https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/10/verizon-stealthily-launched-a-startup-offering-40-per-month-unlimited-data-messaging-and-minutes/

$40 per month unlimited everything.

Officially invite only by other members but if you Google "visible invite code" they have paid Google ads with a code in the link, if u click, it will autofill a code..

Not necessarily the best plan but if you want "early access" then here you have it

Throttled speed capped at 5MBPS.

Has anyone tried out www.visible.com?

$40 a month (taxes and fees included) for unlimited voice, text, data and hotspot
It's a Verizion MVNO, but throttled to 5Mbps, video @480p, and has lower priority when the Verizon network is congested

For now it only works with iPhones 6 and above (except for 7plus). Android "coming soon"
Still in "early access" mode, so you need an invite to apply

Seems like it was started by Verizon itself.

Looking to hear someones experiences before jumping in.

I'm looking into this now, did you get it in the end or hear how it's worked for other people?

It drops calls a lot. It may not be worth the savings.
The other features usually work well .

If it's dropping calls I don't think regular Verizon would work for you either. It's most probably related to the 3g network problems.

Where are you using your phone, I am in Lakewood?
Do you have issues with verizon in general in your area or is it specifically this service?

It is dropping calls all over the tri state for me . Nothing to do with Lakewood!

@doodle @mnkyz Any update on the service? Should this be any better/worse than other MNVO's on the Verizon network? Is Verizon prepaid better/worse? I would be using primarily on 08701...

Do you have experience in 08701 specifically? Any experience how they compare to other MNVO's or Verizon prepaid?

What information is shared if someone starts a "party pay" plan?

ExGingi · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2020, 11:06:00 AM »

Sounds like an interesting alternative to AT&T'S Cricket that has similar pricing.

You're throwing a party? I'm testing now Visible for myself and would want to join such a party.

cozmohoot · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2020, 10:18:15 PM »

There's a reddit thread for joining party pay
