Is the coverage area with Visible the same as Verizon?

There is a coverage map for Visible. It should be close to the same coverage. Only difference, from my understanding, would be in an area where there is domestic roaming, Visible doesn't have the same roaming agreements as Verizon does even though they own Visible. So it is possible to hit an area that has no Verizon towers and since they have an agreement with the other two carriers a person on Visible may not have a signal but a person on Verizon will. I think these areas are far and few since I don't see much mention of it.

Yes the majority of people will not miss the lack of coverage in rural areas, but there are some of us who do depend on Verizon system.  In the rural area when you need it you need it.  I carried a satellite phone also for 20 years.  I am disappointed in Visible and will be porting back at the end of the annual contract.  They should say "most of Verizon system".  I think I may try AT&T as I think they have improved there service.   They have 4g in that area.   At the Camp fire they set up a Mobile cell tower on a Peterbuilt truck to help first responders. Dedication behind the scenes.

Not sure why you responded to my reply since it was explained quite clearly. Verizon owns a few different MVNO's and none of them will get the same coverage as the parent company due to my explanation about roaming agreements with the other two carriers. You can have the same issues with an MVNO that is owned by, or operated on AT&T or T-Mobile towers since they won't have agreements in some area with Verizon. 

Thank you for letting us know that you are leaving Visible at the end of your contract. As a customer I certainly won't miss you. Good luck where ever you end up!

No, I travel in the northern California and noticed it did not work in the town of  Leggett , (censored name) rest stops area etc. off of Hwy 101.    I ported several numbers from Verizon.  I think your advertising is misleading and should state "works on most or some parts of Verizon system"  as you stated 4 g not  including have coverage. When you scroll down you can see the pockets of white, (no coverage).   Even AT&T covers these areas.  Will not r-fund on a annual contract.
