Total cost... $984 + tax + $55 service for 3 months ($5 first month w/ referral + $25/mo second and third month); less $200 rebate and if you don't need the AirPods Pro, maybe you can get roughly $150 if lucky.

Around $780 w/ CA tax and selling AirPods pro (assuming $150).

I have had Visible for almost two years. I would not rely on it for home service and increased device ID has now been added that Visible can more easily determine what your SIM card is plugged into if you're using a jetpack rather than your device. This "upgrade" happened this month. Over all I can't find a better service for 25 bucks after tax per month.

That being said, the hotspot works fairly well but is capped at 5/mpbs and if you're using Android is capped at one linked device per phone. Happy to answer any questions to share a code if you need one.

I am currently using an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Wifi calling enabled. I work from coffee shops a lot and use my hotspot + Nord VPN and don't have issues. I stream Spotify and work away. I've been without service three times in the two years - once while in the Smoky Mountains, just south of Lexington KY and closer to the TN border and at a festival south of Indianapolis but overheard all cell towers were overloaded. Cheers!

In certain areas, Visible can be extremely de-prioritized. So much so that you may not get any service despite having full bars.

Also, for some people, it just stops working from time to time (lately it's been happening to me every day). There's no indication that anything is wrong - phone shows it getting a signal and all that, except you're not actually connected to the network, i.e. no incoming calls/texts/data. The fix is really simple (toggling airplane mode), but the big problem is that you won't know that there's no service until you try using the phone.

You'll have to try the service out to see if it you have, or can tolerate, those problems.
This is 100% correct. Visible actually works really well for me, IF I'm in the middle of nowhere with good signal. The minute I enter a crowded area it's unusable for anything besides iMessage.

Not the best deal after accounting for taxes and three months fee. Probably a 100 dollar discount for MSRP.
msrp is $1099. if you live close to DE it's no tax.

I believe that shipping is the only option with visible. So that's $984 + sales, which for me in Virginia is 6%, or $59. So right there im in at $1043. Visible 3 months is $55 not including all the relevant taxes, which is probably around $4/mo (which is what i pay on Google Fi). So that makes it $1110 out of pocket.

AirPods pro i think you'll be lucky to sell them for $120 heh. I'll say conservatively $100. So that's $1010.

And then there's the $200 gift card.

I suppose you could sell the iPhone for about $900-1000. You'll end up with a $100 or so cash loss plus $200 gc in hand.

So yeah, this is a $100 or so money maker... unless you keep the iPhone...

Usually I just buy my iphones from Apple direct. Carriers add a bunch of spam ware to phones so I tend to stay away from buying from them.

I think the better deal is the $800 trade-in rebate + up to $1000 cash back from Verizon. It's posted on this site.
Isn't the $1k back in bill credits over 24-30 mos?

Problem is having to wait for minimum 60 days, and the fact that the unlock requires manual customer service intervention.

Not sure why my ting sim isn't letting me choose a plan, I signed up for the account , entered an imei, entered the SIM card id and chose to get a new number but it keeps giving me an error that I didn't choose a plan. It never showed a plan to choose from. Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks!

You get to choose, best buy, some stores. You can also do a virtual visa gift card that works like a prepaid visa card.

Tax is included in Visible's service.

So the first month's charge of $5 would mean you pay exactly $5.00 no matter what your local tax rates are. And if you join a big party, you'd pay a total of $25.00/month for the subsequent months.

Quote from Stu-1795 :
Is it like I need to have a sim popped into the phone? I thought that it was not a requirement. I have another phone that I bought 20 days back and I haven't opened it yet. Just popped the sim into another phone. Will these days not count towards the 60 day unlock? I had a chat with Visible customer care but they had no way of checking anything other than saying that it will be unlocked once it hits 60 days since you purchased. Can you or someone clarify if you had similar experience?
I think it specifically says active on the phone. I've read on the reddit threads that those who had iphones but didn't have the sim in but paid for 60 days of service had to manually request an unlocko from their TOS. I have not had that experience because I've been with them for a few years and when I joined phones were sent unlocked before Verizon changed their stance due to "fraud".

It only requires manual intervention in nearly all circumstances if you've not used your SIM card in the same device you picked up from Visible. Check the reddit threads for more details. Did you have this experience with a specific phone with sim in use? I am not sure about e-sim.

I've never changed sim card. The 1st ticket replied after opened for 5 days, saying unlocked successfully, but obviously it's not. I opened another ticket today, will see how it goes.

Visible has no human CSR that you can talk to, so far the customer experience is really painful.
You just need to change the sim, I put in a new sim on day 62 and turned it on, 3 seconds and it is unlocked.

Thanks for the reply. So I have been trying to figure this out. Contacted Visible multiple times. After chatting with 5 agents, I realized there's no clarity on their end. Most of them have said that it doesn't matter if the Sim is in the new phone or not, If you have paid the 3 months, we will unlock it. But this one guy was like since you have used a different phone to activate, your new phone is locked and Visible will not unlock it, no matter what.
