Once the 60 day period following device activation expires, your phone will be unlocked."
Just be aware that if you buy the phone through visible that it will likely be locked to providing a SINGLE device at a time hotspot through the visible service.
In other words, I bought my pixel from Amazon and I can hotspot 4 devices to it, but my wife's visible purchased phone can only hotspot 1 device.

Apps like PDANet[google.com], SecureTether[google.com], or NetShare[google.com], etc. ought to overcome that limit. I've personally done it with the first two (albeit not yet tried on Visible), although I don't recommend registering the second one due to my support requests being ignored despite paying for it - still works for free at a capped speed.
"limit One" make this service works as an AP Access Point client, not a hotspot.

I paid $599 for Pixel 7, with $300 gift card and the VISIBUNDLE (Speakers that I have no use for), now Pixel 7 goes for $499, I'd have preferred this even more. That being said I have enjoyed an extra month of use.
spare DD-WRT router in client / AP mode solves that issue.

I hope one day visible can increase the limit.

So basically, the carrier is what limits the hotspot, if I put an AT&T Sim card in it with no hotspot restrictions then I can hotspot to three tablets at once if I wanted to?
Is there anyone that left their newly purchased visible phone completely unopened in the box, activated the sim in a different phone, and still received their rebate and also had their unused phone unlocked without issues?
