Visible In 2021: What You Need To Know

Visible is not actually an MVNO but is a prepaid wireless brand owned by Verizon.  It was launched in 2018.

Visible was likely launched to give Verizon a brand that could compete directly against AT&T’s Cricket Wireless, T-Mobile’s MetroPCS and Sprint’s Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile brands.

At launch, service was only available on Apple iPhones.  However, in January of 2019, support was added for select Android devices.

Visible’s privacy policy is something you may want to be aware of if you are considering signing up for service.  The privacy policy states:

“We collect information when you use our service. This includes information about the calls you make and receive, text messages you send and receive, websites you visit, mobile applications you use, and wireless network and device information, including location, Internet protocol (IP) address and connection speed, mobile telephone number, device and advertising identifiers, browser type, and operating system.”

Visible subscribers can save up to $15/month on their service when they signup for Party Pay. Party Pay is Visible’s take on multi-line discounts. Each Party Pay group member is responsible for paying their own bill directly to Visible as opposed to a traditional multi-line discount plan where the head of the account pays the bill for everybody. In February of 2021, Visible updated Party Pay to remove its maximum member limit. Prior to the update, a Party Pay group could only contain a maximum of 4 members. After the update, the limit was removed to not have one.

Also as part of the February plan update, a referral program was introduced. Customers referring a friend to Visible get their next month of service for $5. A maximum of 12 referral credits can be earned and banked during a calendar year. The company also added international calling and texting to Mexico and Canada.
