Second time, just a month ago, had numerous issues with missed texts, like I wouldn't get a text for days, but when I restarted my phone they all came in at the same time. Visible only got 2 chances with me. I switched to Mint, and have ZERO complaints with them.

So you could always try a 3 month plan to see what works for you and then lock it in for a year. As a back up, you can buy a separate phone number on visible for the unlimited data - the months you need it. I think I will go that route this time.

You can have a phone that receives only two frequency bands that Visible is using and the phone will work but how good depends on how close you are to that tower. The best thing to do is get you a phone that receives all of the band frequencies that Visible is using. Some the outer Verizon phones only got those frequencies for 4G and 3G. You need to throw those phones in the garbage can. iPhones 10 up works good most Motorola phones work not all of them. There's a few Samsung phones. People have had problems with Google. Pixel 6 works great with visible. I used to know which band frequencies that Visible is using but I no longer have that information and I don't feel like looking it up. But if you are thinking about buying you a phone to use on Visible, you can buy one from Best buy unlock, but you need to make sure that it is capable of receiving all of the band frequencies that Visible uses not just one or two.

I've been testing the US Mobile $50 plan Vs. Visible+ (new $45 Plan) in Seattle and I'm getting mixed results. I get similar speeds and priority on both plans when I'm in range of band NR77 Ultra Wideband but when I'm outside that coverage area, the US Mobile appears to be deprioritized on Nationwide 5G & LTE while Visible+ maintains priority data on these bands. I also notice that on my Galaxy S21, the US Mobile SIM blocks access to the engineering screen (*#0011#), removing my ability to view what band the phone has selected. This further raises my suspicion that LTE service on US Mobile does not get premium data. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you use Visible in a heavily Verizon customer populated area, you might get dropped calls more. I live in a rural county with most people using Verizon. I constantly had my calls dropped and data was sooo slow. I left Visible and tried them a year later with the same results. I use Metro, $40 tax included with unlimited premium data. I even have home internet with them.
@thetechdudemc
Жыл бұрын
While Visible's new plans use the same network core as Verizon for data and internet, it does not use the same voice core for calls. This is also why Visible's voicemail system and error recordings are different than Verizon's, and your calls on Visible are a lower priority on the network than calls of other Verizon customers which means a higher chance of dropped and failed calls

US Mobile will have faster upload speeds, but you’ll be limited to only 50GB of hotspot data. That’s plenty for most people, but I’m unsure how much you will need for your use case.
