Unlike most low-cost carriers, Visible is an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) owned by one of the major networks.
Even though Visible is Verizon owned, they still have the same principles of a low-cost carrier. Offering a low-cost plan but with the same nationwide 4G LTE coverage.
Visible like to keep things simple, so we've broken it down for you below to see if this is the right MVNO for you.
Visible plans & pricing
Plan | Network | Minutes | Texts | Data | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Verizon | Unltd | Unltd | Unltd | $25** $15 off 1st Month + $100 visa card |
Taking away the overwhelm, Visible offers just one plan, with everything unlimited - including data. If your phone is compatible you'll also get access to Verizon's 5G network where it's available.
Although not the cheapest MVNO, it still saves you money compared to going direct with Verizon. And their Party Pay is a great option for multiple lines.
Like a family plan, Party Pay gives you a discount the more lines you have. The good news is that each member will receive their own bill so you're not responsible for managing everyone's payment.
