Visible Mobile

Anyone using Visible Mobile. I believe they are owned by Verizon.
This seems to be the only carrier that still has truly unlimited data.

Don't have Visible but since it runs on VZ towers, the usage experience should be fine. I can't speak for support. Just make sure that Visible has good coverage in the areas you frequent. Since many MVNO's don't work on the entire network that the provider has for postpaid customers, make sure you check a coverage map for Visible service.

Thanks, didn't think check to see if coverage is the same as Verizon.
I hope so because Verizon is really good in this area.

Might of found a problem. Coverage is great by the map. But..
When I searched. Visible Mobile versus Verizon coverage map, I found out that Visible Mobile only has access to Verizon 4G towers but not their older 3G towers.
Don't know if this will be a problem or not.

Guess this doesn't really matter. Verizon is shutting down all 3g in December anyway.

Hi Walter,

Which phone do you have? Is it a 4G phone?

 

[walterg5]

Yes, Stylo 5 on Boost network. The problem is I live in a rural area. 4g coverage with Sprint network use to be great. Now, some days I lose 4g for 3 or 4 hours at a time. Then I have to switch to 3g.
That's why I'm worried about no 3g service. Hopefully Verizon network is still good in this area. Need to ask around.
To switch I will also have to buy another phone, so don't want to make a costly mistake.

Good luck. I'd suggest asking your neighbours, rather than relying on coverage maps on carrier websites.

Thanks, I will definitely do that.

I really want to try Visible. I wasn't thinking when I just dropped a chunk of change on the Z Flip 3 that it may not be compatible with Visible. I can't imagine it wouldn't be, new phone with 5G. What else would have to be compatible? I have to wait now because checking for compatibility means I need the IEME number and I won't have that until the phone is delivered.
