Is it due to original post missing any details , or something else ?
It seems to be a decent deal - 250 off.
The $25 per month for the line is reasonable, and should not be adding extra, unless you get a new line and port-in just for the deal. By the time the conditions are met, the phone will be unlocked.
The option to get a gift card for retailers like Amazon, BestBuy, Target seem very practical.
I've previously purchased iPhone during deals from Visible, and didn't have any issue getting the gift cards and speakers, which were part of the promotion then. And the phone unlocked as per policy.
You can always get a burner # and cancel after 3 month
Gift cards are not combinable with the SAVE24 service offer.
- They might lose your phone number on port-in.
- You might be without service for a week.
- They're known to not pay out bonuses or gift card incentives.
- If you ever need to contact support, good luck! There's no phone number and support is exclusively through chat. They might respond in a few minutes or a few days. A different person might reply to you every time. If you ever need to be elevated to level 2 support, they'll send you one email from a no-reply email, and you'll have to start over with chat explaining your case from the start for each iteration.
- Service will probably be fine but you may be in the minority of people that have issues.
Here's some comments from your fellow Slickdealers:I decided to port my landline (actually VoIP) number to Visible. This is a little bit more complicated than mobile to mobile, so the carrier has to do it right. Ooma released the number right away and it was transferred to Verizon, but Visible didn't provision it in their system.
Their customer support is insane, as it has no provision for maintaining progress on a ticket. Every chat in must start from the beginning. I engaged with them 17 times over three weeks and every call was the same. Half an hour to arrive at the same place as before, only to be told they guarantee it would be done in the next 24 hours. They blamed Ooma, of course, but I pointed out that when you called the number, it announced that it was on Verizon's network. I said "just call it!". They said they had no facilities for placing a phone call. Every chat was torturing with most of waiting for them to type was to have a bot say "We are very sorry you are having this problem," .. wait 5 minutes ... "I will do the needful to get it resolved", ... wait 5 minutes .. "Your satisfaction is our priority", etc.
My music apps wouldn't buffer on the subway, meaning it would stop playing between every stop as well.
worst of all, it's nearly impossible to get a customer service rep. when i'd finally had enough and switched to t mobile (family was similarly fed up and we all moved) i kept getting the run around with their chatbot. there is NO customer service phone number, meaning if anything happens, you're completely out of luck. I spent hours upon hours trying to complete the switch because the bot was totally unhelpful.
beware, "same towers" may be true, but same internet speed and same service are definitely not.
How bad would it be if you lost your phone number or didn't have service for a week? Would it bother you to spend 10 hours resolving an issue? I'd weigh that against whatever money you're saving on this plan.
I always buy my iPhones direct from Apple store unlocked and don't bother with carrier games. But that's just me.

buy gift card from target u will save more
I also did Affirm financing..
So my deal for an iPhone 16 Pro 256GB is:
$30.53/month x 36 months
+$200 Visa Gift Card
+$100 Credit back
$25/month plan for 3 months
I currently am coming from TMobile $55/month plan and this sets me up for no contract and I can move to another carrier at anytime after 3 months and take my phone with me AND not have to pay for the phone completely up front (Affirm allows me to continue to make payments without the penalty of moving carriers)
Not having a phone to trade in kind of sucked but $100 for a old iPhone 5 that is worthless aint too bad.
Next best was Xfinity which is offering additional monies off for some older phones like iPhone XR or iPhone 7 plus I had lying around also ($525 spread out over 24 months) but I was locked in with them for 24 months or I dont get the full bill credits and also if I move I have to pay off the phone completely at that time.
They also had $45/month cost so not so good.
Going to ride it out a little with Visible till next promo round..
