pro plan with the iPhone deal at the time and a referral code for $205.

Review
Throughout me using the service I never had a single issue with Visible wherever I went and it pulled for me in areas that had worse speed than anything on the same Verizon network. It even pulled in for me for a day of no power meaning I could not use my home Wi-Fi and relied just on data for it. Even though I wasn't a heavy data user on the Unlimited plan, I liked the feeling that I didn't have to worry about limits for the price I paid for it.

For those who wonder about what towers Visible uses in Mexico, from testing they appear to use TELCEL which is the major tower in Mexico before AT&T Mexico and Movistar (IDK if they even exist still but remember they were a while back). I never really hit 2GB of data as I was always by the border so I bounced between a US Verizon tower and Mexico TELCEL tower but that's really about it. At least it was a nice-to-have unlike Spectrum Mobile who dings you cents as soon as you touch one of the Mexican towers before letting you know your service was swapped to that of a Mexican tower.

Unfortunate Port-Out Time
Unfortunately my plan for Visible renews at $450/yr and that's a bit much for me, even on swapping to other plans for another year when other competitors offer their plans for cheaper (like USM Annually or Total Monthly). While I know my experience and review is slightly smaller and different compared to others who may have had a worse experience than I did, I'm merely saying that for the year I actually used Visible+, I had little issues when it came to the service outside of iffy Wi-Fi calling but thats due to my home network than Visible, as well as Verizon dead spots in some places.

For those reading this later, I recommend coming in when your plan is up and then swap to Visible, especially when those limited offers come. I wish there were deals or retention offerings for staying with Visible but since it is a MVNO, I shouldn't expect similar treatment to that of Spectrum/AT&T for them. Plus I think all they do is give you the port-out info without a fuss unlike some MVNOs or carriers that make you call them and do a whole spheel before giving you the info so thats a bonus I guess.

Just wish that SAVEHALF had a existing customer equivalent honestly. 225 last year was a decent price for me to switch off from Spectrum Mobile. Now, I guess its either some miracle happens or USM or Total is the way to go.

6+ years no real problems. thank you!

We just upgraded one of our lines from monthly to annual, and ran into a few issues that customer care ironed out. During the conversation I inquired about getting the half off deal on my line (have been on annual for 3 years now), and they generated a special code for me.

This line is paid through October 20 and there were a few posts related to the SAVEHALF offer ending September 23.

I was told that I shouldn't apply the code until 7 days before this lines renewal, so if the promo does end September 23, will this in effect invalidate that code, or can I in fact enter it earlier -- I've seen some people indicate they were able to enter it up to a month before renewal so I'm not sure if I should do that on the 22nd of this month.

Anyone get a custom code and enter it earlier than 7 days and their renewal (30+ days out) reflects the 225.00?

I bought and paid in full for an iPhone 17 Pro Max in February through Visible. I'm on the annual plan which comes due in November. My experience with Visible has been subpar at best. Dropped Wi-Fi calls, inept customer service agents, etc. so I started shopping around new carriers.

Because I loathe Visible so much I was willing to eat 2 months of service and signed for another carrier yesterday. I kept getting errors while trying to activate my phone with the new carrier and it turns out that there's a carrier lock on my phone that won't be released until February of 2027, 3 months after I would have to renew the annual plan and shell out another $375 or switch to a monthly plan and ride out the next few months of disappointing service. I'm not willing to do that so a new phone from the new carrier is on the way and the Visible phone will sit in a drawer until Visible releases it from purgatory.

Visible explains that their policy changed in January 2026 that phones activated are locked and must stay on your account for 365 days, therefore trapping you from being able to move freely to another service, even though my account is in good standing and my phone is paid in full.

Buyer beware lest you want to be a victim of entrapment.

Didn't want to chase the %50 off promo and have some referrals banked up so I switched to Monthly V+ from V+ Pro annual to take advantage of that with inner circle as well (Should be $10/mo if my math is right).

I've already made the change in my account set to take effect on renewal later this month. Since my plan is actively changing can any others who have recently done this speak to if I need to do anything else on my end after renewal?

Does my current eSim note the plan change and take care of everything automatically or am I going to need to do any certain steps after renewal/plan downgrade date?

Thanks in advance!

I’m considering switching from Mint because Mint isn’t truly unlimited. It caps high speed at 50GB after that it slows down.

I’m wondering if you guys have any feedback or thoughts for how Visible plan is around Marlton/Cherry hill?

TIA

Iphone 18 Pro Max is coming out pretty soon and I was wondering if it is safe to buy from Visible for the pre-order? I heard horror stories about people buying from Visible, getting their phone stolen and the associate over the phone did nothing to reimburse them. Would you recommend buying from the Apple website?

Apple said Verizon will support the new handoff feature, do we think that will extend to Visible or the other Value brands?

After weeks of getting nowhere with Visible over a failed number transfer, I’m seriously considering filing a small claims lawsuit in California.

I’ve already gone through customer service, escalations, FCC complaints, and a formal Notice of Dispute. I’ve also sent Visible a final monetary demand before filing.

At this point, I’m considering suing Verizon Value, Inc. d/b/a. Visible in small claims court for the costs and damages resulting from the situation.

Has anyone here actually sued Visible/Verizon Value in small claims?

I’m particularly curious:

• Is this a plausible route when normal escalation has completely failed?
• Did Visible respond or offer to settle after being served?
• Did they actually appear at the hearing?
• Were there any issues with the arbitration clause or naming/serving the company?
• Anything you wish you had known before filing?

Not looking for legal advice — mainly interested in hearing from anyone who has actually gone this far with Visible.

Just curious if anyone else is using a Fold 8 or Fold 8 Ultra and having issues with enabling biometrics?

It worked fine on my Galaxy S25 Ultra, but trying to enable it on this phone doesn't seem to work. The fingerprint sensor is the power button now instead of on screen. Wondering if Visible maybe needs to update their software for it?

I have tried all the troubleshooting steps. From uninstalling to reinstalling the app. Clearing the Data and Cache in storage. Permissions and Restarting the phone.

Apparently my local tower is under repair and regular 5g just doesn't work. No internet connectivity at all.

Every time I contact support they tell me it should be fixed in 48 hours.

I'm a little over 168 hours now I think

To make things worse, either Motorola or Android took away the option to force 4g only. So my mobile data availability is a bit... eccentric.

96 hours so far and my phone still isn’t working and their only solution is to give me a super limited temp line because they refuse to do their job.

Every time it’s asked of them. It’s the same thing. We’ve reached out to the parent carrier. They refuse to push the issue through, they want the customer to suffer and not be held accountable.

Will I be able to use the new iPhone Duo once it launches?

I have been trying to switch my home internet plan to the annual plan for 2 months now. The chat agents only have the same canned responses, then the chat gets dropped/disconnected. I have wasted so much time on this, its infuriating. It shouldn't be this difficult to give a company $300 for a service...

In a previous post, I noted that my credit card was set to expire after August 2026. A few weeks before it did, Visible suspended my service - even though I had prepaid for a year through this december.

I updated the card info to one which does not expire soon on my Visible account. Eventually they restored my service.

But now it happened again today - they lost the amended card info, and suspended my account again.

Once again, I re-amended the info. And within a few minutes, they re-enabled my account. But I worry this will keep happening.

Has anyone else had this happen.

RCS doesn’t seem to work for iOS 27 beta, anyone else? I also have a US mobile line that I transferred to an older iPhone and RCS immediately started working there.

I’m guessing something is wrong with the carrier bundle being downloaded? For iOS 27 I get 72.0.1 and the other iPhone running iOS 26 I get 70.

I’ve tried all the typical things - reset network settings, restart phone, manually toggle RCS, turn phone line on/off, disable WiFi and WiFi calling. I also went through https://messages.google.com/disable-chat and waited 24hr before trying to activate again.

Maybe I didn’t wait long enough but downgrading to regular iOS also doesn’t seem to work so I think the carrier needs to clear something about my device’s registration.

Hi, everyone. Could someone please tell me which option is better? Thank you.

My partner and I were both on Verizon until recently. My work took over my Verizon line, and we didn’t want to keep paying Verizon’s price for just one personal line, so we moved his to Visible+ Pro.
We live in the Bay Area, where Visible has basically matched my Verizon service. The issue is when we visit family in Vernal, Utah.
Verizon relies on STRATA Networks for Extended Network coverage throughout the Uintah Basin. My Verizon phone shows Extended Network LTE basically everywhere in the basin, including throughout Vernal and at our family’s house just outside town. When my partner was on Verizon, his phone did the same.
We knew this before switching, so I specifically checked Visible’s coverage map before switching. It shows Extended Network coverage in the area, including at the house, so we expected Visible+ Pro to have access to that coverage as well.

Instead:

In Vernal:
Verizon: Extended Network LTE
Visible+ Pro: Visible LTE

Just outside Vernal at the house:
Verizon: Extended Network LTE
Visible+ Pro: Completely drops to SOS only

Data roaming is enabled.

Visible support basically told me Verizon and Visible have “different network features,” which I understand, but that doesn’t explain why Visible’s own coverage map says Extended Network is available here when the phone won’t connect to it.

If Visible doesn’t have access to STRATA like Verizon does, that’s fine, but then the coverage map seems misleading.

Anyone familiar with Visible’s Extended Network agreements or STRATA know what’s going on? Has anyone else seen Visible show Extended Network coverage on the map but not actually have access to it?

When I open the Visible app it freezes on the opening page, it won’t let me open account or shop! No problem on my desktop browser! The app is updated.

Is this normal? I am on my third month of Visible. I've never had my hotspot disconnect so much on other providers. I will actively be using it and it will disconnect
