A Visible # works fine for porting in. $5 for that after using a referral code found easily on Reddit. Google Reddit Visible referral.

I hope this is helpful for others to be well informed.

After activated, the 60-day unlock countdown begins and it should unlock automatically after 60 days pass. After the first month you do not have to pay for 2nd month if you do not want to keep their service. It will still unlock after 60 days.

The retail price for iPhone 14 is shown $399 and for iPhone 13 is shown $249. Not so bad either, without requiring to buy a plan. Does anyone know if the phone will be unlocked from the start? Am I missing something?

Quote from CyanWing2807 :
So you had passed 60 days, without moving the line to another phone, or moving the sim card if applicable into any other phone for even a second in your first 30 days of service and the phone did not auto unlock after the date you received when texting unlock to 611611? I ask because their posted unlock policy has not changed, which is 60 days from activation of a new line and not what you were told by rep. From past experience phone reps tends to just go with the most convenient explanation they can think of. Moving the active line or sim card into a new device even for a second can change the IMEI associated with the line and botch an auto unlock.
My understanding is that if you need to text unlock to 611611, you need to keep the plan active. This means the total cost for iPhone 13 will be $150+$55x2=$260.00

If we are doing this on the 61th day, it is likely the 3rd month will be charged with the auto pay. So the total will be $260+$55=$315.00. Did I miss anything?

The iPhone SE 4 mockups have a sim try slot so this may not be accurate for much longer
I doubt it will have physical SIM for any new iPhone release in USA.

Over and over, pay for the first 30 days, idle for 30 more, unlocked.

The terms-activated on Verizon network, if it ain't activated, meaning buying a plan, it won't unlock.

Thank you! I just read from some earlier post that the rule changed... Well, at least, we can enroll in the first 30 days, idle, and reactivate for one more month to unlock

I think you mis-understand. Pay the first month, no need to pay any more. Automatically unlocks after 60 days have passed. Texting unlock can be done without service, and is not necessary for the unlock. It's informational, to give you the date of unlock. You will have to text twice to receive the unlock date.

Noob question as a non-apple user:


Both the phones have the same processor and storage and both use the old lightning port. What's the advantage of paying the extra $160+tax for iphone 14 vs the 13?
Satelite Text Messaging, 6GB RAM, Better cameras, much improved WiFi chip and modem chip.

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.
Hey Visible man, what are you doing on the TW thread?

But it still needs to be activated for the unlock to happen right.

You said-"i have a locked phone with a paid plan." Does that mean you have an active phone number? Or you've never been able to activate it, but it came with a plan? Did you unlock your GV number? I know Lyca is difficult.
