Earlier this year, I made a pretty drastic change in mobile carriers. After 10 years of being subscribed to T-Mobile, I decided it was time to call it quits and switch to a different provider. I moved not only myself, but also my partner and some of my family members to Visible, and that’s where we’ve been ever since.
Fast forward to today, and it’s officially been over five months since T-Mobile and I parted ways. Now that the honeymoon phase with Visible is over and I’ve had time to really assess things, what’s my conclusion? Was the switch worth it?
Absolutely. Not once have I regretted my decision to leave T-Mobile. If anything, I wish I had done it sooner.

When I initially left T-Mobile, the thing I was most worried about was my signal quality. Going from a major carrier to a prepaid MVNO like Visible, I braced myself for the worst: slow data speeds, annoying throttling, and unreliable coverage.

Not only have I used it while running errands or during any other trips away from my apartment, but I’ve also used it on a vacation to Buffalo, a camping trip in northern Michigan, and during visits to some rural farms and pumpkin patches throughout this fall season.
