    My phone recently broke and was ************ 1 I was unable to log onto the visible portal as I kept getting account information errors. I contacted visible Customer ********************** chat and was told my old email address was on the account. I requested the email address be changed or a password reset be sent to my new email as the old email address was not active. I was told for security reasons this could not be done. I was then ask for the **** of the old and new phone, the last four numbers of the credit card I use to pay my bill, a list of three of the most recent phone numbers I used. I provided this information and was told an email would be sent to my new email address with account reset information in the next 30 minutes to an ******** 2 I did not receive an email from visible. I again contacted visible Customer ********************** chat and provided all the same information a second time. I was told I needed to remember the original email and was ask if my old email address had any special characters. I provided the special character my old email address had and was again told I did not have the correct email address so they could not access my account for security reasons. The agent suggested I access my old email address. I reminded the agent I no longer had access to the old email. The agent suggested I wait to see if I get an email on my current email as there was nothing more they could ****** 3 I never received an email from visible. I contacted visible Customer ********************** chat several more times and provided all the same information. I was repeatedly advised I needed to remember the original email. I purchased the domain and reactivated the original email without improvement. I ask to speak to a supervisor and the pattern repeated.I no longer have access to a phone number I have had for years. I am now using a new phone number.

    I am filing a complaint against Visible (Case #********) for repeated misinformation, poor customer **********************, and refusal to offer fair compensation after their errors caused significant stress and wasted time.On October 14, 2025, I received two contradictory emails from Visible within 20 minutes. The first claimed my trade-in return was rejected because it arrived too late. The second confirmed the exact opposite that my phone had been received, evaluated, and my loan balance of $512.88 paid off. Confused, I contacted Visible support for clarification.What followed was over an hour and a half of frustrating chat interaction. The first ***** repeatedly gave inconsistent or incorrect information claiming my phone hadnt arrived and instructing me to contact **** even after I showed them Visibles own confirmation that the return was received and refunded. After many delays, the ***** finally admitted the upgrade was completed and the loan was paid off, but still gave contradictory answers.I then requested escalation to a supervisor. The supervisor confirmed the return was indeed completed and apologized, admitting that the earlier ***** would be coached. However, Visible refused any compensation for the stress, confusion, and wasted time, stating that because I had once previously received a credit for a different issue, I was not eligible for another regardless of repeated company errors.I am seeking acknowledgment of the mishandling of my case, proper documentation that my refund was correctly processed, and compensation for the distress and time wasted due to Visibles repeated misinformation and lack of accountability.

    I contacted this company via chat, which is the only way to resolve anything with them. I told them I was having trouble with short code verification texts only. The bot or person I was chatting with did not seem to understand what that meant. They had me remove my eSIM, resulting in the loss of my telephone number and service. I was left with my only choice but to contact my old carrier via my laptop and get a new tn activated since I had to leave for work. This was 4 hrs into this. I tried to get my old number back via both my old carrier and thru visible and they just straight out disconnected it right away and it went back to my previous carrier who said they could not retrieve it. This should be illegal or reported to the ***. This is not right and you should have anywhere from 7-30 days to recoup your number. This was all done for an issue I told them was a network or provisioning issue on their part. And sure enough, I switch to the other carrier & have absolutely no problem with the short code texts. So they shut my service off and disconnected me for no reason. Only their incompetence. I am disputing the current bill I just got done paying & not receiving the service. Conveniently, the wont let me access my acct now so I cant verify the acct number or the amount. It was less than $35 and I have the order#, maybe that is the acct #********. My phone number they disconnected is ************. And if I cannot get the funds back, the company definitely owes me an apology at the very least.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    visible stated I should connect to WiFi, which defeats the purpose of having a wireless plan. 

    this makes no sense as the service provided doesnt work.

    I am a customer on the ********************+ plan. My line is not correctly provisioned to access the full features of this paid plan. Specifically, my device's network settings for 'Network Mode' are greyed out/locked to LTE, which is a carrier-pushed configuration that prevents me from manually selecting 5G bands, which are included in the Visible+ plan. The issue is a faulty provisioning profile on the ******* HLR (Home Location Register) for my line. I have spent no less than four hours with Visible chat support over the last couple days. They have attempted a re-provision among other steps and many, many restarts, but it failed to correct the faulty profile. I require escalation to a Tier 3/Technical Escalations Team to manually clear the cached configuration and re-provision the line to ensure I receive the premium 5G service I am paying for.

    I purchased a one-year Visible service plan on September 26, 2025. However, the next day I found the network quality to be poor and unsatisfactory. On October 7, 2025, I ported my phone number to another carrier.Since I only used Visible service for about ten days, I believe it is unreasonable that my account has been completely closed after charging me the full one-year fee. I think Visible should either:1.Provide me with a new number so that I can continue to use the remaining service, or 2.Issue a refund for the unused portion of my annual plan.

    I purchased a factory-unlocked Canadian iPhone 15 Pro. This phone is fully compatible with ******** network I was able to activate *******s eSIM with no issues, and the phone also works with Visibles physical SIM.However, Visible will not allow me to activate an eSIM on this same phone. The Visible app blocks me with a message that my device is not supported, even though ******* eSIM works on the phone with no problems. This shows the restriction is not technical, but due to an internal policy or outdated device list.I chose ******************** specifically because it advertises eSIM support on iPhone 15 models, but there was no clear disclosure that only U.S. model iPhones would be accepted. I have already contacted Visible customer support and escalated the issue, but they told me they cannot manually whitelist my phone.Resolution Requested:I would like Visible to:1. Allow me to activate an eSIM on my Canadian iPhone 15 Pro (since the device is technically compatible with ******** network), or 2. Provide a clear explanation as to why the phone is blocked, and update its advertising to make it clear that non-U.S. iPhone models are not supported for eSIM.

    On Friday, September 19, 2025, I received a replacement phone and a new SIM card kit. I have been completely unable to activate this replacement phone due to a significant and ongoing issue with *******'s activation and account security protocols.Since receiving the phone, I have repeatedly contacted *******'s customer ********************** to activate it. The representatives are unable to complete the activation because they insist on a second verification step. This verification requires sending a text message or a code to my phone number.I have explained to every representative that I do not have a working phone or active service on my account. The entire purpose of this process is to activate the new SIM card and phone, which would then restore my service and number. I cannot receive any verification codes until the activation is complete. This has created a frustrating and seemingly endless loop where I am unable to proceed and am left without phone service.Furthermore, I am unable to log in to my My ******* account online. I do not have my account number, as I cannot access my account information. The password reset process is not working, and I am locked out of my account. I have also been unable to go to a ******* store to resolve this in person because I do not have a valid government-issued ID.This situation is unacceptable. I have a new phone and a valid SIM card kit, but I am being prevented from using the service I am paying for due to these procedural obstacles. I have exhausted all standard avenues for resolution with your customer ********************** representatives.

    Dear BBB Representative,

    I am writing to inform you that my issue with ******* has been resolved. At this time, no further action is required regarding my previous complaint.

    Additionally, I have been receiving messages from Visible, even though my original concern was with *******. However, since my issue has been fully resolved, there is no need for any additional follow-up.

    Thank you for your assistance and for helping ensure that my concern was addressed.

    Sincerely,

    ***** ****
