Have you done the free trial? That’s a good indicator of service, but the + plan has less throttling of speed when busy.

You would maybe lose some of the Verizon “freebies” but gain a lot of $$ every month. Verizon owns Visible, so you get the same or similar service but no stores or support number to call.

As the previous poster mentioned, you will lose your cell phone iPad service as Visible doesn’t do that…yet.

I have Visible and I do have coverage for my Apple Watch, but yeah, you’d have to use the unlimited hotspot for your iPad. That being said, I use that hotspot for my MacBook from time to time and it’s surprised me with how reliable and fast it is.

Visible doesnt do the ipad with cellular. You'd have to run it off a hotspot. Verizon prepaid does offer tablets as an add on or stabs l stand alone

Bundled pricing $20/mo w/5G ultra wide band, 30GB of hotspot and 1080p streaming

$10/mo w/5G&LTE, 5 GB of hotspot and 720p video

Toss up btwn Natalie and Lucy for me.

Group two actually kind of has weak bone structure

Collecting zyps has become my favorite part of my daily routine

She was absolutely amazing in both seasons...shame that she didn't get recognized :(

I finished it last week, and i'm planning a Rogue One rewatch and probably restarting the series at some point after. Such amazing television

For a franchise show this is really incredible, let alone a STAR WARS SHOW. I’m glad they got at least one win on the main broadcast too. We are really so fortunate to have gotten such an incredible production made by such passionate and outstanding creatives. I would be shocked if we see a Star Wars show even be nominated for an Outstanding Writing Emmy ever again. I’m rooting for that day and I hope Lucasfilm takes the right lessons from Andor.

Yeah it's not buried in lore or references. It stands on its own in a way that none of the other Star Wars television media does.

Andor is the type of backstory I was hoping to get with Solo. I don't hate Solo by any means, but it was filled with attempts to explain everything Han says in the OT. Andor doesn't try to jam those explanations in, Cassian is a badass from the start and they let him be one.

And y’know, mon mothma, which was just an absolute gorgeous piece of casting

The only question I repeatedly got from non-SW fans was what is BBY. The show uses cards like "BBY 5" etc. to mark time - all that means is it takes place 5 years before the Battle of Yavin, ie the end of the original 1977 Star Wars movie.

Diego, Genevieve, Stellan, Denise, and Kyle. There arent enough awards for all of the legendary performances in the show

I’ve been debating this too

Cost of plan goes up BUT hardware is discounted and reading it your locked with them for 36 months but comparing to Xfinity it’s a 24 lock but the trade in is “up to” vs Verizon’s text shows “any condition” you get full rate

• Verizon’s deal on the Apple Watches

Prepaid pros:

• cheap
• apart from E911 all surcharges included
• becomes even cheaper with time via autopay and loyalty discounts
• if on Prepaid Unlimited Plus, same level of prioritized service as Postpaid Unlimited Plus.
• sparse free phone promos still exist, but you have to pay for the phone up front first and get credited later
• no being “locked in” for 3 years—you have to own your phone outright so you can leave whenever, except with those free phone promos which aren’t paid out until the 6th or 12th month of service

Prepaid cons:

• no service retainment up to 30 days past due—if you’re late on payment your line simply shuts off until you pay
• no payment flexibility—no payment arrangements
• no financing your phone
• no insurance options or perks
• all plans besides Prepaid Unlimited Plus are deprioritized service meaning you’re first in line to get throttled
• makes no sense if you have 3-4 people on one account
• practically zero support from stores, and customer service experience isn’t great either

Postpaid pros:

• device financing
• robust promos on phones, watches, tablets
• prioritized service on Unlimited Plus/Ultimate
• Verizon 5G/LTE/Fios Internet $15/mo discount
• Perks for discounted subscription services like Disney, Netflix, Apple Music, Apple One, YouTube Premium, and others
• Insurance options as low as $4.95/mo for tablets and $7.95/mo for phones
• enhanced customer service experience
• flexibility on past due payments, no service suspension until 30 days past due, 60 days past due with a payment arrangement
• when you have 3+ people on the same account, monthly rates are very reasonable

Postpaid cons:

• expensive (for one or two line plans)
• if getting a phone on promo, locked in for 3 years if you truly want that promo paid out in full
• Unlimited Welcome is practically identical to Prepaid Unlimited
• surcharges and taxes are not included in the advertised prices
• AutoPay through checking account or Verizon Credit Card is REQUIRED to get the $10/mo/line discount, no debit cards or “outside” credit cards
• Lots of fees, especially reconnect fees. If you go without paying your bill long enough it’ll incur a reconnect fee per line, including watch lines, tablet lines, and internet lines. If you have a family plan with four phones, two tablets, a watch, and internet, and let your service get suspended, be prepared to pay $160 in reconnect fees alone, on top of late fees.

No partner roaming outside of the native Verizon network or LTEiRA partners on PrePaid. Otherwise there isn't much difference. You can see the coverage difference on this map

Check out visible. I had verizon before and it was like 160 for two phones. Now with pretty much same service on the verizon network I and my wife pay 30 for each of our phones

It’s the same. Except for the perks. You might, might get a bit slower internet but, that’s about it. Oh. Insurance, maybe different type of customer service but, it’s the same great service.

That would depend on how you define better.

While on Verizon I would connect to 5g at my house but switching to visible only let's me connect to 4g for some reason.

No issues domestically. I use my iPhone internationally every year, also the coverage is incredible.

No change in coverage

Domestic roaming is the same across all tiers of Visible, but it is not the same as Verizon. Visible does get LTEiRA, but there are some areas where Verizon has domestic roaming that Visible will not. Check out the Visible coverage map, they call out where they have domestic partnerships, and you can compare that to Verizon if you're curious. Cell Phone Coverage Map: 5G/4G LTE Network | Visible

Visible has unlimited, throttled hotspot data. Verizon prepaid unlimited plans do have different hotspot data caps

I think the Verizon prepaid Unlimited plan is similar to the Visible base plan ($25 regular price). The one you are referring to for $30 for 3 years is probably more like prepaid Unlimited Plus in terms of priority data.

No negatives imo. Visible’s plans are better than VZ prepaid.

Only downside of Visible is each account has to have a unique email, so if you have a family it is a bit harder to manage. I just created an email alias for my son so all of his stuff comes to my account anyway. Best MVNO I have tried, lock in the price and use a friend code to get another $20 off your first month

I am on Visible and personally would recommend over prepaid Verizon due to the free Global Pass days that bank up on your account (of course this would very much depend on how much you travel internationally)

But in terms of domestic use, on visible plus you’d be getting unlimited priority data, Verizon’s unlimited plus only has 50GB of priority data, additional the visible plan has unlimited hotspot of that is something you use

There is a visible difference

I would get the visible annual plan. Its well worth the extra $50 a year

US Mobile has Unlimited Flex plan for $210/yr (taxes and fees included) with 10Gb data a month. You can choose which network you want and switch up to twice free then $2 each additional time.

If you have spectrum I believe they have promo for 1st year of cellular for free after that it’s $30 a month.

USmobile has annual flex plan for $210 a year - unlimited talk, text and 10gb data. They allow you to pick your carrier (Att, T-Mobile or Verizon) https://www.usmobile.com

Spectrum Mobile plans are on a month-to-month basis; they don't offer annual phone plans. Spectrum Mobile would cost you $30 a month per line on their unlimited plan. If you're eligible for the promotion, you can get one line free for a year when bundled with Spectrum internet. As others have mentioned, Visible and US Mobile are good alternatives too.

This is a copy of the OP's original post in case they decide to delete their post/account so that others searching can find it later:

I have been on the Red Pocket CDMAV annual plan the last few years. It costs $220.00 per year and comes with unlimited talk, text, and 8GB data. Visual voice mail is an extra $1 per month, but I don't get it due to the monthly payment hassle. 8GB per month has been fine, but more would be good if not much more expensive.

My time to renew is coming up and I am wondering if I should switch to another Verizon annual prepaid service. Would the Visible $275 per year plan be better? I could also switch to Spectrum, but can't seem to find their annual plan costs.
