If you've ever wanted Verizon service without the monthly financial burden that comes with the privilege, a Visible phone plan is what you're looking for. Visible has some of the best monthly rates in the industry. As a Verizon-owned wireless provider, it runs on the same 5G cellular network, albeit with modest data restrictions.
Visible's new ongoing discount knocks $10 off the Visible Plus plan, bringing it down to $35 a month with promo code 35PLUS. Rather than carrying on for a limited time period, the rate continues until the new user cancels the service. This deal is only eligible for new members and ends on March 24.
Not sure which Visible plan to go with? Visible and Visible Plus are your only two options, and both offer unlimited talk, text, data, and mobile hotspot usage. Visible Plus stands out by offering extra savings on Verizon services, faster hotspot speeds, and more.
Best deals on Visible phone plans
New customers can score $10 off Visible Plus, forever (or until Visible decides to discontinue the offer). By applying the promo code 35PLUS at checkout, the premium plan is only $35 a month — and the rate continues until you decide to cancel. Though the fine print covers Visible in case it decides to discontinue the promo rate, that means newcomers can get $10 off every month with no deadline in sight.
If you're looking for a large amount of high-speed monthly data at a reasonable price, the Visible Plus plan from Visible Wireless stands alone among budget carriers in offering up to 50GB of guaranteed premium data for $45/month (or $395/year). A limited-time discount brings the monthly rate to $35/month.
The promotion will be available until March 24. Newcomers have until then to sign up to lock in the discounted pricing.
New members can also save money by signing up for an annual plan. If you're ready to commit to a full year of service, paying for 12 months upfront knocks up to $145 off.
Visible now offers an annual plan. It saves you $25 compared to paying monthly, and still gives you the same great unlimited data, talk, and text on Verizon's network.
Signing up for Visible+ is more affordable than ever when you opt for an annual plan. It saves you $145 compared to paying monthly and offers everything of Visible's base plans, plus smartwatch service, mobile hotspot functionality, and more.
Right now, if you purchase your phone with Affirm financing and pay at least 50% off, Visible is offering to pay the remaining 50% when you upgrade to the next model. You can also use trade-in and phone swap offers to buy a new phone without paying full cost.
Visible mobile FAQs
Does Visible have a free trial?
Visible offers a free 15-day trial to anyone with a compatible and unlocked smartphone. All you have to do is connect to Wifi and download the Visible app. Once there, you can follow the given steps to get a trial phone number with which you can use Visible's unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot usage for 15 days.
You do not need to cancel your current carrier's service to sign up for Visible's free trial. In fact, Visible recommends keeping your service to compare against their own during your free trial.
Visible vs. Visible Plus: What's the difference?
The most significant difference between Visible and Visible Plus is that the latter offers access to Verizon's fastest 5G Ultra Wideband (UW) network, which has faster speeds and better reliability in congested areas. Those benefits only come into play if you can even access it. 5G UW is only available in select markets and requires specific phones. You'll also get broader international calling and texting options, and the "Premium Network Experience" guarantees you full speeds up to 50GB, even during peak traffic hours.
No matter which you pick, both plans offer unlimited everything. That includes talk, text, data, and even mobile hotspot, a rare concoction for MVNO cell phone service.
How good is Visible phone service?
Our Visible Wireless review found that it offers great overall value for money. The cellular network is top-notch, owing to its piggybacking on Verizon's extensive nationwide 5G network. We like the low monthly prices and the ability to get unlimited data no matter which plan you're on.
The slow network speeds after exceeding thresholds and experiencing network congestion are annoying, but that's a standard practice most MVNOs use to keep costs down. We also thought Visible's customer support could be better (you only get direct help using its online chat) and would have appreciated even a small discount for having multiple lines.
Is Visible owned by Verizon?
Verizon does own Visible. Unlike T-Mobile's purchases of Metro and Mint Mobile and AT&T's purchase of Cricket Wireless, Verizon built Visible from the ground up. The MVNO launched in 2018 and operates independently under Verizon's supervision.
