If you've ever wanted Verizon service without the monthly financial burden that comes with the privilege, a Visible phone plan is what you're looking for. Visible has some of the best monthly rates in the industry. As a Verizon-owned wireless provider, it runs on the same 5G cellular network, albeit with modest data restrictions.

Visible's two-year deal has returned with even better numbers, offering up to $15 off every month for two years with the promo code SWITCH25. This beats the last promotion the carrier had in terms of price and duration. The offer is valid until January 31, 2025.

Not sure which Visible plan to go with? Visible and Visible Plus are your only two options, and both offer unlimited talk, text, data, and mobile hotspot usage. Visible Plus stands out by offering extra savings on Verizon services, faster hotspot speeds, and more.

Best deals on Visible phone plans

Visible is offering savings on both of its monthly plans right now. With the promo code SWITCH25, new members can opt for $5 off the carrier's base plan or $15 off Visible Plus. Compared to the two-year offer Visible had in previous months, this is an even better savings if you opt for Visible Plus, and it extends for an extra month.

Although the deal runs for 25 months, members aren't obligated to stay for the full period. Starting on the 26th month, pricing will return to the default full cost. Existing Visible users cannot use this promotion, nor can it be combined with any other coupon or discount.

New members can also save money by signing up for an annual plan. If you're ready to commit to a full year of service, paying for 12 months upfront knocks up to $145 off. 

Right now, if you purchase your phone with Affirm financing and pay at least 50% off, Visible is offering to pay the remaining 50% when you upgrade to the next model. You can also use trade-in and phone swap offers to buy a new phone without paying full cost. 

Visible mobile FAQs

Does Visible have a free trial?

Visible offers a free 15-day trial to anyone with a compatible and unlocked smartphone. All you have to do is connect to Wifi and download the Visible app. Once there, you can follow the given steps to get a trial phone number with which you can use Visible's unlimited data, talk, text, and hotspot usage for 15 days. 

You do not need to cancel your current carrier's service to sign up for Visible's free trial. In fact, Visible recommends keeping your service to compare against their own during your free trial.

Visible vs. Visible Plus: What's the difference?

The most significant difference between Visible and Visible Plus is that the latter offers access to Verizon's fastest 5G Ultra Wideband (UW) network, which has faster speeds and better reliability in congested areas. Those benefits only come into play if you can even access it. 5G UW is only available in select markets and requires specific phones. You'll also get broader international calling and texting options, and the "Premium Network Experience" guarantees you full speeds up to 50GB, even during peak traffic hours.

No matter which you pick, both plans offer unlimited everything. That includes talk, text, data, and even mobile hotspot, a rare concoction for MVNO cell phone service.

How good is Visible phone service?

Our Visible Wireless review found that it offers great overall value for money. The cellular network is top-notch, owing to its piggybacking on Verizon's extensive nationwide 5G network. We like the low monthly prices and the ability to get unlimited data no matter which plan you're on.

The slow network speeds after exceeding thresholds and experiencing network congestion are annoying, but that's a standard practice most MVNOs use to keep costs down. We also thought Visible's customer support could be better (you only get direct help using its online chat) and would have appreciated even a small discount for having multiple lines.

Is Visible owned by Verizon?

Verizon does own Visible. Unlike T-Mobile's purchases of Metro and Mint Mobile and AT&T's purchase of Cricket Wireless, Verizon built Visible from the ground up. The MVNO launched in 2018 and operates independently under Verizon's supervision.
