I switched the beginning of July. It was seamless. I had been thinking about changing for about 3 months. I saw your video. Nest day sim card and I was rockin. Thank you.
Just so you know it's pretty easy to set the visible hotspot connect to a small pocket side hub that then you connect all your devices to the hub and have unlimited devices connected to it that allows you to have everything in your home hooked up. I bought a used phone for 20 dollars and was paying 25/m that provided whole home internet with visible
That small pocket side hub, is that ethernet wired connections from multiple devices to the hub or is that a wi-fi hub? Which pocket hub did you get? Thanks!
It’s about the size of a wallet. Here is what I did. Since the visible service restricts you to one hit spot connection I got a cheap android phone activated visible service on the cheap phone. I then turned on the mobile hotspot on I then plugged the android cell phone into the charger and left it. I then bought the Wi-Fi box you tell it to connect to your hot spot. Once it connects to the hotspot you then connect to its Wi-Fi not the hotspot. It uses the hotspot then shares a unlimited amount of connections to it. So then you go around to all your devices and you connect it to the small box and it will handle the service and the internet through the visible device. Visible will see it as a single device. There are many UA-cam tutorials on which device to get and how to set it up my device is called aravpower
I took your advice and switched. I live in north Manatee County Florida. My service is horrible. I have run multiple speed tests and I’m barely getting 1MB down and .03MB up. Thank God I still have internet and a WiFi router. Might want to check your area for coverage before switching. I did check my zip code when ordering and Visible said I would be good, unfortunately that isn’t the case.
You are slightly incorrect in the understanding of what's happening when you pay more for visible. Technically it is indeed getting you access to the ultra wide band of 5g. But the likelihood you are anywhere near a ultra wide band connection i would take the bet. Ultra wide band has a very super short distance that it can work under and if you have a tree in the way it's cut in half. What you are really paying for having the bandwidth throttling lifted some on both the download and upload. It's easy to offer unlimited data when they can control artificially the amount of data you can use by limiting and capping the data transmission rate. Visible on the cheaper plan caps at around 200mbps on non congested networks. When you upgrade that limit gets increased. I hope this helps in keeping accurate information for your viewers
Visible's standard plan is speed throttled and deprioritized, its Plus plan uses "Premium Data", which is not speed throttled or deprioritized, and you get 50GB of full speed hotspot...that's probably the difference, even considering the 5G vs 5G UWB. Both plans include taxes and fees, they're among the better plans out there.
The key is, “can be throttled”, not must be. I haven’t experienced it yet where I’ve traveled in the west, but am expecting to be throttled if I’m in Quartzite AZ next January.
Incorrect there is packet shaping and throttling happening 24/7 The fact that you don’t notice means they are doing a good job at it. But 100 percent your visible connections has caps and limits and as you use it packets are delayed due to the prioritization
Correction, the hotspot is unlimited data at a max speed of 5 Mbps on both the Visible base and Visible+ plans. I'm currently using the Visible+ plan myself.
I use Mint Mobile it's only $15/mo but not unlimited, 5Gb but I find that's plenty unless I am traveling all month. Same concept but uses TMobile - I used Visible before switching
I have visible for my Granddaughter and me. I am happy. Att is my main phone but this gives me more hot spot usage and as I travel in my camper if att isn't working i might have visible. When visible updated my granddaughters phone wasn't compatible. I bought a rebuilt phone from visible for $100. Good price.
Tim you mentioned before that your old basic plan you were using the hotspot for wifi with unlimited data and no throttling of speed. Have you tried a speedtest of the wifi hotspot on the new plus plan yet? Are you still getting unthrottled speeds and if so what are they? Just curious because I recently upgraded my phone and switched to the basic $25 grandfathered plan and they now cap hotspot download speeds at 5mbps (verified) which isn't good if your need to stream anything in HD or 4k...
I was able to get a refurbished iPhone7 from them for inexpen$ive to upgrade* from my old droid phone to get either new plan. I went with the regular $30 plan (grandfathered at $25), but might change to other if I travel to Canada next summer.
which phone you use on Visible matters a lot and Visible phones are EXPENSIVE and only the EXPENSIVE ONES REALLY WORK ... so which phone are you using , SIR !?!?
I moved to this plan like 4 months ago first month everything was good good speed in ultra wide speed but now like 3 weeks ago I experienced really slow speed in this plan I feel like I have to switch back to the normal plan and save some money I don’t know why stop working the ultra wide speed 👎
And I thought you were already crushing it.. Dig your vibe S..Tim ! Sounds very similar to Spectrum's service and deal. Though no Ultra WB that Im aware of yet. Keep living the dream dude. Your an inspiring guy 👍🙏🤘
Do your research on 5G technology and know what you are getting into before you use it and especially before you recommend it to others. Why do you think they are giving it away for "free"?
Most 5G phones allow you to disable 5G if you like. I disabled mine to avoid the extra radio frequencies, save battery, and most importantly, because 5G makes little to no difference in my particular area.
I have xfinity wireless and if you turn on 5G on your phone, you get it at no charge. YMMV. settings> cellular> your number> voice and data> 5G auto. 5G will appear in the upper right when you are connected to a 5G tower. Verizon and others have 5G maps on their website.
The hotspot is unlimited data at a max speed of 5 Mbps on both the Visible base and Visible+ plans. I'm currently using the Visible+ plan.

@@RyanC302 Awesome, thanks!!!
@@RyanC302Wow! Great idea! What wi-fi modem do you use?
@@RyanC302hi could you please send me a Link to what and where to get the device that you have.
Many Thanks again for all your help.
God Bless
Tim you crushed it yet again 😂😂😂

yeah that goes for antyhing really. Tmobile is crap here but may be great other places.
Yes, that is unfortunate. There’s nothing worse than looking at a phone or a computer that just spins in circles. Sorry for your aggravation. 😎
@@SarasotaTim it’s certainly not your fault, Visible obviously works well for you. Thanks for the great content.
Cell phone and internet for $25 a month! Keep crushing it!

Oh, I can tell you is I’ve been with him for four years and I’ve uploaded at least four videos today lickety-split driving around. Works for me!😎
Thanks for the info Tim !
I’ve tested both and use it streaming in my car all the time and really don’t see any difference. Never an issue w the lower tier for me.
x2 even though I get the uw symbol - the data speed is no faster than regular 5G or LTE for that matter.
@@c.simp. correct
🫡 keep preaching Tim!
Thank you Tim. I just got this and it’s great! $10 to start thanks to your discount code. I love the unlimited data.
Thanks for the advice, Tim. I've been thinking about switching to another company.

Growing in subs...yay for you.😊
Your subscriber base is really growing
appreciate your videos Tim. Been watching your cruise videos too!
Who do you call when you have a problem with visible phone?
probably Ghostbusters...

Had me going with that math problem!! 😉
Great video! How do download your videos?

what phone are you using :)
Are you saying that I can use my phone to send internet to my computer? For $30 a month? You have got to be kidding me!!
The price of the Visible base plan has been permanently dropped to $25 a month.
Sounds good Tim but what happens when we've used up our 5g?
I use Verizon postpaid. Yeah it's a little expensive but I like it. I do like your videos. 👍
The why are all your videos on youtube at 720p and not 1090p??`
Good point, he needs to upload in at least 1080p going forward
Hi Tim, tried to use the friend code for visable and they are are saying the code is no good?
which phone you use on Visible matters a lot and Visible phones are EXPENSIVE and only the EXPENSIVE ONES REALLY WORK ... so which phone are you using , SIR !?!?
Visible still the best I just referd my cousin to visible my cousin was paying for t mobile for 200 she got visible she likes it
PSA, The price of the Visible base plan has been permanently dropped to $25 a month.

hi Tim can I call Canada with visible how much extra is it?
