Global Pass

Global Pass provides 24 hours of unlimited calls, texts, and up to 2GB/day high-speed roaming data in more than 140 countries and territories!

 

How it works

  • In your Visible account, enable Autopay and Global Pass.

  • Upon arrival at your destination, a 24-hour Global Pass session will begin when your device initiates a connection to a compatible country’s cellular network – an SMS will be sent upon arrival in your destination country.

    • You’ll receive a notification letting you know that your Global Pass has successfully activated.

      • What activities trigger a connection?

        • Apps using/refreshing data in the background

        • Placing or receiving a call

        • Sending or receiving a text

  • After a Global Pass session ends, any further device connection to the foreign network will trigger another 24-hour Global Pass session and fee.

    • If you travel to more than one Global Pass-compatible country on the same day, you will be charged for a new 24-hour session once your device initiates another network connection.

    • Avoiding unwanted charges:

      • Keep your device’s airplane mode enabled until you’re ready for your Global Pass session to start.

      • Enable airplane mode before the active Global Pass session expires.

      • Alternatively, you can also go into your account via the app or a web browser and disable Global Pass (you can re-enable the feature later, when ready).

  • Calls may be placed from your destination country to phone numbers within that country OR to the U.S. while Global Pass is active for no additional charge.

  • Review the Global Pass terms & conditions for more information.
