I’ve been very happy with Visible. They’re owned by Verizon and in the long term, it’s the best value I’ve been able to find. They have a 2 week free trial period and frequently have awesome deals during Black Friday and in the Spring. Even without a discount though, plans start at $25/month with a plan that is probably enough for most people. Their highest tier (of 3) is $45.
Moved off T-Mobile for Visible after getting sick of their constant data breaches and haven’t been this happy with a cell carrier since Jump On-Demand was a thing.
The only real catches are:
Support is basically a chatbot and social media teams. However, human support reps do exist if you’re insistent enough, and I’ve only needed them maybe once in the past 3 years or so
Plans are for smartphones (and smartwatches with an existing smartphone line) only. No tablets or other devices.
Been on Visible for quite a while as well. I have never needed to contact support so can't speak on that. The only complaint I have is the app will force you to log in and authenticate every month (or used to idk I haven't been on it in a while)
Oh neat! Can't say I've heard of it, and for a while there I was very much leaning towards Mint, until they were bought by Tmo. Ryan should have fought for it, Deadpool style 😆
Really liking what I'm seeing. I'd def rather spend $70/mo than the ~$110 I am now. I personally just can't justify it for how little I use my phone, literally Lemmy, Newpipe and Fennec, with a side of fin account apps.
Check them out again around Black Friday! If you’re ok paying annually they usually have some pretty deep discounts then.
My first year was on a Black Friday discount and I got their high end plan (usually $45 a month) for $225 for the whole year (made it cheaper than the low end plan)! It renews at like $450 but that’s still so much cheaper than other carriers in the long term.
Sounds like you have multiple lines on TMo. Visible is a 1 line per account setup but with inner circle you can pay them all together and get another $5 a month off.
The ATT reps at Costco HATE me because they can’t offer a good enough deal to switch 😂
I've loved visible ever since I joined like 7 years ago. Unlimited 5G, $25 a month. Works great international when I need it, but it's an extra $5/day with my plan when I use it
