Just make sure you give it at least a few months before deciding it's truly reliable enough to trust permanently (and still consider keeping a low-cost alternative like Tello around for a backup just in case).
But it seems to work well for enough people to still make it worth trying out. Also their customer service is an absolute joke much of the time. They get bottom priority service in exchange for that cheap truly unlimited data, so service can go to shit in areas with overburdened towers. Visible has been very hit-or-miss since it started up about three years ago, butt things seem to be getting better. It's some sort of experimental Verizon subsidiary with truly unlimited data for $40, which you can get down to $25 via Party Pay - join a group in r/visiblepartypay if you don't need four lines yourself. If you can get decent Verizon service there, try out r/visible. You'll want to press "Wifi Direct Hotspot", by the way. It won't show on the play store on some carriers/phones so you may have to get it from ApkMirror. Works amazingly for tethering my iPad up on long car rides so I can watch some Netflix without buffering every 2 seconds. Each platform has a different method for getting it to tether to it correctly. Just make sure you press the little help button in the app (after turning on the direct hotspot it pops up) and it includes instructions for different platforms (Android, iOS, Windows, etc). There is a way around it on Android by using an app called PdaNet+ but it's a little annoying to use. It was added in I think Android Lollipop. It has its own little channel it goes through. Even turning on a VPN won't get around it because tethering activity is set to not go through a VPN. Because both Google and Apple added a little flag to any tethering network activity that tells your carrier if you're tethering or not.
