Horrible iPhone 14 Pro experience with Visible. Here's what I did and now my old iPhone 12 Pro can't connect to cellular. How can I get this fixed???
I sat on the chat queue for over an hour with no luck there. Messages sent on Facebook Messenger 3+ hours ago a zero response. I'm so screwed; I need cellular coverage.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Holy smokes. I got into chat and my iPhone 14 Pro actually works now. Here's what I did:
For my wife's phone they told me to do this. I assume this is the correct order of events, but haven't tried it yet.

Literally, the same thing is happening to me right now. AWFUL customer service.
โ09-17-2022 05:00 AM
I'm getting desperate. In case anyone else is too, here are links to other plans:
None of them are the bargain of Visible with Party Pay, but I'm assuming they work.
Has anyone seen reports about porting a number away from Visible? I'm wondering if they've screwed that up too.

Any update on your end?

I just got a reply on Facebook Messenger asking for my full name and email. I sent that and now... nothing. I assume I'll wait another 12 hours for the next agent to ask an equally basic and unhelpful question.... At this point, I'm considering biting the bullet and just walking into the Verizon store and paying 3x for a monthly service that works. this sucks.

I have the same problem also, and I have been unable to reach customer support.
โ09-17-2022 12:42 AM
OMG. This is happening to me too. Tried to transfer a eSim to iPhone 14 but no luck. Now, my old iPhone 12 lost the cellular service. Help!!!!

Same issue here. Literally nothing from Visible. The โsolutionโ on this thread might be valid but you canโt even get in touch with this awful customer service.
waited 6+hours last night and now have been waiting 5+ today with no help.

Both my two iphone14 pros failed to activate the esim card, contact customer service to wait more than three hours, can't solve the problem, their engineers screwed up

Success! That process actually worked 1st time on my wife's phone. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes and connected to the network right away.
I mean... it if were that easy, you'd think Visible might create a knowledge article and have it up front everywhere.
โ09-17-2022 04:18 PM
Did you have to give Visible CS the IMEI of your wifeโs iPhone 14 FIRST to make the experience a success?
โ09-18-2022 11:56 AM
No, I don't think I needed the new IMEI #, but don't quote me on that. Good luck!
โ09-18-2022 12:02 PM
I have since successfully migrated from an iPhone 7 us to a 14 PM. It was surprisingly a very smooth operation. I read a lot of threads here and other Apple centric boards. I did my research, in other words.
Thx fir the reply!

i don't see an option anywhere to Transfer the SIM within the app. downloaded Visible on my new iPhone, signed in. Nothing.

Old IMEI news to be replaced by new IMEI on their end.
โ09-17-2022 07:52 PM
For a lot of us, the problem is connecting to customer service. If you had an eSim in your old phone, there is no option to "Transfer sim" in the app in the new phone, no matter how many times you erase and re-install the app in the new phone. The app just "reads" whatever info they have on their end, and it is telling you that your account is already using an eSim. Therefore, they need to earse it from their dBs so it shows up as an option in your new device.
โ09-17-2022 08:02 AM
Where is the "Transfer your SIM" button in the app? I don't see it anywhere.
โ09-17-2022 08:44 AM
Visible app > Account > Your devices > Transfer your SIM
โ09-17-2022 09:12 AM
Darn, I don't have that. Maybe because I'm transferring from eSIM to eSIM?
โ09-18-2022 04:46 AM
Exactly what I am finding. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the link --BUT, it's not there!

Just adding to the fact that the radio silence on this issue is surreal. At least a tweet saying something like 'our systems are overwhelmed and we estimate 8 hours to reach a CS rep" would be great. Hope their management and board sees this... big fail in terms of preparedness.

Just adding to the fact that the radio silence from Visible on this issue is surreal. At least a tweet saying something like 'our systems are overwhelmed and we estimate X hours to reach a CS rep" would be great. Hope their management and board sees this... big fail in terms of preparedness, customer letdown, and loyalty. Can't tell you how many of my friends are complaining to ME because I got them into Visible in the first place.

Got same problem. Already cost me 20 hours to wait for chat! even didn't sleep well last night! wake up every 20 minutes just want to see the waiting list is still there.
Who can help!
โ09-17-2022 10:30 AM
now, finally, I am the number one on the waiting list, but 30 mins passed and still waiting for connecting!
โ09-17-2022 10:33 AM
Wow, I'm impressed you made it to #1. I can't even get it to show me that I'm in line and have a number. Even waiting on multiple devices....Nothingggggg
โ09-17-2022 10:43 AM
but 40 mins passed, nothing happened! I am still waiting. So, I guess that's another system error.
โ09-17-2022 10:48 AM
I also tried send private message on twitter. em.... still waiting too...

To everyone in this thread:
Did you update your iOS to 16.01 before you attempted to activate?
โ09-18-2022 11:54 AM
Yes
โ09-17-2022 04:07 PM
Why do I automatically log out of the waiting queue when I talk to customer service?

ACTIVATED MY IPHONE 14 PRO MAX IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES!
I'll try to give you as much details as I can so you are not lost.
Today I got my glorious iPhone 14 Pro Max and I traded my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I didn't switch the SIM card to the eSIM so when I got my phone I didn't have service.
Like most of you I tried the Tech support message for hours, getting disconnected after awhile. So, I tried the app. When you open the app there are like two rectangles, one of them it's about transferring the SIM card to the eSim. I started it and at one point it will tell you that it will send a code to your phone number via message (of course I didn't get it because I didn't have service on the number) eventually I got an email and in it was the code I needed. After putting the code on the app, just follow the several messages you will get, just say yes and then it will restore your service again. No need to contact tech support unless my method doesn't work. Just keep checking the email you have in your account for the code you will need to continue with the transfer.
I hope this can help some of you. It is frustating to be without phone.
One more thing:
I notice after I got the service, that the 5G is not as fast as I thought it will be. My plan is the regular plan, not the ultra wide or whatever they call it but still. On my iPhone 11 on LTE I was getting around 128 mbps download and now I get a little over that. I was told by a representative from Visible and I google it too, that it should be like 10 times faster...so I should be like a gigabyte or close to it not 159 Mbps so I don't know what's wrong. I live in one of the biggest metropolitan area so the connection should be solid. Does anyone notice a problem with the speed of 5G?
โ09-18-2022 04:53 AM
I do not see any online instructions to transfer my SIM. (Visible states that there are directions on the new instructions posted today.) I also don't see two rectangles. I do not seem to be able to transfer my pSIM in my 12 to my eSIM in my 14. Any thoughts?
โ09-18-2022 12:34 PM
My friend had an interesting thing with us mobile, he switched to iphone 13 month ago and he gave the IMEI number for a us mobile agent and the agent manually activated the phone he didn't have to scan a QR code or download any app or download the eSIM, he just needed Wi-Fi connection
โ09-19-2022 11:51 PM
Yesterday, with the help of customer service, I successfully activated the esim cards of two iPhone14 pro. The first customer service told me that I must provide imei2. During the conversation with the second customer service, I provided imei2, but he asked me for imei1.
โ09-19-2022 11:55 PM
How did you even get in contact with customer service? No one answers on the chat or facebook
โ09-19-2022 11:58 PM
Visible website online customer service, you need patience and a little luck,
