Mint mobile has been great for us for 4 yrs. Very happy!
We use Mint Mobile at the $15/month level and have been happy with it.

Mint sucks

@@Drew-ql3gq Sorry if you had a bad experience with it. Five people in my family have been using it over a year and it's been better than our previous carrier. Now, if as a result of T-Mobile buying Mint service goes down the toilet, we'll switch to another.

@@KhoaifamilyUS Ah, I guess that's why most of the 5 of us haven't had an issue. We don't use anywhere near that much data. So maybe it's bad for heavy data users, but for lower data users like us, it's been fine. And better than our previous one that sucked even for lower data users.

Unlimited hotspot and 50 GB premium data with Visible for $45/ month is why I'm with Visible. I had a weak signal in my home but come to find out it was because I was using a phone from 2022 (Google pixel 7) with a weaker antenna. After I upgraded to a Oneplus12R I get super fast speeds at my place and in 5g with a better antenna and updated bands

Good to know, I have the Pixel 7 Pro.
I have visible+ at $35/month. I am in an area that Verizon is the only service that works good. T-mobile is very weak here. I have unlimited hotspot and I use it as my home internet. I very rarely have any problems with it.
I use US mobile. It's fantastic
Saving close to $1k a year with visible from Verizon themselves. Feels nice
Everyone’s situation is different. I was with Visible but have had a better experience with Mint. I’m finishing my 1st full year with them and will reup for another year.
I have both. That way I have both networks on my phone. Added bonus, I have an extra phone number to use for situations where I don't wish to give away my primary number. I can set that number to have a silent ring-tone so it doesn't disturb. While my primary number rings and I can communicate with family and friends. That car salesperson isn't getting my primary number. They are getting the "silent number" that just goes to vmail. Edited to add. TMO has the best coverage in my home. But traveling, I have a better chance of getting a signal on the VZN network. The iphone supports cellular data switching. I set my data to the Visible plan as the primary data source, but it will automatically switch to Mint if the VZN network isn't cutting it.
Just signed up for Visible. $395 for a year for the + plan and only $32 a month can’t beat it. Visible is awesome for single line users.
I have visible wireless and recently I had my first big problem with them. So I recently purchased a phone off there there or website however you want to look at it. Received the phone and could not activate it. Waited 2 days for them to fix their issue. They mixed up the IMEI number back to my own device. Day three completely frustrated so I just had them ship me a physical SIM card. Now you're probably wondering, well, why didn't they just ship a physical SIM card with the phone just in case. Would have made sense right. So now I have to wait two more days for a physical sim card because I ordered after 8 pm. Luckily I still have service on my old phone but I am still extremely disappointed with visible wireless. I am currently thinking about total by Verizon because of the physical stores...Idk yet
US Mobile user here. I had Visible before and had to switch due to their high ping back then. They seemed to have solved that issue now but I don't have any reason to leave US Mobile.

Yeah, both Mint and Visible are piggybacked on the main carrier's server's, therefore ping times are much higher. You get what you pay for. heh

Is the basic plan for visible good enough does have a fast internet
I've used Metro for over 10 years. It's never failed me outside of the odd outages that happen with every carrier.
I love Visible. I'm grandfathered in with a discount, so I only pay $35 for the Plus package.

Not the same as the $45 plan, especially if you travel internationally. Hotspot still cap at 5mbps.
Great review, thanks, mint mobile doesn't have good coverage in all my frequent locations so I'll investigate Visible.😊😊😊

Glad my video was helpful!
I use Mint mobile with the unlimited plan for 15$/month (for 3 months) and with the 1+1 promotion and well it's true that we've had a lot of issues with them and that one of the phones (iPhone 13 Pro Max) only get 4G LTE but out of that it is fine.
Just signed on with MINT and it's been great compared to verizon. Moved to Florida and verizon doesn't work well at all in the south, att and t mobile are the best. I opted for the 15$ / 3 months to try it and I'm sure I will continue with serive.
Thank You for the video but I am a little confused. The two different plans with Visible both state unlimited data. Does that mean zero throttling after a certain amount is reached? And the only difference is one has Ultra Wideband 5g while the less expensive one just has 5g?
@foXnoMad

The current offering difference between the Visible and Visible + plans are access to Ultra Wideband network without throttling and a few other differences (e.g. some international perks). But like you mention, both have unlimited data and for most people the differences won't be major ones.

@@sueellenmcgoey it is that the plus doesn't have 5gUW in Ocala. There is no place in Ocala big enough for a large crowd to congest the network so without any of those factors. The basic plan on basic 5g works good enough.
Thanks. I want to switch to Visible but don't want to buy a Visible phone and my Samsung is showing up as not compatible. Is there a way around this to use my Samsung on Visible?

Your phone may be locked to the wireless provider your using right now. Typically the cell phone provider especially when you buy your phone from them. They usually always have a period of time that has to elapse before you can unlock the phone completely.
I left Verizon for Mint a few years ago. I'm very happy with Mint and will stick with them.
How would you compare Visible vs US Mobile?

I'm told all of tracfone is on verizon now. That was a step down for me, as ATT reception is better in my area.
Only thing im frustrated about Visible is their 5g is pretty slow I'm only on the 25.00 plan thouh which I find kind of dumb theres prioritized data for an extra charge... Othewise its great!
Visible is like Herbalife of cell phones!

It was a big downgrade and loss of what was a great feature. kzread.info/dash/bejne/loabpayiaJu2ips.html
Ok. After my 3 months are over with Mint i will get Visible.
Never did I like mint mobile I only tried it because I was bombarded by KZread ads I had it hooked up to a Motorola G power 2022. I got a target gift card for $10 because I bought three months worth of service then when it came time for renewal, they want all these taxes and fees where it was about 200 and some dollars. I try to stay away from T-Mobile directly indirectly I have a boost mobile line which uses the T-Mobile network. Visible I try to sign up for them, but I couldn’t create an account. I wouldn’t want any Verizon service without the ultra wideband.
funny because visible is not a mvno
Mvnos suck

Yeah, who would want to save tons of money while getting the same service. 🤦
T mobile has the fastest and most coverage in the 5G arena. i bought a Moto G 2024 from mint mobile and got a one year, 15GB plan for 15 smacks a month. the regular price is 20. i do like the month to month of Visible though. ymmv competition is good for the customer and keeps companies honest. im not a speed junkie but got 424Mbps down, 42Mbps up, speed in anniston alabama with mint mobile. google fiber speed test. oh and nothing can compete with a good Linux desktop. i use a mobile phone at work because i have no other choice.
Im on US Mobile and no one can touch their pricing and great service along with the best customer service in the world US Mobile is the mobile network champion!
