TL;DR
- Verizon’s Visible brand is expanding with limited in-store availability through Best Buy.
- Customers can now sign up at Best Buy locations, with SIM cards, device compatibility checks, and basic support provided.
- Plans and features remain the same as online, though some in-person services may involve Geek Squad fees.
As T-Mobile announces a new CEO and its commitment to a digital-first experience (meaning more focus online and less in-store), Verizon’s digital-first brand Visible is taking a different approach. To be clear, Visible will not be opening its own stores or abandoning its online-first model, but customers can now sign up for service directly at Best Buy locations nationwide.
Best Buy will provide SIM cards, device compatibility checks, and face-to-face support for customers who are interested in Visible but turned off by its current online-only model. Ultimately, this move is about giving consumers more ways to sign up, though the plans and features remain the same as those available online.
