Visible Military & Veteran Discount
$5/month off any plan for service members, veterans, and first responders — verified free through ID.me, evergreen while you keep service.
Yes — Visible offers a genuine military discount: $5 per month off any Visible plan, for as long as you keep service, after you verify with ID.me. On the $25/month base plan that’s $20/month ($240/year), with all taxes and fees included. The same $5/month rate is available to veterans, retirees, military spouses and dependents, and to nurses, teachers, and first responders.
Here’s the honest catch: the $5/month discount does not stack with Visible’s promotional codes. If you’re switching a number in from another carrier, the public SWITCH26 port-in code ($19/month for 26 months) actually beats the military discount for the first two years — after that, the evergreen military rate wins. So the smart move is to pick one: the military discount for the long haul, or a port-in promo for the biggest short-term cut.

Military discount vs. the SWITCH26 port-in code — pick one, and it depends on how long you’ll stay
The $5/month military discount is evergreen but won’t stack with Visible’s promo codes. If you’re porting a number in, the public port-in code is cheaper for the first two years — after that the military rate wins. Here’s how to choose:
- Already a Visible customer, or staying more than ~2 years, or not porting a number? Verify ID.me and take the evergreen military $5/mo ($20/mo base, forever).
- New customer porting a number from an eligible carrier? Use SWITCH26 ($19/mo for 26 months) — it beats the military rate for the first ~26 months.
- On a premium plan and porting in? 5OFF5 gives $5/mo off Visible+/Pro for 60 months.
- Don’t try to stack — it’s one service discount per line, so pick the single best path.
Visible does not publish an explicit "ID.me + port-in code" combinability statement; treat the military discount as non-stacking until confirmed at checkout. Whether it applies to annual prepaid plans is also unconfirmed.
BEST SAVINGS PATH
The smartest route depends on your situation. Answer the two questions to find your best path, or scan the full decision table below.
| Path | Stack | Effective price | You save | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Military / ID.me discount | No stack with promo codes | $240/yr ($20/mo), evergreen | $60/yr, indefinitely | You want a permanent discount and aren’t a new switcher (or plan to keep Visible over 2 years). |
| SWITCH26 (port-in) | No stack | $19/mo for 26 months, then $25 | $6/mo for 26 months (~$156) | New member porting a number from an eligible carrier; best short/mid-term price. |
| FRESHSTART (new member) | No stack | $20/mo for 12 months, then $25 | $60 first year only | New member, not switching from an eligible carrier, no ID.me eligibility. |
| 5OFF5 (port-in, Visible+/Pro) | No stack | $5/mo off Visible+/Pro for 60 months | $5/mo for 5 years | Porting in AND choosing a premium plan. |
| Annual base plan | Standalone | $275/yr (~$22.92/mo) | $25 vs standard | You’d rather prepay a year than verify ID.me — but the military monthly rate is cheaper. |
| Referral "Friend Code" | One-time only | −$20 one month | $20 once | You have a friend’s code at activation (one-time, not recurring). |

HOW IT WORKS
Visible is Verizon’s app-based prepaid brand, and its military discount is powered by ID.me group verification — not the ID.me Shop cashback marketplace. You verify your eligibility once through ID.me; the $5/month credit then applies to your account for as long as you keep the line active. ID.me may request re-verification periodically per its standard policy, and support runs through Visible’s in-app chat and community.
The discount is a flat $5/month on every tier: the $25 base plan drops to $20, Visible+ ($35) to $30, and Visible+ Pro ($45) to $40. Because it’s a fixed dollar amount rather than a percentage, and because it will not combine with Visible’s promo codes, the real question for a new customer isn’t which coupon to stack — it’s the military discount versus a limited-time port-in promo.
One point of confusion worth clearing up: the ID.me Shop cashback listing for Visible is inactive and incorrectly states that no military discount exists. That page is a separate product from the ID.me group verification Visible actually runs. The real, verified $5/month offer lives at visible.com/v/idme.
Because Visible controls the terms and can change them at any time, treat the numbers here as a starting point and confirm the current offer on Visible’s official ID.me page before you sign up.
Exclusions & fine print
- The discount is a flat $5/month, not a percentage — the dollar value is the same on every plan tier.
- Does not combine with new-member or port-in promo codes (FRESHSTART, SWITCH26, 5OFF5, SUMMER) or other Visible service promotions.
- One service discount per line — you choose the military discount or a promo code, not both.
- Whether it applies to annual prepaid plans is not stated on the offer page; confirm before prepaying a year.
- Standard plan limits apply (e.g. Visible+ data may slow after 50 GB in congestion; hotspot speed caps by tier).
- Requires maintaining active service — the discount ends if the line is cancelled.
