Syniverse and Visible on Wednesday announced that they are teaming up so Visible's subscribers can take their talk, text, and data with them when they travel outside of the United States.

Visible’s Global Pass, powered by Syniverse's policy solutions, gives those subscribers the type of international options and high-quality connections they’d expect while roaming on a postpaid phone plan. Tiers of pricing are clear and transparent, giving customers a thorough understanding of what they’ll pay to stay connected, thereby enjoying a superior customer experience.

Roaming is typically challenging for prepaid plans because of the complexity of international agreements, individual device compatibility, and the visited carrier's ability to charge additional fees. Syniverse's policy solutions overcome those hurdles, allowing Visible to present its subscribers with flat rates and clear-cut roaming options beyond Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

These options also help Visible convert silent roamers into revenue-generating customers by encouraging them to keep their mobile devices connected while abroad. Subscribers will simply enable the feature while still in the U.S., and, once in a foreign country, they will receive an SMS message confirming their service.

Syniverse also facilitates and supports Verizon's Global Pass as part of its longstanding relationship with the carrier.

Harry Patz, Jr., Chief Revenue Officer of Syniverse

How people choose to pay for their mobile phone service should not affect their roaming experience. By making it possible for Visible customers to remain connected while they're abroad, we've again demonstrated that we will continue to develop and provide innovative solutions for all types of carriers as they seek to meet their subscribers' needs.

Jeremy Bolton, Managing Director at Visible

Visible prides itself on providing a seamless experience for our members, and when it comes to roaming, our customers deserve the best. Traveling abroad should be enjoyable, not stressful. That's why we partnered with Syniverse — to deliver a hassle-free connection, through Global Pass, that lets you live your best life, wherever that may be.
