Top Comments
New members who (1) purchase a qualifying device or bring their own, (2) transfer their existing phone number from an Eligible Carrier, (3) activate their Visible service, and (4) complete 3 full months' service payments, are eligible to receive up to a $200 virtual gift card…
For the HomePod Mini, condition (4) is not listed. So, you do not need to pay for 3 months to keep your HomePod Mini.
HomePod Mini retails for $99, but can be found much cheaper.
Costco has them at $95.
Best buy has them as open box (Excellent) at $88.
Staples has them new at $89, but you need to follow through google shopping link to get the price (try incognito mode).

Other than the service, I found visible a pretty nice company to work with. Easy to port in, easy to port out. Got my 200 GC no problem. Minor issues I ran into they were able to fix.

I do wonder if I can just refer myself in the future months by porting in free Google Voice numbers as new lines (which would lower service costs down to $10 / month)?
Btw I ported in a Ting number that I bought the night before, couple things worth mentioning -
- As others have mentioned, you can grab a $1 Ting sim at target/BB that comes with $30 service included, so it's basically free (and cheaper than the $5 freedompop). Stock may be an issue though - my local BestBuy had one left and cancelled my pickup order because they couldn't locate it. Target had two left, and I picked up the last two.
- After you activate with Ting, you can port out immediately. However, the help center article about finding the port out info online was not accurate, at least for my account. There simply was no "Port Out Info" link under my Account Settings. Not sure if this is the case for everyone, or they've just disabled it for new accounts, but I had to message their Live Chat. I did this at 10pm last night, so it took ~30 minutes to get connected to someone, who confirmed that this information is not available to me online, only via chat. No issues getting the info from her though, actual convo took only a couple mins
So all in all, after factoring in the $200 GC and the homepod mini (I value at ~$50), it'll be ~$800 all in, including service for 3 months. Not bad for a day one deal without locking into a 24 month contract with one of the big carriers.

Other services (I've heard) do not have the latency issue with the gateways so they probably "seem" better. Now I did hear that Xfinity's tier plans (like 10GB a month) do not have the same issue in regard to deprioritization.
And to anyone that says every MVNO faces deprioritization, that's probably true. I just know with Cricket, I think I have ever felt the deprioritization twice and it could have been a phone issue, as my wife's phone was fine. Both times at or around Disney in FL. Even then it worked a couple minutes later.
It's one of the two "stickied" threads up top.

Where do you see the delivery estimate? Is yours shipped already?
I don't know why? Before I had Veizon service. Frankly speaking, Verizon is best than ATT and Tmobile those I ever used, But finally still port out to use cheap ok T-mobile bcos too expensive.
I did get some visible deals before and just keep # to get for bonus.
