Mobile hot spots

For those wondering about the Visible Party Plan and getting into group with strangers, note that each member has their own account and gets their own bill. The other members of the group only get to see your first name, area code, and the last 4 digits of your phone number. A week or so ago, I got two emails from Visible within an hour, one letting me know that someone had dropped out of my group, and the second one letting me know that a new member had joined the group, keeping my bill at $25.

We've been using a Visible R2 as a hotspot for a couple of months now, and with the Party Plan we're only paying $25/mo. I have the R2 tethered to a Pepwave router that lets us connect all of our devices as needed without being restricted by Visible's one device limit. We've found the 5 Mbps hotspot speed limit to be adequate for streaming most of the time, and general surfing all of the time. We also have a grandfathered $20/mo unlimited AT&T plan that does not have the speed restriction. Both plans are unlimited with no throttling, although both plans are subject to speed reductions on congested towers only for the duration of the usually brief congestion.

Thank you, I got into a group...I just wasn't sure I was doing it right over on that Website.

If you need Visible Party members for your group or to join a party, simply go here:

I switched my wife and my son to Visible (my wife in October and my son in November). My son, is 20 and chews through data like there is no tomorrow - hasn't complained yet.

My wife is a facebook/instagram (my daughters post all the time).

excluding the onboarding process with visible, i like it.

We just drove to LA from Denver - and I have Verizon for work. There were a few areas where I had coverage and she didn't (even though Visible is an MVNO of Verizon) - but they were few and far between and we were somewhere between denver and santa fe.

Well I just signed up for Visible and I'm looking for some Party People, (to join my Party) at "RVNTime" on the Visible Web site.....so if you don't have 4 on your own, come on over!!! :-)

docsouce, let me know how that works out for you. We get 8gb for a two week trip and come home with little, if any, data left. But, the DW is a FaceBook junkie and post pics daily. I, like you, check email and future sites/campgrounds, etc.
We to are looking for a decent deal on data.

This is a real good suggestion. Picking up a $20 phone and then using the 1g service sounds like it would work for me. I have no idea how much data I use when I'm on the road but I suspect it isn't much. About all I do is check out interesting things to do and see along my route for the day. Check out email once or twice per week, and visit this and a couple of other web sites daily. Search for campgrounds ahead. No youtube, movies or Facebook type of stuff. Mostly use Google maps.

I pay $25 a month now... happy.

Does anyone know if you can have more than four members join your party?

Party Pay can have no more than four members. This brings the monthly payment down to $25 which includes all taxes and fees. I've been on the plan for a month. Your account remains private. Anybody can join the plan.
