Is Visible Plus Pro worth the extra $10 a month?
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I've been a big Visible fan for years. While it's not the only carrier I use, it's definitely the one I most often come back to. I'm also not the only one in our staff who favors it, as Joe Maring recently left T-Mobile for Visible. There's a lot to like about Visible, and it only continues to get better. Earlier this spring, the Verizon-owned brand announced a new plan: the confusingly named Visible Plus Pro. Naming aside, I signed up to give it a try and see how it compares to the other tiers. I planned to dive deep and give it a full review. Coming from Visible Plus, I was mostly excited about the promise of truly unlimited data with no premium data caps. As it turns out, Visible Plus also received this upgrade. Previously, Visible Plus would limit your premium data before dropping you to lower priority speeds. With that cap now gone, there's honestly not much separating Visible Plus Pro from Visible Plus. After about a month, I switched my line back to Visible Plus. Bottom line: I just didn't see enough added value in Visible Plus Pro to justify the extra $10 a month. In terms of speeds and everyday service quality, the two plans feel identical. That said, there are still a few scenarios where the Pro tier makes sense. If you're considering Visible Plus Pro, I'd only recommend it if these extra features matter to you: 4K UHD streaming out of the box (while possible on any plan with a VPN, it's a gray area at best) Hotspot speeds bumped up from 10 Mbps to 15 Mbps, with no cap International texting to over 200 countries and calling to 85 countries included Two days of Global Pass travel data per billing cycle (bank up to 12 days) Free smartwatch connectivity (Pixel Watch or Apple Watch), which costs $10/month extra on Visible Plus Visible Plus Pro is really aimed at people who travel often, both in the US and internationally. It's also the best pick if you want to use a compatible smartwatch on Visible's network, since the added cost for the watch makes the total price the same as Pro — so you might as well get the extra perks included here as well. If either of those scenarios fits your needs, upgrading to Pro is worth it. For everyone else, Visible Plus remains the sweet spot. You'll still get international features, faster speeds, and better prioritization than Visible Basic, while paying much less than any of the big three postpaid carriers.

Aiming to simplify and reduce the costs of mobile connectivity, Visible by Verizon is a simplified carrier that offers limited plans, no hidden fees, and connectivity to the Verizon network.

Pixel Watch fans can now activate their cellular watches on Visible's prepaid network
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Visible is finally adding support for the cellular version of the Pixel Watch 2 or newer. The carrier will not sell the watch directly, but you will be able to easily bring your own. Watch support requires Visible Plus Pro, or a $10 add-on for Basic and Plus subscribers. US consumers were previously fairly limited if they were a fan of the Google Pixel Watch and preferred a cellular model. While all three major postpaid carriers fully supported it, only a few prepaid brands did, including US Mobile and Google Fi. Now you can add one more to the list, as Visible has officially announced support for the Pixel Watch 2 or newer. Visible has long supported the Apple Watch, so this change is welcome news for Pixel Watch fans seeking additional prepaid choices. In fact, Visible frequently ranks as my top recommendation among all carriers. o use your Google Pixel Watch with Visible, you'll need to subscribe to Visible Plus Pro for $40 per month or pay an additional $10 per month to add smartwatch support to either Visible Plus or Basic plans. While Visible doesn't sell the Google Pixel Watch directly, it makes it easy to bring your own device. While it's great that Visible has expanded beyond Apple Watch compatibility, I am curious why the Samsung Galaxy Watch family wasn't included. After all, both are popular Android-based options that could help attract a wider customer base. Nonetheless, Visible's ongoing expansion of device compatibility is a positive step, and hopefully, its smartwatch support will eventually match the extensive range available directly from Verizon.

You can currently get Visible for as little as $20 a month, but only while this promo lasts
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Right now, you can get $5 off a month for a year if you sign up for any Visible plan, bringing the starting costs down to just $20 a month. Visible works on Verizon's network and provides a similar experience to postpaid in terms of download speeds, latency, and network performance. The deal is for new customers only, but doesn't require an annual plan or any other hoops beyond adding the SAVE5 code. Visible is easily one of my favorite prepaid brands. In fact, alongside Google Fi, I tend to recommend Visible more than any other company out there. There are many reasons why I champion Visible more than most other brands, but it's mostly down to the fact that you get great pricing for truly unlimited data that's prioritized better than entry-level Verizon postpaid service. Starting at $25, it was already a steal, but right now, Visible is offering an extra $5 per month off on all three of its plans for an entire year. To be fair, Visible runs promotions like this fairly often, but its previous offer didn't apply to Visible Basic, only to the two Plus tier plans. The new SAVE5 code will let you lock in a rate that's $5 cheaper each month for an entire year, regardless of which plan you choose. For those that need a reminder, Visible normally charges $25 for Visible Basic, $35 for Visible Plus, and $45 a month for Visible Plus Pro. I already mentioned that the main benefit of Visible is that it is highly affordable and yet it gives you prioritized, truly unlimited data, which means you can use 100GB or more and typically never face any real slowdowns or other issues. Of course, there are a few other reasons, including some decent new customer phone promotions and solid international perks in its Plus tier plans. There are also some minor downsides, including limited (and online only) customer service, which makes the carrier a better fit for someone who doesn't mind getting their hands dirty a bit when it comes to solving issues. If you need handholding, Visible might be less ideal unless you have a friend or family member who is willing to help. Not sure if Visible is right for you?
