The rundown

About Visible

Who they are

Visible is Verizon’s in-house prepaid brand, built by Verizon rather than acquired, and run almost entirely online. There are no Visible retail stores: plans are bought and managed through the Visible app and website, with physical SIM kits orderable online or found at a few third-party retailers. Service is prepaid with no contract, and annual plans are offered alongside monthly ones.

Network & coverage

Visible runs on Verizon’s nationwide network, the same infrastructure as Verizon’s postpaid service, so coverage tracks Verizon’s footprint. The entry plan uses Verizon’s nationwide 5G and 4G LTE, while the upper tiers add Verizon’s high-band Ultra Wideband 5G. One catch worth knowing: the entry plan is always lower priority than Verizon postpaid during congestion, whereas the upper tiers include premium data that isn’t deprioritized.

How pricing works

Visible is prepaid with no contract and no early-termination fee. The lineup has a single entry tier plus two higher unlimited tiers that add premium data and faster hotspot. Taxes and fees are included in every advertised price, with no separate autopay discount to chase, since the listed rate is all-in. Annual plans are paid upfront for modest savings, and there is no formal multi-year price-lock.

Who it’s for

Visible suits people comfortable managing everything online who want all-in Verizon-network pricing without a credit check or contract, and who like the option to pay monthly or annually. It is less suited to anyone who wants in-person store support, and the entry tier is less suited to heavy users who need priority speeds in busy areas. The alternatives below are worth a look if walk-in service is your priority.

“Visible's an intriguing wireless option if you've got a taste for lots of data but you lack the budget for a higher-priced unlimited plan. Visible provides you with all the data you could want for a reasonable $25 to $45 monthly fee, and though you'll have to make trade-offs, they won't hamper your phone usage very much. 5G coverage via Verizon's network makes Visible even more compelling.”

“Visible delivers on its promise of unlimited data with great coverage on Verizon's LTE and 5G network. Unlimited talk and text are also included in the price, starting at $40 per month with room to save up to $15 per month when you sign up with a four-person party.”

Android Police

“For the most part, I’m very comfortable recommending Visible to most users. Verizon’s network, while it’s still playing catch-up to T-Mobile with 5G, still delivers plenty of usable speed. For lighter users, the base Visible plan is probably the better choice with its lower monthly price, but Visible+ offers a very worthwhile upgrade over that plan with impressive 5G speeds, plenty of hotspot speed to work or browse with, and international features that are as good as many postpaid plans.”

Top Ten Reviews
Top Ten Reviews 9.0

“Its simplified offerings and streamlined, app-based service management make it easy to use, and the toughest decision you need to make is which of the wide range of phones you want to buy with it. Its lower price and use of the Verizon network make it a great option for the majority of the US, especially if you don't need lightning quick speeds and could potentially add other people to your party plan.”

“If Verizon is the network you love, and you’re looking to save a few bucks each month, this is a no-brainer. That is, of course, provided you have a phone that works with its service.”

Their system is nothing but an endless series of glitches and their customer service is virtually useless - endless length chat session with escalations to specialists who emails you back 24-48 hours (or longer), from a no-reply email address.

I think you should go to a tech store or where ever you got your nook and get the screen fixed by a professional. Then to prevent the screen getting cracked again you should get a screen cover.

Hi Brian. Did your phone come with insurance? If it does, contact the insurance first to know where you can bring your phone for repair. Other than that, unfortunately, it's either you have it repaired or get another one.

Hi Melissa. They don't have a way to contact agents via calls. What they have is a live chat that you can find on their website.
