Stetson, #MintMobile does NOT have good customer service, it's horrible, overseas call centers, lack of training/knowledge ....etc .....my mom and another family member had to leave after awhile....that's the hardcore Truth.....
So no more $5 a month friend referral? How much will the bill now be if you have built up referrals on your account?
port your number. You will never get it back from Visible....😏
Is it available 10 day-trial with yor code "Stetson" for $20 in UsMobile? I'm still in Mint but will port to UsMobile in a week.
Do not use Mint bad service. Go with Hello ..... Again, do not use Mint bad service
You’ve saved me a lot of money. I’ve ported around my number many times in the last year. You go into so much detail and clarify things for me. I highly appreciate it man.
What plans worked out best for you?
@@javviii so. Cricket wireless Had good coverage. But deprioritized. Not very often though. But visible has been the fastest. Their $45 plan. Taxes included. I only get late in my area. But tips out around 123 mbps. Which has been faster than cricket or mint for me. Visible has horrible customer service when you do need them. And they’re not highly educated on what’s what in my past 1.5 hour chat wait times.
Cricket has been the best overall. AT&T towers.
Visible has the fastest most reliable in the 45$ plan. Verizon towers.
Mint is very close to cricket in terms of reception and reliability. But closer to visible in terms of customer service ques. T-Mobile towers
I also use Tello for a back up number. It’s anywhere from $8-29$ for their plan line. Also T-Mobile and 5g. I have yet to access 5g with them. But low to moderate speed lte.
@@kolbyjackson293 Do you port your number or does the company you are switching to do that?
@@bane3991 depends on which company. Coming and going from visible. They have an option in the app. Then they email or text you the port out pin. But porting into most prepaid companies. They do the work once you give them port out account # and pin.
I had no issues upgrading to the new $30 Visible plan. I switched from Sprint/T-Mobile 2 years ago and the service is roughly the same as far as coverage and performance. I save $120/month compared to the big guys 😎
I love visible+. I had boost mobile, but they took the cell tower down so I had to switch to something. I'm glad I picked visible. Cheaper and faster than boost ever was. Plus having unlimited hotspot is a bonus.
@Jojo do it, or move to mint mobile
I've used visible for a couple of years now. I spend about 50% of my time working remotely from an off-grid cabin in the woods with my only form of internet access being my visible hotspot. I use about 30 - 60 gigs per month. Zero complaints. Hard to believe I'm only paying $25.
Thank you for making this video, Stetson! Your videos are what prompted me to get Visible in the first place, and I even joined your visible party. I upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro max today and couldn't figure out why I didn't have data. After an hour of waiting in the queue, it turns out it's because the old unlimited plan and party pay aren't available on new devices. I had no clue that there were new plans that came out, so I came to your channel to see if I could get some info on the new plans and you did not disappoint! Thank you so much for all of your great videos and plan comparisons!
Best visible review on TH-cam. Thank you for explaining everything so clearly
This is the best video I've seen on Visible -- thank you for the detailed analysis!
maybe a Speedtest between mono's next in multiple locations? i.e mint mobile, visible, us mobile,etc...
Great video btw
Switched over to Visible+ from the legacy plan for the priority.
Also have you thought about doing a refresh of your cheapest plans videos from 2 years ago? I'm actually looking to turn a spare phone into an emergency phone with it's own number and would like to see current low data plans.
I just started using Visible and seems like a good service, did have some hiccups with activation but it was partly my fault. The service and coverage seem to be a lot more stable here in NYC compared to Mint.
Our family has been on the legacy Visible Unlimited plan for the past 2-3 years. No complaints or problems. In early Feb of 2023 I switched to the new Visible plan. The transition went smoothly and took perhaps 15 minutes. I can’t say that I have noticed a dramatic change from the old plan but I continue to have no complaints.
Do you still pay 25$ a month?
@@michaelsamaan3908 Yes. The $25 monthly charge did not change. Apparently you would lose the $5 discount if you upgrade to the $45/month plan.
@@charlesj.6563 thanks a lot! Because i got an email that says that I’m qualified for 5$ discount but when i asked the customer support they said no more discounts!!
@@michaelsamaan3908 To clarify, I was in a Party Pay group and my cost in that group was $25/month. If a person was in a party and receiving that discount, you will pay $25 in the new plan. If you were not in a party and you were not paying $25/month for the legacy plan, you will pay either $30 or $45 depending on which new plan you select.
@@charlesj.6563 thanks a lot!
I had Visible earlier in the year and had horrible ping. Switched to US Mobile for a while but wanted to try the new Visible plan. I'm very happy with it so far and Apple Watch is a huge plus for me as well. Porting to Visible was a nightmare both times.
Same here
@@chinolajuice First time I tried I lost my phone number of 8 years. It a real pain to tell everyone your new number.
@@rockvilleraven I recently switched to the us mobile unlimited premium and it’s been amazing , customer service actually responds .
Unlike visible mobile , it took me 8 days to finally reach a representative through twitter. Horrible!
@@chinolajuice I ported my number to US Mobile at 6am, got great support on the phone and it only took an hour.
@@rockvilleraven how’d you lose it?
Great review. thanks for being so thorough.
One of the big disadvantage of USM is the hard 100 GB limit. Say you make a mistake and sync 100 GB of photos, video and streaming. Your service becomes unusable. Could be a disaster if you are traveling. Makes one monitor usage.
Great video comparing all of the top mobile carriers!
Another excellent job explaining the new Visible plans and features. Keep up the great work! I currently have the old Visible plan running on my new Pixel 6a with e-sim for all data usage and kept my original phone number with Xfinity Mobile in the physical sim slot on the same phone. I use it for all calls and texting. Been working great.
Sounds like a great combination, Robert!
Haha, nice. I was doing the same thing on my pixel 6a. 👏
I started off with $30 visible, but found depriotization too frustrating in my area so I upgraded to visible plus. The process was a little glitchy like in the video, but worked fine after turning airplane mode on and off a couple times.
I decided to check out t-mobile in my area, so now I'm on their 3 month trial right now.
@@huangnator If you are over 55 years old, try the TMobile Magenta 55plus plan, I would stayed with it, except the reception in my office wasn’t that good
Amazing so informative !! Thanks for all the hard work
Thank you! Thats everything I needed to know
Upgraded to Visible+ for 2 months and I can say there's no noticeable performance difference as far as speed and streaming.
I'm thinking of switching to visible. Is video decent on the basic plan?
@@daakrolb I've been on it 2 to 3 years. I ran a TH-cam channel with it. It was way better than 55 month Verizon tower straight talk. I moved from at the time. Way faster. Anyway it is area dependent. If you have towers near you and not many on Verizon you will have the fastest speeds.
Just got visible like a couple days ago, had 0 problems getting e sim im in the 15 day free trial and the it’s been great so far
Thanks, think I'll check with customer service and maybe wait a little longer b4 upgrading from the party pay, Very helpful info... thanks again!
Can you make a video on the deals provided by the carriers for the new iPhone 14?
To be honest I had issues with making calls and sending messages through standard text, because I had an initially thought that by inserting my new SIM card that there wouldn't be any hiccups, but turns out I had to reactivate my service
I just signed up in early November and had a hard time getting activated. The bad was waiting for hours on the support chat. Not too bad as I could keep working while in line. The good was that the agent was able to fix the activation in about 10 minutes. Since then it has been great.
Video I was waiting.. 🔥🔥 just worried about the esim activation…
Stetson could you do a review of the cricket more plan?
Great job of making the complicated simple
Thank you Stetson great video and good advice
US mobile has the same issues too, they shun you if you do have issues and there are lot of stans/employees downvoting their issues
I knew my guy got me! Thanks boo
Looks like the new plans have some domestic roaming in the rocky mt areas, but not all that post paid does. My post paid roams on both att and usc in trout lake Washington, new visible still a paperweight
Can you make an updated comparison of visible vs us mobile ? sice us mobile updated their plans
I just got back from a Alaska cruise that left Vancouver BC. Mint was working after I spent $25 in international funds. I went through that $25 in about 5 hours with little use. No streaming! The visible phone was useless.
When we arrived in Alaska, the visible phone worked here and there. The Mint phone was out of service every place I tried. I'll be leaving Mint at the end of this 3 month period. Either visible+ or US Mobile.
I'm glad I watched this. The 0.5 GB of high speed data in Canada is a deal breaker for me
I think the Visible Plus would work for us while camping, so 4-5 months of the year. We have Spectrum that uses also Verizon and the coverage is good. But would like to use it in addition to Spectrum only as a hotspot with a cellular router, the problem is to make sure the router and Visible SIM card are compatible.
You going to make a video on where to buy the iphone 14?
Thanks for the info homie
when are you making a video on the Visible esim disaster?
I'm fine with the old Legacy Party Pay Plan. Glad their CCO came out and said we can keep the old plan if I wanted to.
When will u do a review on the new us mobile plan and if it’s still wort it
Wish it included international roaming to the 30 countries you can call / text to
I was going to switch to Visible from Verizon and now from your video I think I will switch to mint.I am hoping I get good coverage in Florida.i have been wanting to switch but unsure about which would have better coverage without the big price. Thanks for the great learning video
If you use your data allotment on mint you're screwed. It was like $10 for an extra gb last year
I just got visible and I have no issues with the porting over and activating was smooth .. I just re started my phone smooth sailing
I've noticed my ping has been fluctuating. Sometimes it'll be at 110-150 like it was before, but if I reboot my phone it'll periodically drop down to 50-65 for a day, then jump back. Have you noticed these fluctuations? I'm also curious how I can request or upgrade to a 5g sim like you mentioned. I currently use a pixel 4a 4g phone and when I go into the visible app and explore plans, it's saying your phone is not compatible with our new network, but all is not lost..??
Why with the Visible service on the iPhone’s it doesn’t show the UW next to the 5G icon while on ultra wide band ? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Do you know if they accept the ACP? Thanks in advance.
any news on USM supporting smartwatch plan?
I live in Kentucky and tested the visible new plan in those extended network areas the speeds are the same on Verizon postpaid and Visible and on the regional carrier on LTE and there almost the same speeds. Speeds averaged between 10 to 50 Mb.
Same here unless there was congestion
Thank you for sharing! That is great to hear!
I use the Visible as a hotspot to upload large files to TH-cam when I’m traveling.
But upload speeds are always abysmal.
Is there any provider that is substantially better with upload hotspots?? Thanks!!
US Mobile will have faster upload speeds, but you’ll be limited to only 50GB of hotspot data. That’s plenty for most people, but I’m unsure how much you will need for your use case.
The one thing that is not clear yet with visible is that the domestic roaming I live in an area where where I can drive 5 mi and be on there roaming towers?
And when I have visible before I had no coverage and that was bad for me
I was still with Verizon post paid and I got visible e sim and was going to try it again. So I set it up online and within 30 minutes I had my account activated and working with no major issues at all I then went and drove through those areas that I would be roaming and I still had full coverage I am on the visible plus plan though They did concern me about the statement about that. 2G but I am on roaming towers in some areas and I still get full LTE spades so that's just for you guys to know my experience
Where’s the phone plan reviews at?? Haven’t seen one since xfinity mobile.
Switched from ATT to Visible today! Porting my number was no problem at all and took less than 10 minutes to complete!
How do you port a number? Do you do it or does the carrier you switch over to do it?
Are you happy with the switch? I’m currently in AT&T prepaid and considering Visible.
I'm so grandfathered into my Verizon plan, I'll never change. I don't think any plancan meet my current plan
I just recently switched have had no issues so far..
I just ported my number to Visible for AT&T post-paid. It was not smooth at all. I started on Friday around 6 pm and it took until Monday (9/13/22) at 5 pm before it was working. I will say that customer service was helpful and kept me informed by email. I'm just glad I did lose my number. I've had it for 18 years. Everything seems to work as it should.
Stories like yours abound on the visible reddit.
I ported my number yesterday but to far it was from total wireless to visible +. Took maybe 20 minutes only because I had to enter the billing zip code again and put in the transfer pin
Nice. The video was very good and exelent!!!!!!
What a minute, boost mobile now is on AT&T Network?
your videos impact companies revenue, I was about to switch to mint then watch your visible videos then finally watch this video now im going to switch to us cellular or whatever its called lol
On your website your Check Coverage button does not work anymore. I wish there was a video for single plans. I hardly use more than 5gb/mo but I do want max speeds and priority data. I wonder which plan would be the best. Where I live I can only use verizon/Att
I signed up for Visible +. Porting my number took several days, until finally a Visible assistant suggested that I call my cell provider and request that they grant the phone number porting. Once this occurred, the process was completed pretty quickly. The second number that I ported to Visible took only 20 minutes because I called my cell carrier right away, to approve the porting.
US Mobile allows multiple lines on one account unlike Visible. That’s huge IMO.
But unfortunately doesn’t support Apple Watch. If they did I’d switch instantly.
Leaving US Mobile after 52 months. After data throttle down to 400kbps. Took the hotspot too.
@@josephkasal8180 Im on USM, loving it... watch plan on USM would be golden, i hope it will happen soon.
@@sundayduffer Plus US Mobile has 24/7 tech support on the phone. Another option that visible doesn't have as far as support goes.
Is us mobile premium data per line or per hold group if you sign up for multi line
Thanks for Another great video.
You’re welcome, David!
still wonder how this new plan stacks up against xfinity mobile. do they use the same cores? or different cores? as i live in New Jersey if switching to visible in a few months makes more sense , id be down just need more info on it.
How does this compare to Verizon Prepaid Unlimited+? It seems to have very similar specs with Visible+, but at $60.
As of May 2023, the unlimited premium+ plan is on sale for $35! I just switched yesterday, 5/25, and had no issues using eSIM with my iPhone. I switched from Verizon.
Awesome content. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
I live near a VZW mmWave node and I speed tested the Visible plus service and got the exact same speeds as I get on my VZW Get More plan. So basically I get 3 Gbps for only $45/month? Okay! 👍🏽
The new Xfinity $30/line for 2 lines with $30 off internet. 20GB of priority data and 5G UWB and C-Band dont count. I'm loving XM so far!
Im running on Visible Esim, they also are sending me a sim card, should I continue to use the esim or switch to the card? or is the service any better with the actual card?
Never had good service, so i upgraded to visible + but the only thing that happened is i get same slow sevice with a higher price
I currently am on Mint mobile in my paid trial period but too many places my 4G LTE drops to 2G if I get any service at all. This is why I am considering Visible. This video is three weeks old now so likely the kinks has been worked out, even if it has not been a full month.
Yeah I’ve switch from T mobile which is the network mint is using. Zero regret, amazing coverage, amazing price.
@@ctgaming168 Awesome but my one major question is... is there a data cap where data will go lower than 5GBPS if too much data is used?
@@johnny-becker There may be slow down after 50GB but for me as a heavy user, always outside with video and audio streaming plus gps 12 hours a day I never exceed 50GB. You can always try for a month, no contract no hidden fees and see if it works for you. For me the alternative from Verizon cost $80 plus fees and taxes. So it’s visible+ for me.
Edit: Other providers usually always slow down too unless maybe if you go for the most expensive plan. You may need to read the fine prints of those other providers. I don’t think it will be lower than 5mbps.
Same I’m on mint mobile & I get no service in some areas while on the road visible is essentially Verizon whole network 😅
I had a disastrous time trying to port my Verizon phone to Visible. Mint took seconds to correct the issue when I ported to them.
I am constantly tempted to switch to visible to get the Apple Watch connected and because of the network. But the clunky visible app and terrible service scares me.
You can use both Mint and Visible on an IPhone 12 simultaneously if one of the lines is not an esim. So my recommendation would be to get both when you need both and rely on Mint when you need one.
Thank you nice stream
i have to say i use visable as my main internet with pdanet plus a vpn works well enough about 5 to 30 mbs on the pc side
Do you know if visible is still having weird issues with porting to the new service from the legacy service? I’m currently on the Legacy service and Visible is telling me I gotta switch over to the new service soon. Do you know if they’re still having issues or if they’ve fixed it by now?
Visible had too many issues: phone not ringing, late txt, and the worst, dropped calls. US Mobile data speeds are inconsistent. You may get 90 - 220Mbps or .4 - 7Mbps in the same geographical area, two streets away. However, to their credit never a drop call. Better than paying Vzw $90/ month + taxes
I had no issues switching from esim to new plan esim. Visible is unbeatable.
Had some of the same struggles coming over to visible from Google Voice ha
I also had esim activation problems converting an existing plan and that was a while ago. There is no excuse for that crap and they need to get their sh*t together and fix it like they actually care. Thankful they finally got it off of that cloud network crap.
Just switched today, one switched flawlessly, one had trouble switching, it some how ported on the wrong sim slot but the support corrected it when i realized why it wouldn’t connect even though i gave them my imei2 id
Hi there, hows visible now? I have never heard of them but there was an offer through my job, Ive had straight talk for a long time but willing to switch to something new, straight talk was $45 plus tax, but doesn't include calls to Mexico or Canada.
I like Mint; however, I need Apple Watch support. The $5 add on with Visible is nice.
There’s a error in ur visible 30$ and $45 plan on the website says group savings when there is none small one
You definitely get what you pay for. I got it for the no data cap issue. The speed is pretty....average at best. It is rare for me to play any video over 480p without significantly buffering times. The speed varies wildly throughout the day with no real logic. The hotspot is very hot and miss. Honestly I feel like Verizon is planning on killing it off by making it worse and worse
I been running on visible for a year and I am pretty happy with it, It gives me reliable service for my work and I can even hook the hot spot to play computer game at a low rate but payable none the less.
I like the unlimited hot spot feature because I can run 2 or more phones on a single hot spot.
Obviously there is nothing premium about it but it's literally half the price than any other service with everything unlimited.
The only way you can beat this deal is if you're willing to pony the 80 bucks the big stores ask for a single line
use vpn no more buffing
@@adicesare3 vpn?
Can you get iPhone from Visible take it to Metro PCs for service
Does anyone know if Visible already ironed out the issues with activation for new customers? Thanks
Today as I'm writing this comment, visible now has 2f authentication and I had no problem activating the plan on my phone. I have love the service so far for my first month and feels like I have a less of a delay trying to watch and use the internet than my att service which at times doesnt even work at times.
I still pay 5 dollars a month with visible. Going on 3 years. 1 year plan is like 1 month with my old metro plan. Party pay plus sharing referral code. You can't beat that.
Can I use visible for playing xboxone?
Which plan would be best ?
Great video. Definitely going to consider Visible+ as my next plan. Seems like it has everything I need.
It’s a fantastic plan! One of the best out there for its price.
How to restart network setting?
The domestic roaming is NOT capped at 2G speeds, however, it is heavily deprioritized. I roam on Appalachian Wireless in my market (eastern Kentucky) and have pulled over 30 mbps down and 18 mbps up, which is typical for the 13/4 spectrum deployed here during off-peak.
That means if I go Puerto Rico will work now
Exactly. Staying on the $25 till forced off.
I think so, too. I got their service a backup to my current service and for the hotspot. I’m not looking forward to being forced into a new plan and possibly getting a new device.
@@roxcyn I did exactly the same as a back up to T Mobile and after 6 months of Visible data running faster and more reliable than T Mob hotspot dropped T mob data and kept text/talk only.
@@wizerdjuice9589 - I have Sprint but now T-mobile. I’ve had Visible since January 2021. I really hope they grandfather us in.
Is the hotspot limited to the device (smartphone) or can it be used on a router, etc.?
Visible hotspot must be used in a smartphone.
No n260 or n261 access on samsung
Can you bring a tablet to US Mobile? I have an iPad AIr (along with two iPhones with T-Mobile all unlocked) and I am tired of T-Mobile.
Visible Mobile is excellent I get about 2k download on UW. No issues at all.
Is Sam's. Galaxy S20 FE compatible with visible?
