How Visible Base Scores
We scored Visible Base against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: The All-In Benchmark
Visible Base is $25/mo all-in — taxes and fees are included, so the advertised price is the price you pay. No contract, no credit check, no autopay requirement.
It's the number every cheap unlimited plan gets measured against. Same-price rivals like Kroger cap data or add taxes on top; the step up to Visible+ ($35) buys priority data, 5G Ultra Wideband, and a faster 10 Mbps hotspot.

Final Verdict
Visible Base is the value benchmark of the whole cheap-unlimited category: unlimited data on Verizon's network for $25 all-in, with an unlimited 5 Mbps hotspot and a genuine 15-day free trial — no contract, no credit check, no fine print. The trade-off is deprioritized data that slows in congestion and app-only support, which is why heavier users step up to Visible+ for priority and UWB. But for most people who want the cheapest legitimate unlimited plan on a top network, this is the one to beat.
See plan details →Frequently asked questions
Is Visible Base really $25 all-in?
Yes — taxes and fees are included in the $25. There's no contract, no credit check, and no separate autopay requirement to hit that price.
What network does Visible use?
Verizon. Visible is owned by Verizon and runs on its 5G and 4G LTE network. Base data is deprioritized behind Verizon postpaid and Visible+ during congestion.
How is Base different from Visible+?
Visible+ ($35) adds priority data, 5G Ultra Wideband, a faster 10 Mbps hotspot, and better international features. Base is the cheaper, deprioritized tier.
Does Visible Base include a hotspot?
Yes — unlimited mobile hotspot capped at 5 Mbps. That's fine for browsing and email but slow for HD streaming or heavy tethering.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — a 15-day free trial lets you test Verizon's network on your phone (via eSIM) before porting your number, risk-free.
Is there a contract or credit check?
No — month-to-month, no credit check, cancel anytime in the app. Support is app-based; there are no retail stores.
