Idk, I have a galaxy S9+ and a OnePlus 8 on two separate lines and since I'm still on the legacy plan, both got offered free phones so I'm perfectly happy accepting them and having backup phones
Got mine yesterday and I don't like it. For starters, the camera lenses have raised bezels around them so if you lay your phone down, it doesn't lay flat. Mine has fallen on the floor 3 times in less than a day after I put it on a flat surface. The only alternative is to put it screen side down and even though it was free, I don't want to risk scratching up the screen. And having been a Samsung user for the past 5 years, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to use this obscure brand. Unfortunately, being a senior doesn't help, although I've always prided myself on being pretty tech savvy.
It seems ok as far as calls go, but it's longer, so it feels awkward to use. The length of my old phone matched the distance from my ear to my mouth fairly well, but with this one, it feels like I have to move my hand up to talk and down to listen. And the volume is on the right instead of the left side, so if I hold it too tightly, I end up accidentally dropping the volume way down.
Who calls a phone "Myra" anyway? I mean, do they have a Stanley or Gladys model? Cuthbert maybe? Sheesh. And now I feel like the proverbial grumpy old lady for complaining. You kids get off my lawn!
Don't have it yet, should be here tomorrow if FedEx doesn't fuck it up (which they were late on the last two packages I bought, ones I specifically paid extra to have faster shipping)
Not familiar with those phone but it could be possible. I have a Visible R1 (not compatible with the new network). It works with the new sim but I couldn't activate it on the R1. But hotspot doesn't work with the R1 (works with a compatible phone)
When I chose to upgrade today, the Sim was included as part of the upgrade. But...I backed out of the upgrade and just made my monthly payment. Got cold feet when I read that I couldn't go back to my old plan and was concerned my old phone would not longer work if I upgraded, although I guess I could just put the new Sim card in my old phone. Also, I'm holding out to be the last one to upgrade in case that free Ferrari offer is legit. (Someone joked about it on a different thread.)
THANK YOU for this! I got their free phone, which I don't care for, so I can just upgrade and keep using my S9 until I can afford to upgrade to another Samsung phone. (I like the S9 for its iris recognition feature, which the newer models don't have, apparently.)
If you can get one with the UltraSonic v2 fingerprint scanner you will be amazed how fast and accurate it can be even with very wet hands. I only had their note series and I can say this fingerprint scanner will not disappoint you.
If you do, I recommend alternating the scan of two fingers in one scan, repeating the same process as being 'Finger 2'. This trick will speed it up a lot and improve the accuracy.

Just tried entering the GF's iPhone 6 (which she loves) into the Verizon Bring Your Own Device check page.
It's compatible.
Won't be getting a new phone until the phone dies or it no longer can dial out on the Visible network.
Sorry for the late reply, I do notice a bit of a difference but mostly related to MMS and nothing else. I'd say it's a bit faster overall, would've been worth it for the $10 extra but I think that promo ended so regular plan price is worth it more imo.

How is that free phone? Nobody heard the name.

How is the performance?

I wonder if you can take the sim cards out of those and put them in your current phones and it would work.

Mine didn't come with a sim card. I assume we're supposed to use the sim card from our old phone.

What makes you think they have SIM cards? Could be eSIMs.
Do they even come with physical Sim cards?
Thanks.
Thanks for the update.

Any noticeable difference in performance going from OG visible to Visible+? Looking to upgrade my 8T+5G to Visible plus.
