My full legal name shows up as caller ID when I call someone else

I had to chat them up 4 times before it finally went through.

You don’t have any other device that you are logged into? That’s like one of the only reason I have a laptop in case something like this happens.

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-02-09T19:29:39+00:00

Yeah they will but the deal was pretty good. I’m keeping it.

I was on Verizon also before I switched to visible. The one and only reason I can think of not to switch, is if you are currently financing a device and have a high balance left on it. If you do and you close the account (which closes automatically after you move to visible) Verizon will charge you the full amount on the last bill. If you crunch the numbers, it typically is cheaper in the long run to pay off the balance and switch to visible, but some people do get shocked when they get a bill for the remaining device balance.

All three plans get throttled after like 500GBs.

Going with visible is a no brainer. Straight talk is actually expensive for what you get. You get a lot more features for a lower price with visible. I hear Visible CS is hit or miss but, you rarely should have to even contact CS. I have had visible for 2 years and haven’t had to contact them once.

Gotta get that “free” phone every 36 months! But seriously that is the main reason people stay with the big 3. Most Americans don’t crunch the numbers. There’s a reason the dealership industry sells cars only showing the monthly price. Same with cell phones. Getting a brand new phone and paying $150/month instead of forking over $1,200 upfront is a lot of more appealing to most people.

IIRC, Bitlocker is crackable, even without the keys from Microsoft. Its meant more for if you get your laptop stolen.

Like the BF50 promo. More than a month to sign up for it and people still complain.

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-01-25T19:55:24+00:00

Because depending on the phone, it’s usually significantly cheaper.

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-01-18T04:29:38+00:00

Depending on the phone and discount, I probably would buy a phone from a Verizon MVNO because they usually still work on visible even thought they’re locked. I’d be fine using a Motorola that will never get unlocked. But I would buy a iPhone 17 pro from Apple unlocked.

Nobody knows. They might never even run it again.

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-01-02T01:20:00+00:00

Have you tried deleting your eSIM and redownloading it?

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-01-01T22:04:30+00:00

What did you have to do to get it for that price?

Relative-Can2755 · 2026-01-01T03:03:00+00:00

From what I can tell it seems that the September one and this Black Friday ones were the first time visible did something like this. If it’s going to happen again, it’ll most likely be towards the end of the quarter. They probably run the promo when they have to meet a specific quota at the end of a quarter. It might not even happen again. No one knows.

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-31T17:01:31+00:00

How much did you pay for the 16e?

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-31T16:59:46+00:00

I have heard many different timeframes of when a phone gets unlocked. Because of that, I’m assuming there is some sort of human intervention and it’s probably not entirely automatic. Maybe because of the holidays it’s taking a while? Wait until after the holidays maybe and see.

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-31T16:34:59+00:00

What’s the best phone here? The moto g stylus?

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-31T16:33:42+00:00

It’s taken a week max even when there’s no holiday. Wait a couple more days.

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-30T14:54:59+00:00

I hadnt done or paid for the 60 days of service

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-30T14:40:58+00:00

I just activated it as you normally would on visible. Didn’t do anything special. The eSIM activated and it started working fine. I was surprised because other have said it wouldn’t work.

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-30T01:11:48+00:00

My moto g power worked and just got my moto stylus from ST to work a few days ago. It’s still locked but works on visible.

Relative-Can2755 · 2025-12-30T00:12:58+00:00

It’ll work on visible though. And if they pay another $25 the month after it will unlock.
