Visible announced their set of deals for the iPhone 13 line-up earlier and they now have a page that lists the phones (currently Just for information; September 24 is the date of availability).

- https://www.visible.com/applelaunch

Unfortunately, it looks like the deal is much worse than last year's Beats Studio and Airpods Pro offerings.

This year we get a HomePod Mini instead.

In addition, the infamous $200 Virtual Gift Card promotion for bringing your number will be the highlight.

For those who want to go with the 13 Mini or the regular 13 might be in luck; The wording of the deal so far indicates that you get $200 no matter which one you go for. In the last year, the gift card amount was tiered such that you got either $100, $150 or $200 depending on which one you bought. Naturally, 12 Mini buyers got the least amount.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Visible unlocking policy is 60 days. [visible.com] iPhone 13's are LOCKED.

You should know: Some of Verizon's Visible cell network customers say they've been hacked [theverge.com]

Just FYI Visible started locking their phones for 3 months. So the phone is LOCKED!
Port it to ting. Costs a dollar. Then port to visible.
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).

My 2 iPhone 13 Pros just automatically unlocked after 60/61 days (depends on whether the day it activates counting as Day 1 or not).

Nope, I'm 58 days within visible, and can't wait to get rid of it. Just wait for the gc come and I'll be gone. and my 13 PM still locked with them, if it's not automatically unlock after 60 days, I'll call them to rant.

Edit 1: after 59 days, my iPhone Pro Max automatically unlocked. I instantly load a T-Mobile eSim with no problem.

Edit 2: after 60 days, still didn't receive the $200 gc code, send a message on Chat, no respond for 30 min but later I login the redemption code shows up and perfectly redeemed.
I don't know if cs did something or it just unlock exactly 60 days.

Ok, I am 63 days in and just got my $200 gift card redemption code but my 13 Pro Max is still locked to Visible. Visible is my primary service so that's not a big problem but I'll still need to use foreign SIM when traveling

Sim was inside for about a week and after we travel to Europe and right after 60 days I change a sim and iphone was unlocked automatically )

Will keep Using Visible so just informing everyone looks like sim don't need to in the phone all the time )

Ok, a not big but not small either issue. Visible refused to unlock my 13 Pro Max on day 80 because I use the new phone on an old line and the new SIM on an old phone. They say phone will only be unlocked if I use the new SIM and phone together for 60 days. Still fighting them over this because my family have 4 lines with them and trying to limit what phone I can swap to what line is idiotic when I paid for the phone fully.

Not sure if anyone here can help but...
I canceled my Visible service 1 day after the 60th day of service (to fulfill unlocking requirement).
I successfully ported my number back to Mint. Upon activation, my sim was not accepted.
Visible is saying I canceled their service on the 60th day. So now my number is with Mint but phone is still locked to Visible. I have an open ticket and apparently they're working on a solution. Sucks that it's during the holidays so I'm not sure if they're even working.
Anyone have any idea how and how soon this will be resolved, so my phone will be unlocked to use in Mint?

From what I heard previously you need the visible sim to be inserted in the phone and connected to wifi or a data plan for the apple unlock request to be applied to the phone.
The process should be automated after you fulfill the 60 day requirement.

Right so I activated my plan on 10/23 and deactivated on 12/23 (60 days would have been 12/22) but it still didn't unlock

Did you have the visible sim in your phone after the 60 days? Apple would send the unlock command via the visible sim. If the sim isn't in the phone, they probably couldn't unlock it when it was sending out the command to the phone. From what've I've read online it randomly can happen anywhere from a few hours to days.

I took the sim out on the 61st day. They're saying I took it out on the 60th day. My number has already been ported to Mint. My mistake was not confirming with Visible the phone was unlocked before porting. I was too eager to get out of Visible. I essentially waited until I got the $200 gift card, paid for the 3rd month which I'm not using, and left. Hoping they can resolve tomorrow when everyone returns to work

I hope they resolve it. Btw, I'd still leave the visible sim in and see if it unlocks, as it should be an automated process. Maybe leave the sim in overnight when you're not expecting calls on your mint line, or if you have another unlocked phone to use the mint sim with and leave the visible sim in your locked iPhone until the unlock command is sent to it.

I put the Visible sim back in my phone a couple days ago, even though it's obsolete now. I signed up for another Visible line (esim, new number, $5 first month) just so I can have some data. The mint sim is currently not in use right now
