So, if I'm understanding you, you currently have 2 Verizon plans, but you'll probably end up with just one Verizon plan -- the Visible one, right?
That's the plan... We'll save $40/month as long as Visible's "Party Pay" stays fully in effect.
The new Party Pay is super cool! Our bill actually dropped down to $5/month as we had 12 months of referral credits stacked up.
That said, before considering Visible as a primary internet connection - do know there are some limitations besides the 5 Mbps mobile hotspot speed cap and 1 device limitation (this is not currently reliably enforced):
- Only includes Verizon's LTE native towers (no roam, no 3G)
- Higher ping times
- Lower priority on the network
Aside from our coverage of Party Pay linked above (thanks - super appreciate our content being shared) - we also have a full free public review of Visible, including some head to head speed test results against other Verizon based plans:

I just had an unbelievable "chat" with two different Visible representatives after missing 3 calls from my auto repair shop today. The shop reported getting "out of service" messages instead of the call going through or getting routed to voicemail.
Both representatives confirmed this is normal behavior. I even waited through the Chat queue a second time to see if I got the same answer because this seems so preposterous.
If the phone gets de-prioritized due to tower congestion Visible doesn't roll over incoming calls to voicemail, they just report the phone as unreachable. Both representatives said the same thing happens if your phone is off or outside the coverage area. In other words, voicemail is only active while your phone is connected to an uncongested tower.
No notification is given about the missed calls, they just vanish into the ether.
I've never experienced this from any other cell carrier, and IMO this is eliminates Visible as a viable provider. They only provide service when they feel like it? No thanks. Maybe I'll keep it strictly as a backup hotspot, but at twice the cost of my AT&T Mobley I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

That's good to know, Lou. I'm only using my Visible service for data, and at $25/mo with the Party Pay incentive, it works well as a backup to my AT&T Connected Car Plan. I have no intentions of using it for voice or text service other than as a temporary backup if one of our other phones fails. Even then I would likely only use it for WiFi calls.
