    a few days prior to 10/1/24, received an email that my bill was coming due, i attempted to log in via the app & received an error message. it said: "There's been an issue with your account or information. Please contact care." i contacted visible via chat and i went through all their "troubleshooting" which meant changing the password, trying the website, reinstalling the app & using a different browser (none worked. got the same message). I did this twice w/2 different ***** the 1st hung up mid service (he actually called me to try to resolve the issue). i spoke to a 3rd *** ****** gave me a case# ******** because they were escalating my issue. they said my account had been restricted. why? they didnt know or wouldnt tell. i contacted visible via chat about 2 days later to check the status of the issue (i still couldnt get in). i was told by this *** that the case number referenced was closed out because it was a password reset issue. obviously this isnt a password issue. i told the agent im not paying for service if i cannot access the account (nor could i because the only way to pay is by accessing the website). so i told the agent since they are at this point withholding access without explanation to close my account. i received an email about ****** later confirming the close (they worked amazingly fast there but not to fix my issue), i started new service with a new carrier. in order to use my old number i need a port out pin & my account number (and im assuming that my balance has to be paid off). i contacted visible chat again. this *** tells me i can only get a pin by logging into my account (the same account which they originally locked me out of). also i have to pay to reinstate the account in order to get the access to get the pin. so they are holding my number for ****** in this circular game theyre playing. deny access to the customers account so the customer not only cant pay the bill, they also cant port out their number if they cancel sevice.

    9/20-28/2024 attempts to activate mobile phone service on my new smartphone and smartwatch with no success on smartwatch.9/28/2024 support actions and service provided system glitch led to my mobile phone number being changed without my authorizationsimilar to SIM swap fraud. 10/02/2024 support continues to tell me to wait while the risk equal to SIM swap fraud increases and the risk to permanently lose my mobile phone number increases, as most of my accounts rely on my mobile number for authentication.

    I ordered an iPhone 16, white titanium, 512 GB, for my daughter. The package was delivered without my signature, delivered earlier than expected, and the phone appears to have been stolen from the ****** the shipper of the package, Visible should have bricked the stolen iPhone 16 pro and shipped me a new replacement phone, filing a claim themselves with **** Instead, they told me since it was showing from *** as having been delivered, it was up to me to file a claim. I am now out the phone, they have my $1387.85, and I have no idea what to expect from ***, how long the process takes, or when I can expect resolution.This is unacceptable. I was taking this phone to my daughter at college because hers is having trouble, but she is a student, and didnt qualify for the credit to buy a new phone.We have been loyal business customers of ******************** for years despite frequent lack of connectivity and SOS instead of LTE or 5G, but I will now be telling everyone to stay away from this company due to terrible customer **********************.

    I purchase a phone from them, realized an hour later I didn't want it so I called and cancelled the order. The *** thread shows it had shipped but then intercepted and returned to Visible and was signed for at the warehouse. I had used Affirm for the loan, and according to Visible they need to "scan" it in before they can cancel the loan at ******. It has been almost a month since they have had the phone in their possession. I have spent hours (on work time) on the chat (they have no phone lines) trying to get this resolved and have the loan cancelled and it STILL has not been taken care of. I also filed a complaint with ****** letting them know the phone was never delivered and thankfully no payments are due while they're investigating. I just want this resolved so I can move my cell service somewhere else.

    I have been without service since 9/20/2024 (12 days as of writing this). After many, many hours chatting with their support, I have given up and decided to transfer service to another carrier. They are blocking the porting of my number to the other carrier saying that because I have an open case (that they haven't been able to solve in 12 days) that they can't transfer my number. I requested the case to be closed multiple times but they will not. I was told there was nothing they can do.

    Visible by ******* is running a promotional scam by advertising that if a customer switches from T-Mobile to ********************, their monthly bill will be $15 a month for five years using code BYEBYETMO. Thats false, as theyre not honoring that promotional price. Just a scam to con people into joining.

    I got a replacement device from *******, an iPhone, but several weeks after getting this replacement for the defective iPhone that I had, it turns out that this iPhone has a fake camera part and they refuse to replace it, when they did, they charged me but then canceled the order and kept my money and I'm stuck with the fake, and now they expect me to continue paying monthly when the agreement is for an iPhone not a Non genuine one

    I purchased the Visible + package, which is supposed to include 5G UW. That service is not available despite the map saying it is. I have spent hours on chat and have been disconnected despite being active, as they do not want to provide adequate customer **********************.

    Unable to log in to app or website and their solution is to send a screenshot of my error message over social media. This is not a solution and I need to access my account to get my port-out pin as soon as possible to leave this carrier. They cannot provide me with my port-out pin.
