Visible Plus is one of the best cheap cell phone plans – and it just got better
The Visible Wireless Plus plan was already one of the best cheap cell phone plans money could buy, but it’s now even more affordable thanks to a host of excellent new features.
The Visible Plus subscription still costs $45/month, but it now includes more generous mobile hotspot speeds, a free extra line for a smartwatch, and one free global pass per month. All the major selling points of the past are still there, namely the 50 GB of premium data on parent company Verizon’s 5G Ultraband network.
Combined, you now get postpaid benefits for a prepaid price with the Visible Plus plan. While it’s not the cheapest unlimited data plan on the market right now, it’s certainly one of the most functional for the price and a good choice for a heavy user looking to save some money. By comparison, the Verizon Welcome Unlimited plan currently offers similar benefits, but costs a hefty $65 per month for a single line — and you also have to sign up for a contract, unlike Visible.
Visible Plus new features
How does Visible perform compared to the competition?
Pretty good at the moment – especially as the Visible offers two very strong unlimited data plans at an excellent price. For example, if the Visible Plus plan is out of your price range, you can opt for the standard Visible plan for $25 per month. The Standard plan still includes completely unlimited data and free mobile hotspots, although you’ll get slower speeds overall.
However, there are currently other options. Mint Mobile is one of the most popular prepaid plans on the market today, offering a great unlimited data plan on the wider T-Mobile network for $30 per month. You’ll have to pay for a full year of service up front to get the cheapest rates with Mint, but it’s a fantastic choice if you get the best local coverage with T-Mobile (Visible uses the Verizon network).
Another good option to consider is US Mobile. This carrier recently launched three tiers of unlimited prepaid plans, the cheapest of which starts at an almost unbelievable $15/month. The cheap ‘Unlimited Flex’ plan is extremely stripped down in terms of features, but the ‘Unlimited Premium’ plan, which costs $37.50 per month, is about the same as the Visible Plus plan. However, you must pay for a full year of service up front to get the lowest price, just like with Mint Mobile.
