Visible’s affordable 5G plans just got even cheaper

Visible has a new offer that can help you save significant money when switching to its service. Both Visible and Visible+ packages are now available for purchase upfront on an annual basis. These new annual plans are available for new Visible customers starting today, while existing customers will gain access to them this May.

With this new deal, the Visible+ plan costs $395 per year when paid upfront instead of $540 when paid in 12 monthly installments of $45 each. This means you can save $145, which is 26%. That’s an incredible savings. When paying upfront for the regular Visible plan, it will cost $275 per year, saving you $25. If you pay for it monthly, the standard Visible plan costs $25 per month (or $300 per year).

The new pricing options give you more savings with a Visible+ plan. That plan offers extras like smartwatch service, unlimited use of your phone as a Wi-Fi connection at twice the speed, and One Global Pass day per month. That pass, announced in March, offers unlimited talk and text services and 2GB of high-speed data for a flat rate of $10 per day in up to 140 countries worldwide.

The Visible+ mobile hotspot feature gives users faster speeds, reaching up to 10Mbps. Visible also announced that it will now include its Connection Protection plan as a standard member feature. This program guarantees that if Visible customers experience layoffs, they will receive service credits of $25 per month for a maximum of three months.

As a mobile network operator, Visible offers unlimited data, messages, and minutes for a flat monthly rate. New Visible customers can bring their current devices or buy new ones from Visible, including popular models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

It’s also worth noting that Visible’s usual monthly rates aren’t going anywhere. If you prefer to pay for your cell service month-to-month, you still have that option. However, if you can foot a larger bill upfront, these new annual plans are absolutely worth considering.

This tiny dongle will change 5G connectivity forever

TCL is having a busy start to 2024. First, it announced a staggering number of new smartphones and two new tablets at CES, and now it’s unveiling something else at MWC 2024 — one of the world’s first 5G dongles that takes advantage of the latest power-efficient 5G standards.

TCL Mobile’s Linkkey IK511 is a pocketable new 5G adapter that’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X35 5G Modem-RF system, which debuted last year as the first 5G modem to support the new NR-Light “RedCap” standard.

T-Mobile just set another 5G speed record

T-Mobile’s rivals may be nipping at its heels in the 5G race, but the Uncarrier is determined to stay ahead of the game. It not only boasts the fastest and most expansive 5G network in the U.S., but it’s actively working on technologies that will help it reach even greater peak speeds.

Two years ago, T-Mobile used a relatively new technique known as 5G Carrier Aggregation (5G CA) to achieve the kind of 3Gbps download speeds on midband frequencies that had previously been the exclusive domain of extremely high (and extremely short-range) mmWave technologies. Now, it’s chalked up another 5G first by taking advantage of the latest developments to shatter the traditional cap on upload speeds over sub-6GHz frequencies.

Verizon just took a huge leap ahead in the 5G race

After a year or two of steady growth in 5G performance among the big three U.S. carriers, things seemed to level off in 2023, with reports showing mostly incremental improvements each quarter.

However, it seems that the underdogs took a big leap forward in the last three months of the year. According to Ookla’s latest market research, Verizon and AT&T showed 5G speed increases of over 20% from the prior quarter — a change that’s resulted in Verizon significantly narrowing T-Mobile’s longstanding lead.
