About to finish my first month using the $35 Visible+ plan. Have used 440 GB of mobile data with 3 days left in the billing cycle. I do a lot of speed testing. Switched from Verizon postpaid. Visible is the GOAT Verizon carrier. Truly unlimited data and you don't notice the deprioritization when you're in a Verizon 5G UW market. 5G UW is unlimited premium data.
@@michaelwork5399 the only way to check data usage is to use the network settings on your own device. Visible doesn't tell you how much data you've used in the app. I think this is because Visible is truly unlimited data. It would be great if Visible did tell you in their app how much of the 50 GB of premium data you've used on 4G LTE and 5G Nationwide. Hopefully they will someday.
I recently ported over from T-Mobile postpaid, to US Mobile. I’m in US Mobile’s 100 Day Trial period at this time, but everything is running perfectly.
U.S. Mobile seems like the best way for me to go. Where were they when I switched over? I could be getting twice as much data as I'm getting now for the same price.
been with visible since they came out. They even give me a $5 discount monthly for being with them for so long. i only pay $25 a month for unlimited everything, i love it.
One issue I'm seeing with US Mobile is they add a $2.00 service fee and taxes etc. that's not part of their advertised price. So their $45 plan will add up to about $50 after the fees. Visible's $45 plan now is on sale for $35 and that is your TOTAL bill. BUT, US Mobile has more priority data, a better app where you can keep up with your data usage in real time and they have a phone number where you can talk to a real person, Visible does not have any of that. US Mobile does not support the Apple Watch with a separate line, must use your phones bluetooth, Visible does. If the main factor is money, then I think Visible edges out US Mobile. But if you need more priority data and like being able to call a real person for customer service and a better app, then for about $15 more, US Mobile may be a better option.
I have had US Mobile and I loved it. I did not keep it because the lack of Hotspot data. But they was really good and fast. Then I went to Visible and it has unlimited hotspot and they use the same towers as US Mobile.
I don't need hotspot since I have Version FIOS in my building with WIFi.. I'm on the US Mobiles Unlimited basic which has 40 GB of Verizon high spped data for around $40 with tax. I lost a number trying to port to Visible. Its tough trying to give the 300 people on my speed dial a new number.
USMobile has great customer service and also gives you perks for multiple lines like Hulu/Disney+, Apple Music, Spotify, etc. I will not go back to big carrier.
great video, thank you. could you please explain what you mean by 10gb for international usage and if i'll be able to use my phone in europe both data and call making...thank you very much.
i am going to give visable a try, i heard they are pretty good. anything on the verizon network is a go for me.. prepay is the way to go insted of post pay.. great video, and thanks for sharing!!
Tried Visible towards the end of last year and my phone(Motorola) wouldn't finish logging in but I was able to see the signal strength was only 3 bars at my house and I'm disabled. Had tried another carrier a few years ago that had 3 or less signal bars and had to leave.
Just by ALL that you said Sherri it’s clear US Mobile is the top choice. You get MORE bang for your buck, and you have the option to be under T-Mobile or Verizon Premium Network. That’s a far better deal than Mint (TM) or Visible (VZ).
Visible removed all family plans and raised their monthly plans to $40 & $45 for premium. Video streaming data is restricted to 540. When using Wi-Fi video streaming is 1080. West Coast
I've been w/Visible for almost 5 years and understood Party Pay to be like a "friends & family" thing, so I disregarded it. Thus I've been paying $40/month for years. Just found out last week how Party Pay actually worked and joined one of the parties they listed; now I'm paying $25. Haven't upgraded yet because I don't like the free Orbic Myra phone. But then I found out since my S9 is compatible on Verizon's network, it's compatible on Visible's as well, even though Visible says it isn't. (There seems to be confusion about compatibility on their part.) So I may decide to upgrade after all if I can still use my Samsung, but either way, it's $25/month or $35 for the new Visible+ plan. I'm in Melbourne, FL.
@@kareninalabama I would ask for a new sim card and give it a try. You will need a new sim card to get it to work anyway. The new Visible is really good in my area.
I have been with Mint mobile for 2 years. On a few occasions, the internet is spotty. They lack service I Alaska, which is supposedly on their coverage map. I going to Minnesota soon and hopefully it will not be the same. I preffer to pay for the whole year and save money.
MINT Mobile’s “UNLD” plan is throttle hard after 35GB so really is a 35GB plan. US Mobile is throttled after 100GB or 40GB depending if you get Unlimited Premium or Basic plan. So for more than 100GB get Visible or a major carrier or flanker brand. But less than 10% of people use more than 100GB so is good for most.
Wrong US Mobile and Visible is Full Speed. Well Duh any service that gives you say 35gb of data for example will throttle your data after your threshold lmao
So here's the thing: what needs to be said is what the hot spot data really entails - once you go over that 5GB allotment it drops to 600kbps... That's means 58kb/s download speeds. Most websites will fail to load properly on whatever device is connected to your hotspot. Also saying US Mobile's 50GB hotspot is "more than you would ever need" is probably the most absurd thing I've ever heard a "telecom expert" say. If someone using it isn't tech savvy enough to set it as a "metered connection" in their network settings and then shut off every program that uses background data, and set their desktop browser for data saving mode, they could actually go through 50GB in a day watching Netflix/Hulu/UA-cam/etc and Windows sitting in the background doing Windows Update shit. 50GB is *nothing* in the 2020s. That's why I'm so flabbergasted that T-Mobile thinks 5GB hotspot is enough before they drop your speed to something so slow that you'd have to switch a video to 144p just to watch it straight through without waiting for it to pause and download more of the video.
Just unsubscribed from USMobile. I really wanted to like this service. But I kept having a problem that kind of defeated the purpose of having it. My wanting the service was based on the 50gb of hotspot. Problem was that intermittently I would lose it and get a notification that I needed to subscribe to a hotspot service to use hotspot. Which is nuts because HS comes with USM. And there is no way I used 50gb of it. 99% of my use is on device and at best I use 30gb at work over the month on device. My need of the 50gb HS is for when internet goes down at home. And more often than not, when it goes down at home, it’s also down on my USM service. I truly hope it work’s better for others. On device works very well as long as I’m not home. At home speed stop out at 20mbps, still enough to run a few devices. Away from home, speeds are very good. Truth is at home all services are pretty shabby.
I tried all 3 and usmobiles Verizon plan is the best of all 3. Mint is great too if you like cheap but usmobile also has American support! When you call for any reason you get an American who you can understand. That’s worth the extra to me.
I have verizon but also have att I wanted to make sure I had service when I'm having to Travel for work I think I'll ditch att service was great for both on the road but to cut cost I'm going to drop att
you forgot to mention about visible swap program to get a free 4g phone. I am in need of a competiable phone to work with any of the carrier. Any recommendation?
The one thing I always have with these mvno networks is the throttling. I live an a congested area and I have tried US Mobile (both their VZ and TMo variants) and Visible. Both had terrible throttling issues in my area. I had to switch back to TMo proper.
@@flyingjoed In my experience they throttle anything that isn't 5G. If you're on 5G it is amazing. If you drop down to LTE it turns to absolute garbage.
@@nabby5030 Funny enough I have the opposite experience with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I feel like I’m not getting 5GUW at it’s full speed when on Visible+ plan. But on LTE it feels fast like it would on postpaid. I do see the priority status because my parents devices have a lower tier plan and their plan deprioritizes right as soon as I test my Visible+ line. Though coverage and all things considered, I’m happy paying $35/mo for a postpaid experience which would cost $80 with Verizon directly.
I have both T-mobile and Mint on different 4g phones. In the same remote area the Mint phone does not connect to data. T-mobile is horrible so i may just go to at& .
Question for anyone who reads this: I'm having a REALLY hard time finding a plan that offers a phone AND a second line for a tablet with enough data that I can get rid of Spectrum Time Warner internet ($84.99 a month). I live in LA and neither Verizon or AT&T have internet coverage here so a bundle option is out. I have checked with your lower tier options and they don't offer second lines. Can a phone plan be for a tablet or is a phone plan only for a phone and you have to add a second line for a tablet? (then I could get two lower price plans, from different carriers)
I think you can add a 2nd line just for data with the big carriers. Have you looked into Google Fi? They run on T Mobile network and their highest plan allows for up to 4 data only SIM cards you can input into your tablet. Hopefully that helps you out some? Good luck!
Boost Infinite should have been added. Unlimited talk, text and data (slowed speeds after 30GB). $25/month when you sign up for the beta right now (that price is locked for life!). It’s also a postpaid carrier. There is taxes and fees that vary depending on your state. I pay $28.37/month after taxes and fees.
Yep. I had to cancel and get a refund when trying to set up eSIM service on my new Pixel 7. Download of the eSIM failed but they charged me. I was left with paid service and no phone in which I could use it. Ridiculous.
Mint technically doesn't have unlimited data... Unless they do now after TMobile acquisition. Like most MVNOs of TMobile, Mint throttle your data after about 35GB (at least the last time I tested last year)
