Right. Won't work on a flip phone. But if you have a smartphone that's less than 3 years old it will probably work even if not officially supported. For example, DD's iPhone 13 wasn't officially on their eSIM compatibility list but it still worked in Israel in January.
Using a regular sim card?


The list is a joke

Thinking of switching, any updated thoughts?
Is it good?

Bump
WOW, enjoying this party at $25/m for over two years now...

Visible recently announced that they're stopping to offer this Party Pay thingy. They're going to offer a $30/m base plan and a $45/m Visible Plus plan. See more details here https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/visible-is-updating-its-plans-but-party-pay-is-going-away/

Thankfully so far they're letting existing clients grandfathered in "as long as we support the plan and the cloud network structure."

👍

Nice that they allowed you to switch to a new party, given that they now stopped supporting Party Pay for people that aren't in a party yet.

Visible has been bombarding me with emails to update my phone plan or else. Is everyone getting this? Any ideas what to do if my phone isn't compatible?

Can you elaborate? Is the upgraded plan for expensive? Why is your phone not compatible?

Apparently the old visible plans work on a different system that is getting shut down and everyone will need to upgrade to the new visible plans. Which means no more party pay. They have 2 new plans to choose from and if you move from Party Pay you will get a discount on the new plan.  The cheaper of which will cost $25 like Party Pay.
Im not sure why my phone isn't compatible. I originally thought it's because my phone doesn't have 5g. However I know of a couple people that were able to make the switch even though they don't have 5g phones.

Here is the email I received today:

This is an official notice that you must take action to keep your Visible service active, as your current phone is not compatible with our new network. Several changes to your account will happen if you do not.


Network shutdown

The network your plan is on will be shut down in September, and your service and all account access will terminate on or before that time if you have not yet upgraded to a newer phone.


Payments

After July 1, autopay will be turned off. You will only be able to make manual payments through your July payment date, as your plan won't be up for renewal after that.


Avoid service termination

To avoid these actions, you need to upgrade to a newer phone now.


Required action:

Select the phone you want.
Choose the new Visible plan.
Once you receive your phone, login to the Visible app to activate it.

Upgrade to a newer phone now
Mobile number access

We hope you upgrade to our new network, but if you plan to leave Visible and wish to take your number with you, you must request to port out your phone number before September, or else you may lose access to it. Do not cancel your Visible service first, or you will automatically lose access to your number.

Correct, that's why I wondered.

Which phone do you have? Is this also the phone you see when you login to your Visible account (if you used in the past another old phone, I found that the system doesn't update to the new model you might be using.)

I'm using a pixel 3. Same device I signed up with.

Indeed, I see that it's not supposed to be compatible with the new plan/network.

If you want to risk it you can do what other people report as working for them. Just order the sim (follow the upgrade process) for the new plan and when it asks for a phone select an iPhone. Then when you get the SIM you can follow the normal directions to activate it and it works. (The risk is that it won't work and you won't be helped by them since it's not officially supported. I've seen at least one person reporting that the Mobile Hotspot and Wi-Fi calling didn't work for him after doing this.)

When selecting Iphone it doesn't ask for an IMEI number?

That's my understanding from multiple posts. (If it does ask you can try locating some IMEI of eBay (a lot of sellers list the IMEI for the buyers to be able to check it.)
