Unlimited for less
Visible is a prepaid carrier from Verizon that offers a single unlimited plan with hotspot data at 5Mbps. While that plan starts at $40 per month, signing up with Visible Party Pay can take that price down to $25 per month. Visible lacks roaming, however, so some rural areas will have less coverage.

With Party Pay, Visible is one of the cheapest ways to get any service on Verizon’s network. To add to that, Visible’s unlimited data has no high-speed cap like competing carriers using the T-Mobile network. As we found in our Visible review, speeds were more often than not adequate for most smartphone usage.
Verizon Prepaid, on the other hand, sticks to a more traditional plan layout ,with improved rural coverage thanks to 3G and roaming compatibility. Still, for most people, Visible makes more sense for the money.
