Hey! So I'm looking to switch over, but I'm going to do the free trial first. If Visible doesn't end up working for my location, is it difficult to switch back over to my previous carrier? I know I have to get a new phone number for the trial, so I want to make sure that it isn't going to mess up my current phone if I do have to go back and forth.

You don't actually switch to Visible for the trial, you get a new number and you use that for the 15 day trial. This should have no effect on you current carrier as long as you don't cancel that service with that carrier during this free trial period. You only need to switch to the eSIM for Visible if it doesn't work for you then switch back to your other SIM at any time.

Don't port your number for the free trial, use a number Visible provides. If you are happy with the service port your number when the trial ends.

I understand that, but if visible doesn't work for me, is it difficult to go back to my former carrier?

Don't port your number until you are sure it is a good fit. It is very easy to port away from Visible using the Visible app to get a port out code.

After the 15 day trial can you keep your temp number and port your old number when you're ready?

After the 15 day trial can you keep the temp number and port your old number when you decide to transfer? Basically is there a time limit for temp number?

Yes you can signup for service and keep the trial number. Later on you can port your exiting number over to Visible but must keep your current carriers service active until the port is completed. With an eSIM you can port using the app as I recall.
