Normally has a 5Mbps speed cap. Don't know when the deal expires.

When it expires, the speed cap will be re-engaged, but only for new members after that point. Anyone who gets uncapped speeds from today will get to keep them as long as they remain a Visible subscriber.

There's a phone compatibility checker:
https://www.visible.com/compatibility

Apple
iPhone 6, 6s, SE, 7, 8, X, XS, XS Max, and XR

Caution Buying - THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS - BILLING IS A MESS - NOT WORTH THE HASSLE AT ALL IF YOU USE THE PHONE FOR BUSINESS OR IF YOU NEED 100% RELIABILITY
PORTING IS EITHER VERY BAD OR WORKS GREAT. IT'S ALMOST A COINFLIP. IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN THEIR PORTING LIMBO. MORE LIKELY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, EXPECT 5-14 DAYS FOR THE PORT TO COMPLETE

Visible customer service is overwhelmed because of the deals they are offering, can take hours to reply to you.

No 1X / 3G service, no domestic roaming, high latency/ping, heavy network deprioritization with and without network congestion.

Video streaming is throttled as well as tethering. Just an fyi

Note there are reports of Visible not working on the Pixel 3 series if you are running the Android Q Beta, you may have to downgrade to activate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_..._the_beta/

Visible also has problems [reddit.com] validating addresses [twitter.com] and they have no interest in fixing these issues.

You get the $20 credit on the next month's bill. You get charged $40 for the first month. If you're doing a swap for the ZTE Visible R2, you get a return label in the box with the SIM card (separate).

$20 OFF FIRST MONTH REFERRAL CODES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON SLICKDEALS OR BY PM!

My sister is trying this carrier out and it's been terrible. Every conversation I have with her cuts in and out and loses reception. The worst quality I've ever heard. I wouldn't recommend it in the Northern NJ area.
It's get deprioritized over postpaid. Not usable when it's congested. Just like all Verizon prepaid.
The offer is valid for a limited time, but the uncapped speed is permanent for as long as you remain a member. When the offer expires, the speed cap will be re-engaged, but only for new members after that point. Anyone who gets uncapped speeds from today will get to keep them as long as they remain a Visible subscriber.

The problem is people like you are just speaking out their ass..
Have had Visible since launch. Have never once had a dropped call..

Just like the person you're responding to did, YOU are making the same mistaken assumption that your personal experience is universal to all. I'm glad your service is going well, but visit https://www.reddit.com/r/visible to see plenty of posts from people where that isn't the case.

TL;DR: "Pot, meet kettle."

How is total wireless? I'm thinking about switching from GoogleFi bc call quality is very poor (choppy/intermittent) and voicemail issues.

Thinking to go Total Wireless, have 2 lines and we aren't data hogs.....2-3GB per month.
It's Verizon. Basically... Coming from VZW to TW was an easy switch. The only thing I've missed (or noticed) is Visual Voicemail. Other than that, I haven't really noticed a difference. Two phones and I think 15 gigs for $60 a month is a sweet deal. I'm not a heavy data user, a couple gigs on most months. I think I'll probably stay where I'm at. This sounds like a great deal, but I don't really use much data, not enough to pay an extra $20 a month on two lines..

Only if you buy a phone.

True, but assuming you stay with them for a while a cheap phone is a minor cost. Presumably you can even switch it out and sell their phone on Swappa, Fleabay, or Craigslist to recoup some of that cost. Certainly worth considering if you need decent service & coverage.

i checked the visible sim and used phone doctor plus and the network name said AT&T. lol

And it's utterly impossible for some random app to get it wrong, eh? Visible is OWNED by Verizon [duckduckgo.com].

One other cool thing: Visible sent every user a $50 Amazon gift card last Christmas. No guarantee that they will do it again, of course.

Unlikely unless they have another serious bout of major issues. That was basically an attempt to bribe people to put up with them while they iron things out. Might have worked on those without a serious dependency on their phones, but for many others it wasn't enough to justify putting up with the ongoing troubles.

Quote from tbone209 :
would Visible R2 be worth buying just as a hotspot
i already have phone service

I'd rather get the "iPad" plan from AT&T for $35/mo. There's no limit other than a supposed deprioritization after something like 23GB, but most every report I've seen says nobody's noticed any kind of downgrade from it. I've been using it in an old AT&T hotspot myself for the past few months as home internet and no issues thus far. I've seen people claim to have used over 2TB in a month without a problem.

Plenty of discussion all over the internet about it, so shouldn't be hard to find a "how-to" if you're interested - try to make sure the post is within the past year or so just to be sure you're working with up-to-date info as AT&T did stop offering it for a while.

Based on what I've read on reddit, customer service has been swamped since they raised the 5mb speed caps yesterday due to new signups.

It's app based.

I used to think so aswell, but it's not what you think, it uses the regular phone dialer and text message app like other service's. "Phone service in an app" just means that there's no physical visible store.

I just ported out of Visible to Metro PCS. I got the iPhone X refurb deal with $200 gift card with no hassles. Now have the unlocked iPhone X on Metro and am having great service. Visible was nearly unusable it was so slow.

visible services is pretty solid, much better than my sprint free plan, especially with the uncapped speed, much more faster on loading pages and apps. one draw back is the depriotitation, i was at the game, the internet is completely gone, stay 4ever loading, basically no services, cant get an uber home. beware where u go and when, services will be gone until all the postpaid veriOn cust leave the venue/site

I did a month with Total Wireless on an iphone along with my Note8 on postpaid Verizon. I took them both to work and went places no one else could get a signal but Verizon.

The Total Wireless service was just as good as Verizon postpaid except for the speed limitation (at the time). I think I was seeing 5mbps but it was steady. At the 6GB mark it cuts data completely, no unlimited 2G.

If I had to go on Total Wireless I wouldn't be bothered by it, it was a good experience.
