Visible after the first year: $19 becomes $25, and Visible+ Pro's annual deal doubles

Published September 22, 2026

No link on this page pays me. How the site makes money

Visible’s monthly plans are $6 off for a new member’s first year with code SAVE6, so the $19 base plan becomes $25, $29 becomes $35 and $39 becomes $45. Visible+ Pro’s annual plan is half price for the first year, $225, then $450. Separately, the base $25 plan has no priority data at all. I’m not a Visible customer; this is their plan page read on September 22, 2026.

What does Visible cost after the first year?

Whether monthly or annual is cheaper over one, two and three years is worked out on Visible monthly vs annual.

Visible discounts new members for twelve months, in two different ways depending on how you pay.

Monthly plans carry a $6/mo new-member discount with code SAVE6, good for twelve months: $19 instead of $25, $29 instead of $35, $39 instead of $45. Visible pairs it with a one-year rate guarantee.

Annual, where only Visible+ Pro has a first-year price, and the gap is widest:

What does Visible cost after the first year
Plan First year After Effective jump
Visible $275 $275 none
Visible+ $375 $375 none
Visible+ Pro $225 $450 +$18.75/mo

As advertised, that’s a bigger monthly jump than Mint Unlimited’s $15. But Visible’s price includes tax and Mint’s doesn’t, and at this site’s 18% tax estimate Mint’s jump comes out at $17.70, just under Visible+ Pro’s. In a state with higher wireless taxes, it can pass it. Xfinity and Spectrum jump by $30, and both require their home internet. A new member pays $225 for a year of Visible+ Pro and $450 for the second, the same doubling Mint does, further up the price ladder.

The Pro deal uses a different code, SAVEHALF, and Visible shows it with an “Offer ends in” countdown. Read on September 22, the countdown said the offer ends September 30, 2026; after that, this site stops quoting the $225.

Does the $25 Visible plan have priority data?

The base $25 Visible plan has no premium data at all.

Where other carriers state a priority allotment, Visible’s base plan states none. Mint’s Unlimited states 50 GB. Visible’s $25 plan gives zero, so you’re subject to slowdown whenever Verizon’s network is congested, from your first megabyte. (Several plans in the calculator don’t publish a figure either way, so this isn’t a claim about all of them.)

In practice this depends entirely on where and when you use your phone. A quiet suburb and a dense city at 6pm are different cases, and a plan page can’t tell you which you’ll get. It isn’t a hidden term, it’s in Visible’s own plan comparison, but “unlimited data on Verizon’s network for $25” and “unlimited deprioritized data on Verizon’s network for $25” are not the same product and only one of them fits in an ad.

Visible+ at $35 fixes it with unlimited premium data on 5G Ultra Wideband. That’s the plan most people comparing against Mint or US Mobile should actually be pricing.

What does Visible do well?

  • Taxes are included. Visible’s $25 is $25. Mint’s and Tello’s prices are before tax, which makes Visible more competitive than a raw table suggests.
  • It’s Verizon, run by Verizon. Not an MVNO renting access at arm’s length.
  • Month to month. No prepaid block to forfeit, unlike Mint.
  • Mexico and Canada are included on Visible+ and Visible+ Pro. On the base plan they’re a $5-a-day pass.
  • Global Pass days are included on Visible+ and Pro. Monthly members bank up to 12 unused days; annual members get 12 or 24 days upfront.

That last one cuts against the obvious criticism: Visible’s per-day roaming is expensive at $10, but a member with included or banked days isn’t paying it. The roaming page has the detail.

Where can you go instead and keep Verizon’s network?

Every plan on Verizon’s network, ranked at the price after any intro ends, is on the Verizon network page. The short version:

Staying on Verizon’s network:

  • Total Wireless is Verizon’s own prepaid brand. Bring-your-own-phone is $25/mo with AutoPay, taxes included, with a five-year guarantee on the rate before discounts (Total says it doesn’t cover the AutoPay discount). On that plan extra lines don’t get cheaper per line: two lines are $55 and four are $105, which is more than four Visible lines at $100. New customers are offered less for now: $30 for the first month, then $20 a month with AutoPay, and Total gives no end date for the $20.
  • US Mobile on Warp is Verizon. Unlimited Starter is about $22.50/mo with taxes included, and the line can move to T-Mobile or AT&T later without changing carriers.

Leaving Verizon’s network entirely:

  • Tello at $25/mo on T-Mobile, month to month, no intro price to expire, 50 GB at full speed.

What should you check before leaving Visible?

  • Work out which plan you’re actually comparing. If the $25 base plan’s deprioritization has been bothering you, compare against Visible+ at $35, not against $25.
  • Check where you are in the twelve months. The discount runs out on a date; know it before you renew.
  • Count your banked Global Pass days. Leaving forfeits them, and on Visible+ Pro that could be a dozen days of international service.
  • Taxes. Visible includes them, and so do Total Wireless and US Mobile. Tello and Mint don’t, so compare those on an after-tax basis.

Prices read off visible.com/plans and visible.com/globalpass on September 22, 2026. A script checks their plan page daily and the log records the day anything moves.

Questions people ask

Why did my Visible annual plan price double?

New members get a discounted first year. Visible+ Pro's annual is $225 for year one and $450 after, and the monthly plans carry a $6/mo new-member discount that also runs out after twelve months.

Does the $25 Visible plan have priority data?

No. The base plan has no premium data allotment, so it can be deprioritized whenever Verizon's network is busy. Visible+ and Visible+ Pro include unlimited premium data on 5G Ultra Wideband.

What runs on Verizon's network besides Visible?

Total Wireless is Verizon's own prepaid brand and US Mobile's Warp network is Verizon. Verizon postpaid itself is the expensive option, and its advertised price requires a switch discount you can only claim once.
