Visible has a new offer that can help you save significant money when switching to its service. Both Visible and Visible+ packages are now available for purchase upfront on an annual basis. These new annual plans are available for new Visible customers starting today, while existing customers will gain access to them this May.

With this new deal, the Visible+ plan costs $395 per year when paid upfront instead of $540 when paid in 12 monthly installments of $45 each. This means you can save $145, which is 26%. That’s an incredible savings. When paying upfront for the regular Visible plan, it will cost $275 per year, saving you $25. If you pay for it monthly, the standard Visible plan costs $25 per month (or $300 per year).

The new pricing options give you more savings with a Visible+ plan. That plan offers extras like smartwatch service, unlimited use of your phone as a Wi-Fi connection at twice the speed, and One Global Pass day per month. That pass, announced in March, offers unlimited talk and text services and 2GB of high-speed data for a flat rate of $10 per day in up to 140 countries worldwide.

The Visible+ mobile hotspot feature gives users faster speeds, reaching up to 10Mbps. Visible also announced that it will now include its Connection Protection plan as a standard member feature. This program guarantees that if Visible customers experience layoffs, they will receive service credits of $25 per month for a maximum of three months.

As a mobile network operator, Visible offers unlimited data, messages, and minutes for a flat monthly rate. New Visible customers can bring their current devices or buy new ones from Visible, including popular models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

It’s also worth noting that Visible’s usual monthly rates aren’t going anywhere. If you prefer to pay for your cell service month-to-month, you still have that option. However, if you can foot a larger bill upfront, these new annual plans are absolutely worth considering.

What is 5G? Speeds, coverage, comparisons, and more

For years, 5G mobile networking has been the golden goose egg that many mobile device manufacturers and carriers have been striving for. And now more than ever, that dream is very much a reality. 5G connectivity can be found on everything from iPhones to Android hardware, and even some third-party mobile devices. But is there really that big of a difference between 5G and 4G/LTE? The simple answer is yes, but nothing’s ever just black and white, especially when we’re talking about consumer tech. 

Not to worry though: We’ve been researching and working with 5G devices for a long time here at Digital Trends. To help you through the weeds on the subject, we’ve put together this 5G guide to give you all the mobile know-how you’ll need.

If you have your heart set on a phone with a stylus, you’re probably familiar with Samsung devices like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the previous Galaxy S23 Ultra. But there is another company out there that ships phones with a stylus — Motorola. Unlike Samsung’s flagship, the new Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) won’t break the bank thanks to its $400 starting price in the U.S.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is the latest in a series of midrange stylus-equipped phones that Motorola started releasing in 2020. The latest model keeps up with its predecessors with solid midrange capabilities and, as the name indicates, support for 5G.

We have bad news for AT&T customers who always expect to get the fastest 5G speeds. The second-largest carrier in the U.S. will now make you pay extra for the fastest option. On Thursday, AT&T announced its new “Turbo” add-on, which it says will provide “enhanced data connectivity for real-time responsiveness.”

What this means in terms of network speeds compared to what everyday AT&T 5G customers get isn’t exactly clear.
