Verizon Wireless has the best network covering almost the entire United States and offers fast data download speeds, up to 506 Mbps for 5G customers, and up to 27.4 Mbps for 4G LTE customers as per the latest OpenSignal report. Verizon offers a lot of great perks embedded with its plans but at a price, its plans are not cheaper, but you may get all benefits of a fast Verizon network through Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are basically smaller prepaid carriers that sell their own designed phone plans at cheaper rates but they use a network of major operators like Verizon.
Verizon MVNO’s typically buy talk, text, and data in bulk from Verizon Wireless at a big discount and then resell by designing a customized plan to the consumer at cheaper rates as compared to what Verizon would sell the same service to the consumer.
So let us look at the Best MVNOs that run on Verizon network
Visible
Visible is owned by Verizon but it operates independently and by using the Verizon network offers one truly unlimited data plan only at high speed at just $40 per month for one line, including taxes, and fees. The plan also allows mobile hotspots but at a lesser 5Mbps speed.
Currently Visible has launched a new promo offering this unlimited plan for just $15/mo for the first two months. To avail of this promotional offer, customers need to just use code ‘SUMMER’ in your cart. After two months, the cost of the plan will increase to $40/mo or $25/mo if you have joined the party-pay.
Earlier Visible brought a promo of offering an unlimited plan for just $20/mo for three months by using code 20FOR3.
Visible is very user-friendly and it brought a promotional offer in past also by which it offered the truly unlimited data plan for one month for just $3 to all Americans by using code TRYFOR3.
With Party-pay, you may reduce monthly expenses as low as $25 per month. If you can team up with someone else, maybe with roommates, friends, or work colleagues, then all of you can save $5 cash every month by paying $35 each only. If you add the third member, you can reduce the monthly bills to $30 each. If you can add one more member and form a party of four then all four of you can pay $25 each for a truly unlimited data plan for each, great deal!
With the latest Visible referral service, if you invite your friends to join Visible and they sign up, then your monthly bill drops to $5 in the following month. If your 12 referred friends sign up, then you can enjoy an entire year for $5 per month only.
Earlier with the Visible referral program, you and your friends were getting a $20 Visible promo code for your next monthly bill. For this download the Visible app and follow the below-mentioned steps.
- Copy your unique Visible promo code directly from the homepage of the app and send it to your friends
- You will receive $20 off on your next phone bill once a new account is activated with your promo code
- If more than one person signs up with your promo code, the credits will roll over, up to $240 in savings.
The only issue is with Visible that all plans are available online only and have limited options of smartphone compatibility and you have to watch video streaming in SD only.
