You have to bring your own number. This might be a deal breaker for me. I was needing a new number for my daughter.

Quote from monkeyking1333 :
Same question here. Does anyone know the answer?
No. Visible doesn't work that way. I oversee around 9 visible accounts so I learnt this the hard way. The SIM, even physical, is tied to the phone. To move service to another phone you have to install the visible app on the new phone and log in to the app to transfer. That's why eSIM is the easier route. Otherwise you need a new SIM card with each transfer.

Now you should be able to activate service on the 13 and then transfer it to your another phone. This "shouldn't" interfere with the 13 unlocking at 60 days. But I put that in quotes because I've never done it myself and we all know sometimes things just don't go like they should. Only "safe" way is to use the 13 for the first 60 days of the year long service plan. But you'd shouldn't have too according to the unlock policy as I understand it.

Re "includes Apple Watch cellular" : how - can I use my existing Apple watch (without buy a new one from Visible)?
I think you just need to pair it to the new phone. The Visible app may prompt you for that. I ended up having to reset my watch to pair it to the new phone. Of course you need a cellular watch to get cellular service, but it does indeed work as a phone (with the same number) even with the phone turned off.

Got my phone today, so much better service and walk through than Straight Talk... So heads up before switching phones download the Visible app, so when you transfer everything you put the sim in or esim and launch the app and it activates the phone...
Do you setup new phone and then download Visible app to transfer everything over?

Yes, setup the new phone without the cellular. Download the visible app and click on the activation blue button. Then you will get a pop up with few check boxes . At that time insert your new sim. It will be activated within a min.

I moved from Xfinity. You may face issues like enter new pin, that's because pin validity is 24 hrs only. Get the new pin and enter that in the app. That's it . All the best.

Even my understanding is same. I activated eSim on iPhone 13 received and transferred the sim to my another phone. I believe it should work. Since, I will be using the number, I will reach out to Visible customer care if phone does not unlock after 60 days.

I ported out from vis to tello and back to vis in about 12 hours . Phone shipped and arrived next day .
Not sure what I did wrong but I'm attempting to port out and I'm getting "We're still setting up your newly purchased line. Please try again later"

Just found out my issue. New account need 7 days of service to port out.

If we activate after 4 weeks, will chase offer still work as it expires in 4 days? The 395$ charge should post now, correct and is it tied to activation of line?

I did a chat with Visible. They said I had to keep the iPhone 13 active for 60 days before I can unlock it. I want to use my current phone too, but I don't want the iPhone 13 to stay locked to Visible. It looks like I will have to use it for 2 months so I can unlock it.
Interesting. Their policy doesn't specify that it must remain active for the entire 60 days. I guess I can't test it, because I am using the new phone and already sold my old one.

Visible's unlocking policy
Any smartphone purchased from Visible will be locked for 60 days from the date the device was activated on the Visible account associated with the purchased device. Once the 60 days are up, your device will be unlocked automatically.

The iphone 13's are selling for $300 - $350 on ebay. You will pay $45 in ebay fees and around $10 to ship. So you will be making $200 to $250 and taking the risk that someone won't scam you (I have sold on ebay for 20 years, if someone wants to cheat you, they can and there is absolutely nothing you can do).
I don't know why people are down voting you ...oh wait I do know why. Bc they're ignorance, or laziness, makes them **think** you are wrong.

OP, thanks and repped.
Got two - self and spouse. Needed to buy each separately using different email addresses to set up new Visible accounts. Called current cell provider first to get port out pins for transferring each existing cell number to new phones. Per advice of other posters, checked trade in value for our current Moto phones, and hoping to get a nice credit for one of them. Will donate the other.
Thanks for all the great comments on this deal!

Not sure if someone replied to this already but I was on the same boat. Want the phone and new number at same time so I tried porting a Google voice number for 3$ fee. You can Google steps as you go. Port successfully, new number is activated with visible now.
For porting out from google voice any pin needed?. My number is in google voice i need to port to visible to get this deal. Pls advise

Do you mean, I can't move physical sim coming from this phone to another phone and used it there?

Can anyone provide any insight as to the idea of keeping the service plan on another phone and selling the iPhone 13 after it becomes unlocked in 60 days? This seems like a tremendous deal if one goes that route
