Visible mobile 4+

I was held hostage to Verizon for 15 years and hated every minute of it except for the service. I travel with my husband for his work throughout the U.S. and the only way I had a reliable signal everywhere was with Verizon, but I paid dearly for it- over $3000 a year. I’ve hated them for years because they sneak charges for everything constantly and make your bill so confusing it’s just a miserable experience, not to mention if you buy anything from them on a payment plan, you can NEVER leave it seems like. When I heard about Visible, I was so excited- until I found out it’s owned by Verizon. I though yeah, another way to confuse people with a bill. But I read all the reviews, and yes there are always bad ones, but I wanted to get away from Verizon so badly I was willing to take the leap. O.MG. I love it! I got my SIM card, activated it, and joined a party off Reddit to get the $25 plan. I have at least 50 family and friends that said “After you have it for a month with no trouble, I’m joining.” Three weeks now, and loving it more every day! And for every person you refer who brings their own phone and switches, you get your service for $5! You can get phone service for $60 FOR A YEAR. It’s like the clock is turning backward. I LOVE YOU VISIBLE!!! I never want to leave.

I feel bad for these people who say they regret the change, have all sorts of problems, etc. I just ran my IMEI by the chat rep, said it was good. A couple hours later working as good as it had the previous 15+yrs on Verizon. Rarely buffers video, same for internet radio. Oh yeah, there was one big issue...i was no longer paying almost $300 For 4 phone lines!! And if you are real tech haterz, not a big phone person then you may want to consider sticking with the big Brother 'V'. Their customer service was much easier to digest. Visible is only chat and that can be annoying for some. But when i go to the $.99 store i don't expect my groceries to be walked to my car, or to find 3 aisles of imported cheeses. Same goes with cell service. **INSIDER TIP** Occasionally i've noticed it will get a little sluggish. I forget what the name of the process is but i had a tech friend run me through it: 1:With phone on, remove sim. 2:Shut down phone for about a min or two then restart with no sim
.3. Shut down and put sim back in tray while phone is OFF. 4: Start phone , sim card in, back to normal. It does some sort of reassignment of it's waa woo hoodoo voodoo. Whatever it does it always seems to speed up my connection after i follow that. The other sure fire way is to let your service lapse for a bit. Few hours is fine. Good luck. And thanks Visible or verizon or whoever...i smile when i pay $25 month instead of crying at $300!

I’m writing this review after one day of service with Visible - I will update if I have any issues in the coming months - before I signed up with Visible, I spent days and days reading reviews and discussions on almost any website possible. It seemed it was hit or miss so I decided just to try it. As of today, I am very glad I did. I seen multiple people saying they had activation issues, number porting issues, customer service issues, etc. I have not experienced any of these problems. I literally received my SIM card next day and after restarting my phone, I couldn’t tell a difference between being on Verizon or Visible. My first day I was traveling around 1-2hours away from home and did multiple Speedtest. My data speeds didn’t change from using Verizon. WiFi calling works great too. Overall reception is identical to what I had with Verizon. I’ve made numerous calls, text throughout the day with no trouble. Two family members of mine also switched at the same time, with no issues what so ever. Mobile hotspot also works great.

I hope my review helps someone - if you are wanting to try this service, give it a shot. You can cancel at anytime.

**I will be monitoring my service and data speeds regularly and if anything changes I will update my review and likely will simply open my account back with Verizon - until then, I will enjoy my phone bill**
