Terms and Conditions:

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).

True, I figure at MSRP the difference would be a wash but given the Visible deal with the 12, I could probably resell it closer to what I would pay for it ($400 after gift card rebate) than I would with the 13 Pro.

As much as I want the updated camera and high refresh display, figure I can wait one more year and get them with the 14 Pro. I only feel compelled to upgrade this year because I'm getting tired of using my iPhone SE2's small LCD screen
I think you have a good plan. I got my 12 Pro from Visible for $550 after prepaid debit card so getting $800 trade in at Best Buy was great.

I loved my SE2 but the battery life was killing me. Had to charge it in the early evening a second time or it'd be dead before I went to sleep. The 12 will be the perfect upgrade to hold you over til the 14 comes out.

Hi, how do you get iPhone from BestBuy? Doesn't that require activate new line or upgrade with T-Mobile?
Upgrade is fine, no upgrade fee - my own T-Mobile account wouldn't take on the website (supposedly because I have a government discount attached) so I used a relative's account and it went fine.

I have a quick question. The bank had declined the paypal payment before I recognized the transaction with them. Should I tell visible to reprocess or they would do it on their own? thanks

Put in a non activated AT&T SIM in the phone out of the box and the go to AT&Ts unlock portal and submit a request and within minutes you will get an email stating it's unlocked. I did this before anything so I don't know what would have happened if I put the Visible SIM in first. I did this for the 12 so I wonder if this would work for the 13?
I tried this on my just received iPhone 13 Pro Max from visible, no luck, on ATT page, it pops error on step 3 when input IMEI from the phone. The error messages says it's not ATT's locked phone. so can't submit a unlock ticket.
I guess the patched the loophole and only provide whitelist for identify each ISP's lock device.

btw, got the homepods mini redemption code right after port/activate my number through email.

Maybe the 12 I got wasn't locked who knows. I was hoping it would work for you

It's fine, I'd use the visible network for next 3 months anyways. I don't really need to unlock it immediately. And I thought sim card just provide connectivities these days. There are numerous way to reach out people, phone numbers not quite usable anyway.

Can you able to login to your Visible account?. If yes, Check the status- Data Privacy and Manage Identity- Status- If it says purchased, you can chat with them and ask them to process your payment once again but I doubt they will process the payments once again. They will suggest to submit new order with correct payment.

I brought my own iPhone 13 bought from Apple.com and ported my AT&T number to Visible. I thought I would get $200 GC, because the details write "Offer disclosure: New members who (1) purchase a qualifying device or bring their own,". However, after I talked with CS Rep, they told me,

"Okay, so you will qualify for a $100 gift card but not the $200. You would need to buy the phone from us to get the $200 one. I am going to send the case up and let them know you ported from att and do qualify for the $100." and
"

It does not specify an amount right there though. the ad that says $200 says up to $200 but not saying anyone that ports in will get that much. They can but there are exceptions like not buying the phone from us."

Think I'm naive...

BTW, when I tried to port in Visible, I selected AT&T but the App said Select a carrier in red. I SELECTED! After I select Others, the transfer finished. But I'm not sure if I'm OK with the promo GC. So I asked the CS Rep, and get the answer above...

Yeah =) BYOD is never more than $100. They cycle it to $50 sometimes so be happy with $100. Keep in mind its a net difference of $100 not $200 when doing your calculations when debating BYOD vs buying from Visible.

This is why I never got the Visible swap trade in deals that people voted up in the past. If they did BYOD they got $100. if they did tradein, they gave up a phone (albeit in most cases a crappy one) to get $100-$150 phone, that they would likely flip for $100 or so. With the swap, there was no rebate. BYOD was much better and easier IMO.

You are right on point. The SWAP deal is not profitable. You get a crappy device like ZTE Blade A7 Prime or A3 that has no resale value and also has limited use outside the Visible ecosystem. You are far better off with the BYOD deal.

People do not consider the $100 they are giving up when doing the deal. Thats why they erroneously think its slick

Some swaps were totally worth it like the ZTE Blade 10 I posted last year.

The moto E6 wasn't a great phone but for $25 it was definitely worth it for people looking to try the service for a month before commiting 2-3months or more

Once the stock for the A7 and A3 are depleted I'm sure we'll get some decent swaps

Guys is the next day shipping happening right now with 13 pro?
How many days is it taking for the phone (13 pro to be specific) to reach to your doorstep?
