switching from Verizon to visible

[edin8221]

I'm on Verizon's 'Get More' plan ($76, includes satellite messaging) and thinking of switching to Visible's 'Visible+pro' plan. Will Visible provide the same satellite messaging and roaming as my current Verizon plan?

I am unsure about the satellite messaging. I don't think Visible supports it and from a search it seems to only be available on Verizon, T-Mobile, Xfinity and Spectrum. I could be wrong though. Not sure if contacting customer service would help but you could try to chat with them on the website, or send them a message on Facebook, X, Instagram or on their support page on Reddit.

As for domestic roaming it is available on Visible but from my understanding Visible doesn't have or get the same roaming agreements as the parent company, Verizon, does. So, you could be in an area where a phone on Verizon will have reception but Visible won't. Not sure how widespread this is though.

Satellite messaging isn't supported by Visible but if you have the right phone (Pixel 9 for me) you get Satellite SOS from Google that is independent of carrier.

I live in Montana, when Verizon brags that they cover 99% of the population then 1% they don't is here. That said they still have the best coverage in this state and if I am in an area with no coverage nobody else has it either. We switched from Cellular One/AT&T in 2007 because of that, it is still the best here. So "roaming" is not something I have had to concern myself with.
