It's war! Visible responds to Mint's deal by targeting T-Mobile customers

A war is breaking out on US soil. Instead of leaving victims, this war will help consumers because it's about cell phone plans. Just recently, we told you that T-Mobile-owned Mint Mobile announced a limited-time offer that runs through September 5. The offer is open to Verizon and AT&T customers who port their number. A new customer who signs up for a three-month plan can get up to four additional plans for free. In addition, Mint is currently offering all three-month plans for $15 per month.

VerizonLike Mint Mobile, the Visible unit of does not own any retail stores and, similar to Mint, subscribers rely on an app or the company's website to make changes to their account, order phones, etc. Since neither Mint nor Visible own their own networks, Mint relies on T-Mobile's mobile communications and visible uses Verizon's signals.

According to Visible, Mint Mobile customers will pay $600 for five lines, plus fees and taxes, after the three-month promotional period ends. “If you read the fine print, you'll be charged $120 per line starting in the fourth month if you opt for the 'unlimited' plan (which, by the way, is actually a 40GB data plan that then slows down),” Visible says.

So here is Visible’s counterfire. If you are a T-Mobile postpaid single-line customer, port your T-Mobile number and get a Visible plan for $15 per month, which includes taxes and fees. And here's the kicker: That price is guaranteed for five years.

Visible points out that even with its standard pricing, it offers a better deal than Mint. The latter offers an unlimited plan for $30 per month per line with a three-month minimum. Visible offers what it calls a “true” unlimited plan for $25 per month per line, taxes and fees included, with no commitment required.
