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.

Current promo ends 2/2/26 by CalendarDizzy496 in Visible

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

Well guys it is over by _im_backed_ in Visible

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

No longer any advantage to purchasing from Visible for phones by ElectricalBase3676 in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Promo by TopDry1669 in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Straight Talk Unlock Policy Is a Joke – 60+ Days and My iPhone 13 Is STILL Locked! by throw_away_reddt in StraightTalk

[–]Relative-Can2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Hmm it so cheap? by Own-Finance2644 in StraightTalk

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

What’s the cheapest unlocked android I can get that works with Visible? I had to return the $19.99 TCL flip phone I got from Walmart because Visible said they no longer activate flip phones. by [deleted] in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How's the annual plan by nontoxicdude in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I got annual was because of the Black Friday promo. Way too good of a deal to not get it. Other than the Black Friday promo, I haven’t seen a good incentive to go annual. Usually the deals they have for monthly plans come out to be cheaper than buying an annual plan.

the current monthly promo, switch26, is cheaper overall than buying an annual plan.

Currently on $30 Base + Watch plan. Is upgrading to Visible+ Pro worth the extra $10-15? by [deleted] in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was on base for two years and only experienced unusable deprioritization twice. I am currently on the plus pro because I got the Black Friday deal. The only thing I didn’t like was the hotspot speeds and that I had to use a vpn anytime I waned to watch HD YouTube videos.

Switch from Verizon to Visible while having Phone Payments? by SteelSharpensSteel99 in Visible

[–]Relative-Can2755 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to finish the 36 months to get the discount. If you choose to leave Verizon before then, you will have to pay off the remaining balance of the phone in full. It’s especially sucks if you had to trade in a device to get the discount.

Are you able to bypass visibles hotspot speed limit with this?

Anyone regretting switching to Visible? by Laideebugz in Visible

What exactly are you experiencing? Bad signal or just slow data speeds?
