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 for watching guys! Be sure to hit the SUBSCRIBE
