After having visible for 1
year here is my review of it. Stick around to the end of the video and
I'll tell you what the worst thing is about visible and also what's the
best thing I like about visible. First thing you got to understand about visible is
that it's owned by verizon. So verizon, t-mobile, AT&T those are all "post-paid" services where
you go through the whole month and then your bill is due at the end of the month. All
those companies own "prepaid" services where you pay and then you use the
service for the rest of the month. Visible is verizon's prepaid service. So there's
about 9 things I'll cover about visible and that brings us to the first thing... With visible it
uses the exact same coverage as verizon, it works on the same network as verizon. Personally I've
never had an issue where I've had a dropped call or really slow coverage. I will say visible's
service and coverage... I have no complaints about that. I do live in a big city though, so
pretty much any phone service is going to have good coverage. But the times that I've traveled
into more rural areas the services might be a little slow but I feel like it's not any slower
than a regular verizon service would be. Second thing is going to be the price for visible. So
this is going to be another positive that I like. $40 a month if you just have a single line,
visible only offers one plan and it's unlimited talk, text, data and mobile hotspot. With other
prepaid services most of them don't give you a hotspot. They may give you unlimited data but they
don't give you unlimited hotspot data as well. Visible does for a great price. So there's a
couple companies that may be slightly cheaper than $40 but they don't offer as much as visible offers
and the $40 a month includes all taxes and fees! They don't charge you a dime over $40. Whereas
verizon they'll advertise $65 or $75 a month but on average there's 15% taxes and fees on top
of the advertised price. With visible you don't get that. So the price is awesome for what you
get and the reason the price is so low is because; 1) they get guaranteed money because it's a
prepaid service. 2) The other reason is because they don't have to pay for things like storefronts
and store employees. There are no visible stores, it's all online and the customer service is ran
online and they also don't have to build and buy new cell towers. They're just using verizon's
coverage. Which brings me to the third thing: Customer Service. This one I'm going to give a
thumbs down to because it's not bad and I have visible and I still have visible...I like
it but... if you're really someone who is horrible with phones and a phone always messes
up for you the only way to get in contact with visible is through an online chat or through email
and it could take some time. Whereas just going to a store and calling someone, that face-to-face
interaction is a little more peaceful a little more nice to know that you can at least do that.
To be honest though when I had verizon I don't think I ever went to an actual store when I had an
issue so again you kind of get what you pay for. Me, I could go without pristine customer service
but I could see how with visible it could be a decent issue for about a day until your phone
is fully back up to get in contact with the right people. Fourth thing I'll say about visible is the
hotspot. So the mobile hotspot data I get a lot of questions about. This is kind of a thumbs up and
a thumbs down for me, it's kind of somewhere in the middle. 1) The fact that it even gives you
a hotspot I think is personally amazing. 2) The other thing though about the hotspot is there are
limitations to it so you can only have one device tethered to the hotspot at a time. So you can't
have multiple laptops going and your tv streaming. It has to be one device, one other phone, or
one other laptop. The other thing is what they do for (not their unlimited data but) their
unlimited mobile hotspot data is they will cap the speeds around 5mbps. Personally the reason
why this is not a thumbs down for me is because 1) the fact they're giving you hotspot. But 2)
I've never had an issue with using the hotspot. I use it generally when I'm traveling and I'll
plug in my laptop to it or I'm at someone's house and I just don't want to ask them for the wi-fi
password I'll quickly do something on my computer. I've been able to do youtube stuff, edit videos,
I've been able to check my email, do all sorts of the necessary day-to-day things on the hotspot
without any problems. If you're going to rely on the hotspot as your home wi-fi service to stream
stuff off of or play games on or something that you need a lot of speed for I would not recommend
just solely relying on the hotspot. I have internet.. I have regular wi-fi in my house
for doing things like that. So compatibility of your phone... they sell a ton of phones on
visible. Pretty much every name brand phone; samsung, iphones, etc.. they're all going to be
compatible. I've had no issues with this unless you have a really really old phone your phone is
probably going to be compatible. You can check on the visible website before you sign up for the
service. As far as keeping your own phone number, yes you can keep your own phone number, nothing
changes. So once you sign up they'll next day ship you a visible sim card and you just pop
out whatever sim card you have (Es: verizon, AT&T) in your current phone > Put in the visible
sim card > Turn on your phone > And all your apps, all your text messages, all your contacts, will
still be there. You'll still have the same number like nothing ever happened. Promotions! So this is
a cool thing that I like about visible. It kind of adds to the price of it as well is they're always
offering promotions. When I first signed up and I think if you sign up right now your first month is
only $25 so you get $15 off right off the bat and usually they'll give you a $100 prepaid visa gift
card if you sign up now so it's almost like your first 3 months are completely free with visible!
Or sometimes even $150 to $200 gift card just for buying a phone through them. Point number 8 I'll
make about visible and this is also going to be the worst thing about visible... is going to be
the speed of the service. So I will say this, I have never noticed a difference in the speed
and I used to have verizon. Verizon to visible, I don't notice any difference, however, I have
looked at other youtubers who are a lot more technologically savvy and they've done speed
tests on visible vs verizon or visible vs AT&T. And visible always comes in about half as fast.
To the average person I highly doubt you'll notice any issues with the speed. I use my phone
for email, social media, I upload videos, I edit videos on my phone sometimes, I stream
youtube, I watch all sorts of stuff on my phone and I've never had an issue with the speed.
But if you are going to use your phone for... I don't know something a lot more advanced than
that then you may notice an issue with speed or if you're someone who's really technologically
savvy then you may notice it takes a half a second more to download something. Final point
about visible and the best thing is going to be the party pay! So the party pay is awesome, it's
like their version of the family pay or the family plan except it's even better. Instead of $40 a
month- if you have up to 4 lines everyone will only pay $25 each for unlimited everything: talk
text, data and hotspot for $25 a month! There's no way you're going to ever beat that price on any
other service and the great thing about the party pay is everyone has their own individual plan.
They're responsible for it, so it's not like if your buddy doesn't pay the bill you're going to be
affected at all. Matter of fact you don't even see who else is on your party pay other than just
their first name, no last name and the last four digits of their phone numbers. And you guys
can all just pay $25 a month. If someone drops off the plan, you can add someone on there, it's
really smooth and everyone's responsible for their own plan and the price is just ridiculous. So we
can all save money and all get this awesome $25 deal I'll put my party pay link in the description
down below. Most of the time it's full. If it is somebody else comment down below in the
comment section whatever your party pay link is and we'll either click it there or I'll put
yours in my description. So in conclusion after having visible for 1 year I do highly recommend
it. It's the service I'm gonna continue with. I've been really happy the price is unbeatable,
the only complaints I've seen is the speed is a little slow like I said I've never noticed
it but you might. Maybe it's not right for you but generally speaking for everyone I think it's
great plan for you to join. I am not getting paid by visible at all! There's no sponsorships,
there's no referral programs, nothing like that, this is just my genuine opinion about it. Thanks
