If you've been itching to upgrade your smartphone, the holiday season is the perfect time to do so thanks to deals galore. One particularly awesome special that's worth checking out? This Visible deal, which not includes some of the hottest phones at discounted rates—we're talking as much as 20% off the regular price—but a free pair of Beats Solo Pro headphones, valued at up to $299, when you buy a phone outright and sign up for Visible's ultra-affordable $40 per month plan!

The list of eligible phones is extensive and includes models that sell for as little as $336 all the way up to premium models that go for $1,200 (you can pay in monthly installments at 0% APR if you don’t want to buy it outright). The 18 included phones feature both older and newer models from Apple (iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 12 mini, SE, 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max), Samsung (Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, A51 and S10e), and Google (Pixel 4a, 4a 5G, and Pixel 5), as well as the OnePlus 8 and Motorola Edge.
Along with getting a free pair of Beats Solo Pro headphones with the purchase of any of these phones, select phones will also net you extra goodies: You'll get a $50 MasterCard virtual account with the purchase of an iPhone 11; $100 with the iPhone 12 mini or 11 Pro, Pixel 4a or Galaxy S10e; $150 with the iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 11 Pro Max or the Pixel 4a 5G; and a whopping $200 with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, Pixel 5, OnePlus 8 or Motorola Edge. Imagine how many phone accessories you could buy with that!
Cashing in on the deal with Visible (which is owned by Verizon), is as easy as one, two, three: New customers need simply to choose and purchase an eligible phone from the list and port their current wireless number from another carrier over to Visible. From there, a SIM card will be mailed to you within 24 hours to insert into the phone. As a final step, download and sign into the Visible app and follow the instructions to activate your account. Upon activation, you'll receive an e-mail with a code to grab those free headphones. Your prepaid MasterCard virtual account activation code, meanwhile, will be e-mailed to you within eight weeks after your first two service payments.
But is the Visible plan actually worth the switch? For $40 per month, you'll get unlimited data, messages and minutes with no capped speeds—a strategy in which the carrier purposely slows down your connection once you reach a certain amount of data each month so you can still connect, but not with blazing fast speeds—all powered by Verizon's 4G LTE network, which means totally reliable coverage. While data could still be slowed down anyway from time-to-time if the network is congested (Verizon prioritizes network distribution), this might not be noticeable, depending on how you use the device and for what activities: If you just want to watch the occasional YouTube video, stream some music, and check e-mails and social media, this probably won’t be a big deal. Our executive editor, TJ Donegan, notes that even with that possibility, "without a speed cap, this is a great deal."
As for the headphones, there's a certain clout that goes along with sporting Beats' distinctive wares. This particular pair from the Apple-owned company boasts active noise-canceling (ANC), allowing you to block out distracting noises around you, like the hum of an airplane or the hustle and bustle of a busy street. Designed for all-day wear, the company claims they offer an impressive up to 22 hours of listening time while using ANC—almost double that with noise-canceling turned off. What's more, these headphones reportedly charge (up to three hours) in just 10 minutes.
If you need to ponder your phone purchase a while longer, this Visible offer will be good through the end of the month—but it's only while supplies last. It's a great deal that includes a fancy new phone, a fast and affordable monthly wireless plan, a pair of headphones to stream all the music you like and a prepaid code to load up on accessories. Talk about a win-win!
