The available models include the iPhone 6s, ‌iPhone‌ 6s Plus, ‌iPhone‌ 7, ‌iPhone‌ 7 Plus, ‌iPhone‌ 8, ‌iPhone‌ 8 Plus, ‌iPhone‌ X, ‌iPhone‌ XR, ‌iPhone‌ XS, ‌iPhone‌ XS Max, and iPhone SE, with device payments ranging from $10 to $60 per month.

Visible also supports Android devices now, starting with the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The network previously operated on a bring-your-own-iPhone basis.

Last, the network has launched a new Visible Protect plan with access to AppleCare. Available in select markets, starting at $10 per month, the plan provides protection against accidental damage, loss, theft, and out-of-warranty hardware failure, with the option for same-day service for new ‌iPhone‌ devices.

Verizon quietly launched Visible in May 2018 as a digital, app-based carrier that offers unlimited text, talk, and data with speeds up to 5 Mbps for $40 per month, inclusive of taxes and fees. The mobile virtual network operator relies on Verizon's nationwide 4G LTE network in the United States.

5 mbps is dial up by todays standards. Might as well as leave out data entirely.
You can stream video at 3 mbps. What more do you need?

Sure I have gigabit fiber to my home, but I don't need to download 4K movies to my barely full HD iPhone while I am wandering around town away from wifi. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind unlimited data with restricted bandwidth if it came with a reduced monthly bill. 5 Mbps is plenty for how I use my phone.

No I think dial-up is still dial-up by today's standards. 5 mbps is not too bad, especially compared to dial-up.

I don't trust Verizon, no matter what they rebrand themselves as.

These lower end brands not to mention lower speed normally have a reduced priority on the wireless tower. I used one of AT&T's lower brands before and in areas where there wasn't congestion it was perfect, but go into the city etc. and you'd get no signal before the full on AT&T customers did.

So keep in mind if you plan on using it in congested areas for Verizon.
