I switched to At&t because Verizon Service is not what it use to be. They kept throttling my speed even when I signed up for unlimited and pay well over 300 bucks a month. The layoffs and reorgs are really hurting the network superiority Verizon use to hold. Customers are switching to other carriers that can provide the reliability Verizon use to uphold. So disappointed! Also, regular people do not need 5G speeds they just need reliability. The whole NFV, SDN and 5G is hurting the company from within. Its not working. They need to start back with the basics and focus on FIOS and deploy fiber. Management is a complete joke. Secret startups to oath. Wonder what else is next.
Just got an Invite code for visible. 0abfa
I must hav seatched visible too many times on google. A Visible ad popped up. I clicked it and got an erroe. Refreshed the screen and the Join Form pops up w/ a populated imvite code.
Ah yet .... the old phone company way of doing business. Verizon still thinks they are the only game in town and their network is superior. They have yet to understand that if you live in North Carolina you generally do not care how good the network is in California. You only care how good it is in North Carolina. This plan has so many limitations and 'qualifiers' that it just reeks of the old way the phone companies did business, trying to corral or corner their customers.
I suspect that companies like Smart Talk and others are hurting Verizon much worse than what Verizon cares to admit. Heck, you can get much better deals from Smart talk and bring virtually any phone you want to.
"Yes with max speed of 5meg a second and crappy video. Pass"
And Visible will be slow too? I had already passed -- but that's a clincher.

"I noticed that. Its a low fuss option for people who do not need stores, or people to talk to over the phone. Also its bring your own devices only."
And like everything else Verizon is doing lately, they're half-assing it. You need to be recommended by a current customer. You need to use an iPhone (but not all iPhones will work), and download the iPhone app. No Android available -- yet. As big as Verizon is, can't they have something that's ready to go BEFORE they launch it?
$40, unlimited everything. My kids get unlimited everything on T-mobile for $20. Oh I get it, Verizon has "better" service to justify the higher price. (All you have to do is hunt down one of their laid off employees and slip him some cash, under the table if you want that "better" service.)

If you go to the FAQ section on the website, and under the charges and payments section it says (and I quote) "how can visible be only $40?"
"with other phone services, you pay for a lot of things you don't really need, like stores and sales reps."
Interesting comment indeed when you consider all the recent happenings...
