Switched from Verizon today to Visible + plan simply because I got tired of spending $80 a month when I could get basically the exact same service for less than half of that with the same company. So far everything seems fine and it seems like the exact same service I had with regular Verizon.
Activation was relatively simple and they walk you through it, but there was one small hiccup in the process that I would recommend Visible looks into altering. It wasn’t until AFTER I was instructed to remove my Verizon Sim card, my Visible eSIM was installed and my new Visible phone service activated that I was asked if I wanted to port my old number. I of course, said yes. I was only then given instructions that I would need a port pin from Verizon in order to do that. Well, in order to get the port pin from Verizon I needed to reinstall my old Sim card in order to contact Verizon to verify who I was from my phone to get the port pin. Once I did that my Visible service stopped working, and I wound up through trial and error having to re-download a new eSIM.
Long story short, I was able to fix the problem after a good 30 minute panick session, but I would recommend that PRIOR to instructing customers to remove their old Sim card that they are told and instructed at the BEGINNING of the process and BEFORE activating the new service that a port pin needs to be requested from their current/ old carrier. That would help avoid the problem I encountered today. Simply ask the customer before activating if they want to port their old number and tell them they will need to contact their previous carrier and get a pin. Other than that it was pretty easy.
So if you’re reading this and thinking about transferring your phone to Visible, just know…. request a port pin before starting so you have the information ready.
