to the discussion we had prior to the meeting this morning:<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">International service IS available. They support
140 countries!</font></p>
<p>Prior to the meeting, someone was interested in international
travel rates, and it turns out that if you're on the Premium plan
you have access to a global Service that includes 140 countries
and the rate is $10 per day. You can read about all the details on
their website. <br>

<p>Old carrier: Verizon.<br>
New carrier: Visible. (A subsidiary of Verizon)</p>
<p>I was paying approximately $85/month. This came with 2 or 3 GB
data/month.<br>
Using with a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone that was older, and I had no
incentives or offers from Verizon to get a discount on a new
phone.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">My new starting
service rate at Visible when the plan was bundled with the
financing was $37 all in.</span><br>
</p>
<p>I paid full price for the phone, and my monthly payment went from
$85 with Verizon to $37 with Visible. And, my monthly allotment of
data went from<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">
3 GB to unlimited.</span>
<br>
</p>
<p>If you have a qualifying phone, you can bring it to Visible.<br>
</p>
<p>A friend of mine from college told me about his plan with
Visible. At the time the company was offering a party plan and the
more people you had in your party the better your discount. I
joined his party with my own account and got started with a
monthly fee of $25 All In. No additional fees. <br>
</p>
<p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The basic plan
is now $25 for everyone.</span></p>
<p>It looks like they bumped the premium plan to $45. I'm still
paying $35.</p>
<p>If you wish, you can pay annually, and save. <span
style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The monthly rate
averages about $32.</span><br>
</p>
<p>It had unlimited calling and text.<br>
Unlimited data.<br>
Unlimited hotspot capped to make it pretty slow.</p>
<p>I have since upgraded to their Premium plan, which is $35 per
month. Actually, I just checked out their website, and it looks
like it went up to $45, and I'm probably grandfathered in to the
$35 rate.</p>
<p><br>
This includes access to Verizon's higher speed 5G networking that
makes the phone operate faster, and I have a program that I use
that spoofs the hotspot into working pretty close to full speed. I
just got 85 MB down and 10 MB up, which is pretty slow for when I
test it. Sometimes I can get 300 MB down or more.</p>
<p>With the $25 a month plan, I had difficulty streaming live video.<br>
The $35 per month plan does not have this problem.</p>
<p>I purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S21 and financed it for 24
months through their financing company. I'm not sure if they still
offer it but at the time they had a midpoint upgrade plan if you
wanted to up in and what that did for you is allow you to upgrade
after one year to the newer model phone, and they take your old
phone back and pay off the remaining balance of your old phone.
This way, if you want, you can always have every year a brand-new
phone. It's like leasing a car you always have a payment, and you
never own it.</p>
<p>My phone is now several Generations back and paid off.</p>
<p>They only offer one form of communication for sales and technical
support and that is a chat session either through their mobile app
or website. There are no phone numbers to call and talk to a human
being. In three plus years, I have not found this to be a problem.</p>
<p>On the day that I signed up and purchased the new phone, they
sent me in the mail overnight delivery the brand-new phone along
with a Sim chip that I needed to install. I Then followed the
default Samsung process to migrate from my old phone to my new
phone. Samsung provides with all of their Galaxy phones a really
nice built-in upgrade tool that moves pretty much everything on
your old phone to your new phone and even creates folders with
apps in them.</p>
<p>My phone is stock Samsung with no extra carrier software.<br>
</p>
<p>I contacted Verizon and got a release code for my service that I
provided to visible and after my new phone was configured I ran
their app and told it I was ready and about 45 minutes later my
new phone was active and the old phone was deactivated.</p>
<p>Verizon sent me a prorated bill for the month that ended on the
day that the service got transferred to visible.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">They have a
referral program, so if any of you decide to enroll, I can give
you a code that will give both of us a discount for one month.</span></p>
<p>Visible supports the Apple Watch with LTE, unfortunately I can't
say the same for the Samsung watch that I own.</p>
<p>If you go to their website, <a href="https://visible.com"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://visible.com</a> you can
check out everything and for those of you who are curious about
international service you can read about the differences between
the two plans. <br>
