I might be tempted if I didn’t work in the middle of the cornfields. Evidently the “Can you hear me now?” guy never made it into the corn.

Does Visible owner Verizon have coverage there?

Also I forgot to mention they are e-sim compatible. I signed my daughter up and ported her number over in about 5 minutes earlier today. No physical sim card needed on the newer phones.

I'll be curious to see if Verizon mashes Visible together with Tracfone at some point down the road.

it will be interesting to see if verizon starts closing down stores and going all self serve.. i have no issues with that as long as i can call into support. unlike visible where it's chat only. i am also willing to bet that visible don't offer off network roaming for the travlers!!!

I expect Verizon will be offering incentives to convert some Tracfone subscribers from pre to post paid customers, and the stores could be an integral part of that effort. Visible has been Verizon towers only from the start, and I expect it will remain that way. That hasn't caused us any issues that I'm aware of.

My settings say "Data roaming on" in 2 separate places, but I've not seen it in roam yet-

The people with Verizon are always grousing about horrible battery life since the radio needs to run at high power to maintain contact with the towers. We’re almost 8 miles from one tower and 10 from another.

We were looking at getting a professional cellular repeater installed that would support AT&T and T-Mobile (GSM). But the old Corporate mobile company was T-Mobile, so it’s up in the air who the new Corporate choice will be. Plus, 5G wasn’t a thing the last time we did the study.

Camped for a week, visible worked fine off & onin a place where ATT has no service... Brother & Nephew with Verizon had same results.

Does anyone here have Visible as their primary cell phone provider? I've read a lot from people who use it for hotspot in their RV travels etc. Just wondering if it's reliable for voice and text, not so worried about data. Thanks.

Service is reliable in my experience although I had it installed as a secondary service on my iPhone. Customer service is terrible. Was unable to transfer the service to my new iPhone today. The latest iPhone did away with physical SIMs. Transferring the service via eSIM while sorta documented simply doesn’t work for most from my online searches. No response from my attempts at chat. Alternative methods are Twitter and Facebook. Nope. Canceled my account and signed up instead for Mint to try out instead.

It must be a Verizon thing since Apple tried to make it easy to transfer your old iPhone celluar account to an iPhone 14 eSIM:

My primary AT&T account transferred effortlessly. I had previously moved the physical SIM to an eSIM on my previous phone. It was a Visible thing for sure. Not sure about a Verizon account.

Yesterday, when I signed up for the visible trail period, it took forever to activate the esim on my iPhone. I had to restart the app a half dozen times as it would freeze up. Finally got it done.

I've been playing with visible quite a bit since then. At times, speeds are excellent to good, about half of what my Verizon sim delivers. At other times, visible speeds are unusable.

For example, at 6:20 am, I could not access any online app, speedtest showed about .10 Mbps. Five minutes later, I got speedtest of about 5 Mbps and data was very usable. Ten minutes pass, and I recorded 50+ Mbps.

So, according to every source I've found, voice is prioritized over data by every carrier and MVNO. How about text? Does text use data and subject to deprioritized data speeds? I don't use iMessage, which I understand does use data but only between Apple products.

Bottom line, I don't use much data on my phone. So, I can live without reliable data, but I need reliable voice and text. The new visible plan is $30, or just $25 on PayPal. I can add my watch for $5. All prices include taxes and fees. It's very tempting.

Thanks for feedback.

On Edit: Maybe I should not consider this as my primary provider. Visible is rated "Bad" with 1.4 / 5 on Trustpilot

No problems for us and we've been on for over a year...

Never had an issue using e-sim with Visible. My daughter has been using the service for almost a year, and I'm planning on jumping to the new $45 plan in a couple of months.
