How Visible Plans Work
Visible by Verizon 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 Metro by T-Mobile and what were once 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 formerly offered customers the ability to save up to $15/month on their service when they signed up for Party Pay. Party Pay was Visible’s take on multi-line discounts. Each Party Pay group member was 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. However, in August of 2022, Visible eliminated its Party Pay program and introduced a new pricing model while adding a second unlimited data plan.
With the August of 2022 update, Visible’s unlimited plans started at $30/month for its basic unlimited plan and $45/month for its premium unlimited plan with taxes and fees included in the prices. In August 2023, the price of the $30 plan was lowered to $25/month. The plans were further tweaked in March of 2024 to add more premium features to the flagship plan. On April 1, 2025, the plans were updated again, a new and more premium plan was added, Visible+ Pro. Visible’s former flagship plan saw a $10/month price decrease. Below is an overview of the feature differences between its three unlimited plans.
| Basic Plan | Visible+ | Visible+ Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $25 | $35 | $45 |
| 5G Ultra Wideband Access | No | Yes | Yes |
| Unlimited Premium Priority Data | No | Yes | Yes |
| Free Roaming In Mexico & Canada | No | 2GB/day | 2GB/day |
| International Calling From US To 85+ Countries | No | No | Yes |
| International Texting From US To 200+ Countries | No | No | Yes |
| Unlimited Hotspot Data Speeds | 5Mbps | 10Mbps | 15Mbps |
| Apple Smartwatch Service | $10/month | $10/month | Included |
| Verizon Home Internet Discount | $5/month | $10/month | $10/month |
| Unlimited talk and text and 2GB of data with mobile hotspot in over 140 countries | $10/day | One day free per month | Two days per month |
*Premium data is data that doesn’t slow down compared to other customers on the same network when the network is busy with a lot of traffic. However, data speeds may still slow down a bit due to capacity issues. Customers without premium data will experience much slower data speeds compared to customers with premium data when the network is busy. Subscribers to the Visible+ and Visible+ Pro plan have unlimited premium data when connected to Verizon’s 4G LTE, 5G Nationwide and 5G Ultra Wideband networks. Ultra Wideband coverage is only available in a limited number of cities in select locations.
Visible’s unlimited plans have several features in common:
- Unlimited calling and texting to both Mexico and Canada
- Unlimited mobile hotspot
- Spam/Robocall protection
- Taxes and fees included in the price
- Only one line allowed per customer account
Customers referring a friend to Visible get $20 off their next month of service. A maximum of 12 referral credits can be earned and banked during a calendar year.
In early January of 2022, Visible added Scam Protection, a robocall blocking filter. A free trial through eSIM was also launched in January. The trial gives customers with Visible eSIM compatible devices a free 15-day trial without the need for any type of payment card at signup. In April of 2022, Visible added eSIM support for Google Pixel devices and later support for Samsung Galaxy devices.
In April 2024, Visible updated its phone plans to give customers additional discounts for prepaying for service one year in advance. The annual plan discounts lower the Visible base plan’s price to $22.92/month ($275 due at sign up) and the Visible+ plan to $32.92/month ($375 due at sign up). When the Visible+ Pro plan was added on April 1, 2025, its annual plan price was set at $37.50/month with $450 due at sign up.
Visible by Verizon is designed for single line customers only. You can only have one line per account. However, if you really need multiple lines, you can get around this by creating multiple accounts using a different email address for each one.
Overall, Visible can be considered one of the best value’s on the market for customers who need a truly unlimited 5G data plan. For customers that don’t need a truly unlimited data plan, or want family plan discounts, there are cheaper options out there with plans available for less than $25/month.

I was with in-Visible since 2020 over 2 years. My bill was $25 (Party Pay). Don’t do it! PLEASE READ…The customer service is Non-Existent! I only stuck it out because it was $25. Chatting online…a whole new level of frustration that you never thought your body could feel or endure. You are in a chat queue with 50 people ahead of you (an hour or more). Finally a chat agent. Now you’re frantically typing and hopefully explaining clearly what your problem is. Because most likely they won’t have a clue.Then, to your surprise, you’ve been DISCONNECTED from the chat. Well good luck with that because you have to start the entire process over. Steer clear…spend $10 a month more and get real customer service.
very solid MVNO. probably in my top 2. For vzw service, there really doesn’t seem to be any better. I had to switch from them bc they didn’t support texts and calls to Canada and I had colleagues for work from Canada.
but honestly, with how poor others are (ATT Prepaid $300 annual plan doesn’t offer 4G, Boost Mobile is just a whole host of issues) I might go back to visible.
(only other downside is that CS is only thru online chat via the app, but to US based people in CO. and they are human, very relatable)
This user would HIGHLY recommend these guys.
I am very interested in your visible after 30 yrs with at&t. I would like to know what additional charges are on the bill after the $40,00 charge. Also what must I do with my at&t account.
