Interested in Visible, but have a Verzion LVP2 Home Phone device.  Is this device supported?  I can't seem to locate any info on it here.

It goes against Visible's terms and conditions to use the SIM in anything other than a smart phone.

I don't see any text that says that.

Not saying that you're wrong, but I've love to hear why the Verizon device is not supported on the Verizon network, by a company owned/run by Verizon.

Run it's IMEI through the Visible IMEI checker to determine if it's compatible - try the Android path. If not compatible, you wouldn't be able to order the SIM needed for Visible.

 

Long time ago I used to have something similar on StraightTalk - basic home phone (voice only) service. Connected into my home phone wiring for access via all handsets, saved a ton of money each month over standard landline before going exclusively with Smartphone once LTE came to my area. I think StraightTalk may still offer that service.

 

Despite being Visible by Verizon, they are separate business entities.

The wording has been changed but it still says this: Your wireless device must comply with all applicable Federal Communications Commission regulations, be certified for use on the Visible network, and be compatible with your Service. I don't believe that device fits the last two criteria.

 

It has been reworded or updated last year but it has said in the past that the service is intended for use on a smartphone. Besides what @VisiblyPresent said about the IMEI, if it doesn't have one, or has one and doesn't pass the compatibility checker it is considered not compatible with Visible and would then go against the T&C. I am not saying it won't work if you activate the card in a phone then put it in the device but just pointing out it violated the terms.

I punched the IMEI number in, and it is not a compaible device (as you suspected).

Maybe Visible should offer their own device that performs the same (or similar) function.
