Remove the parent companies Verizon/ATT/Tmo are the ones pulling all these strings. They collude together because they can.

[@WhiteoutSnowy]

Visible + plan has HD ?

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Visible has never had 4k streaming, that's why I left them for US Mobile. If they don't grandfather my 4k hotspot streaming, I'll be leaving for AT&T. I might anyway, There's some issues with US Mobile taking 10 to 15 minutes to authenticate to a cellphone tower after I've been in a weak area.

[@juangomez1784]

I have Visible + and 4k streaming is available when you are on Ultra Wideband instead of regular 5G.

Dang, I almost switched to US mobile for the 720p video streaming, but these new changes, changed my mind. I don't want to use a vpn for the hassle, also because my phone is used for work as well.

US Mobile's premium plan also changed international minutes and texts while roaming. It used to be up to 1,000 mins & 1,000 texts, now it is just 500 mins and 500 texts everywhere while roaming.

[@jackphillips3512]

Thanks for the explanation. I will note too that since June 20th I’ve seen a degrade in signal on US Mobile and Tracfone at my location. It makes me wonder if some tower lease contract expired. I live in a rural, mountainous area and most of towers are not owned by carriers. Even with a signal booster the signal strength has degraded tremendously.

@@justinstandifer604I tried it from US Mobile to Visible but got in a glitch and went AT&T Prepaid where they said they couldn’t port it and went to a new number, then went to T Mobile which was a pain to port out due to their takeover protection and finally moved back to US Mobile. I downgraded to the $25 unlimited starter on Verizon because I have WiFi at home and only used around 15 to 20 gb of data.

[@SearlesHernandez]

Can you make a video on how these carriers determine data usage? On Mint Mobile, my family and I would use 28-30 GBs per month. Since switching to US Mobile we have used 22 GBs in the first 10 days while using our phones less. 🤙🏼

[@joebishop7909]

I know you probably get asked this all the time, but for the average person would you go with US Mobile or Visible ?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Visible is great if you need a lot of data. US Mobile is great if you want slightly better customer support and priority data on the Verizon network. Typically, I recommend US Mobile to my friends. Both are great options though. It really depends on your needs.

[@MRamos7273]

[@jpg334]

After a few days of thinking it over I think my previous comment saying US Mobile would no longer be an option for me and my family when we visit the USA was incorrect US Mobile is still an option

[@mostcallmerob]

I watched this video in 480p intentionally and it hurt. 720p should be the bare minimum.

[@theunbreakable6352]

I did the same and could barely tell the difference. First world problems

[@antibrevity]

I can understand that on a monitor, but on a small phone screen it just doesn't make much difference. However, I do think it's awful that they did this as the main selling points of US Mobile was the Priority data and the 720p streaming when everyone else at these price points offers Deprioritized data and 480p streaming. Boo to US Mobile; they've raised plan prices twice in the past 6 months. Next they'll be switching to deprioritized data on lower-priced plans :(. However, you can watch at whatever resolution you want with a VPN and many people can set one up at home for free with an old computer or Raspberry. While I totally understand why they do it, the carriers should have no legal right to control video resolution on plans that they claim are "Unlimited". This is why Net Neutrality was important :(.

[@Peizxcv]

I can tell 480p and 720p on a phone’s 6.8” screen. 720p and 1080p not really

[@sportsfan7702]

I guess I’m in the minority, but I’m still on the $29 plan. I don’t travel internationally so I’m wondering what I would be gaining going down to $25 I don’t think much of anything. maybe somebody can correct me

[@artdogg50]

I can definitely tell the difference between 480p and 720p.

[@gtramerica4565]

Visible wireless is now King because my city is covered in ultra wideband and visible allows for 4K on UW

[@joshuwa3953]

So you recommend us mobile or visible. Both cost the same. I see a slight edge in 35gb priority data over visible. Other than that it seems to be same across the board.

[@MccTube]

35GB of priority is better for most, check your data usage

[@PLATINUM2U]

i was on the grandfathered previous plan i left because the hotspot would turn off completely after 50 gb. Went back to Verizon can't be happier. yes, its more but the customer service is phenominal and the hotspot just slows down instead of shutting off completely

[@toptiertech7291]

If you guys ever care about video streaming just use a vpn. Easy 4k streaming on any plan

[@Surge718]

How does that work? I just activate my VPN and that's it?

[@mongoose.0819]

Teleporting is why I'm considering US Mobile. Where I currently live, T-Mobile gets better coverage, but where my family lives, I'm not sure which provider would be better since I've always had AT&T and so has my family. I also like how these companies now offer annual plans, something I may onsider with US Mobile depending on how my free month goes.

[@nite82hawk]

Well, there goes US Mobile as an option for me. Looks like I'll be sticking with Visible.

[@david_thao]

New video on US Mobile vs Visible since the prices are almost identical.

[@brandonphuoc2499]

With iOS 18, Apple will add RCS texting to iMessage. Does US Mobile offer RCS texting between iPhone and Android? I heard only the big 3: Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile offer it for now.

[@Brisingr73]

I would imagine so since US Mobile uses their towers, but not completely sure.

[@MccTube]

MVNO's that support RCS Android to Android will most likely add support with the official iOS 18 release

[@gparyani]

Could you please do a video on the best mobile plans for short-term tourists visiting the US? In most countries, I'd simply walk into a store of a major MNO and get a cheap prepaid plan for one month, but that doesn't seem possible here in the States, as the MNOs' prepaid variants tend to charge high activation fees of up to $35 which would greatly jack up the price for just one month. Criteria would include not needing annual payments to get a good price, able to activate in a store without needing to have a SIM shipped, and ideally costing $20 or under. Yes, I'm aware that someone could just get an eSIM plan online beforehand, but knowing what are good options is a good idea, and many Asia-Pacific phone models don't have eSIM support (I know, because I have such a model of Android phone, and neither do some iPhone variants sold in the Asia-Pacific region).

[@kpopbutlofi]

[@MoviesAreDopeREACTS]

Where are you finding the 720 video streaming vs 480 video streaming numbers? I can't find them anywhere on the site

[@GumperVanLier]

I'm disappointed. I was going to switch to the Unlimited Flex for $15. I don't use the hotspot. I don't care about the lower video quality. I do like that fees and taxes are included. This makes it easier to budget. I'm wondering if you select a light plan, what happens if you use up your 2 gig? Are you throttled like the Unlimited Flex Plan or get no data?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Data stops after your high-speed allotment on the Light Plan. You can purchase extra high-speed data as you need it though.

[@GumperVanLier]

@@StetsonDoggett Thank you for the quick response, Stetson.

If I’m reading your comparison correctly for unlimited starter, those in this plan go from 720p hd to 480p streaming?
