I am attempting to move from Verizon to Visible (a Verizon subsidiary). My IMEI did not check as compatible with Visible and this is what the level three rep replied with:

[1] What is the suggested solution to change to a carrier firmware package that will work?
[1a] I believe you change this with Odin?
[1b] The Samsung Unlocked version does not work with Visible.
[2] Will it require to setup the phone again?
[3] Will Samsung Pay / Secure Folder still work?

UPDATE: I have data and mobile hotspot working with my S9+, but still no phone calls or texts. Keep that in mind if you need an unlimited device for data.

Thanks
