My wife and I have had Visible for a year with no issues. We live in a rural area in AL and use our hotspot for internet. No speed problems at all. Plenty fast enough for our needs. We were previously with Verizon and paid $160 per month for the same service we now have with Visible for $60 total for both phones.

It’s my understanding in order to use it as WiFi you need a router that will accept a SIM card. You can buy that and get a cheap phone from Visible. After activating take the card out and put in the router. My printer works off my hotspot but haven’t tried my tv.

A few minutes later I received an email telling me that my ported number is ready to go NOW. Excellent! But, it didn't work. Resets and reboots didn't help. Chatted with support. They suggested reset and reboot. No dice. Then I'm told that porting a number takes 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime I have no phone service. Trying to be patient. Not off to a good start.

I believe they were relieved! I went back to Verizon and they had me up and running in about thirty minutes. The rep there refused to say anything bad about Visible but admitted quite a few customers came back in the same situation. If this helps at all, I have an iPhone XR. Good luck.

Michael Saves, after your review and other glowing reviews I attempted to get Visible wireless today. I started the process at 6pm EST, and now 12:13am EST, and they have my first month payment and i do not have a working phone. If anyone is going to Visible, do not do the eSIM. Not a good enough technology as Visible is using it. I have had used other online only carriers like Tello and MintMobile that I setup in minutes after payment. Maybe it's the phone or how they are using eSIM. All I know is that 6.25 hours of my aggravation is worth more than the low cost of $40/mo. ☹

Hot spot is capped at 5mbps. Even states on the site. I've ran the hotspot through an extender into my router for the home network. It'll barely stream 1080p. I was going to do that to get the new customer price on my ISP for 1 Gbps for 50.00. In order to do that, I'd have to have not had service within the past 30 days. Then I called them to cancel and they were able to give me the promotion. I would have been OK with one month's worth of suffering.

Thanks for your vid Michael. Yours is current. Since Big V. bought Tracfone, Visible should work on T. phones.? My present 1 year card with T. expires in June. Visible states my T. phones are not compatible. (Again, V. bought T.) The phones are- Moto E6 and LG Rebel 3. (3 is a refurb) So your video has been bookmarked when the time is to try Visible. A lot of RVers had discussed Visible as a 'net provider when it's service debuted.
@MichaelSaves
3 жыл бұрын
Yes some RVers use it for internet since the mobile hotspot is unlimited. And I use the mobile hotspot when traveling all the time. I'm not sure about Tracfone devices. You can use the compatibility checker on Visible's website. Sometimes it's unpredictable and a bit surprising to me why it will say some devices are not compatible.

I currently have MetroPCS and get just 1 bar of signal at my house. Do you think switching to Visible might change that?
@MichaelSaves
3 жыл бұрын
Possibly. MetroPCS uses T-Mobile's network. Go to this website (webcoveragemap.rootmetrics.com/en-US) and enter your ZIP code to see how the networks perform where you live. You may live in an area where a plan that uses Verizon or AT&T's network will be better. Visible uses Verizon's 4G and 5G networks, but no 3G roaming. That's mostly an issue in more rural areas.

I been using noncompatible phone on visible for over a year now and it still work great. Depending on the phone u might have to change the apn to get it working. Some phone just work without any adjustment. Some phone texting don't work but if u download the verizon messenger app on the google store then it would work. Just look up nonsupported phone on visible on utube there are some tutorial that people made about it. Just make sure your phone got band that support verizon network. I think that is what most important.

I just received my new phone from visible, after 12 hours of constant attempts to activate service then another 5 hours trying to figure out why phone won't download apps. All I can say is, 10am can't get here fast enough so I can reactivate my old phone with boost. What a total waste of time and money. So do I recommend visible,? My recommendation is to stay the f away from them, you'll save yourself the highest levels of frustration and reconnect fees back to your original device and then you'll be faced with a fight to recover visible fees and then there's the loss of revenue for losing phone and internet service.

Different products for different markets. Why does Apple not just sell it's most expensive phone for maximum profit? Because people who want a cheaper phone will go someplace else. It's not exactly the same as when you buy a company, it's often to buy their customer base and then try to up sell or convert them to use your flagship products. It might just be it was cheaper to buy the other company than to compete with them directly.
