Even if the US has few mobile carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon are major carriers in the region. Every carrier has both Prepaid and Postpaid connections. Among them, some operators run Prepaid service in different brands as an experiment. It means They may have huge offers for a short time and utilize Major carrier towers. The same goes for the Visible Prepaid service. Visible uses Verizon towers and works as a standalone brand. Verizon already allows Visible to use its low band 5G to its users. But the supporting models are less. Now you can access Visible Prepaid 5G in the Samsung Galaxy S20 series. It includes regular S20, S20 Plus, and Ultra version.
Visible, the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) of Verizon, which offers “unlimited everything,” rolled out its service exclusively for iPhone 12 last December. Now it expands 5G services to selected Android handsets starting from the Galaxy S20 series.
