Be wary of transferring to Visible right now - Known issue with porting/activation

I tried to transfer my number to Visible today. I got emails that the number was released and with Visible now. But it would not activate. I've talked with 3 reps and none can help me. It's a "known technical issue" that they're trying to resolve. I've been told 24 to 48 hours. Being without a phone that long really sucks. I can't port out somewhere else because it's not activated. There is nothing I can do but wait and I need to be reachable right now. I've had a good experience with Visible in the past, but this has been terrible. I've never had an issue porting my number before. I've been without a phone for half a day now and don't know when it will be resolved.

If you're considering switching right now, I'd HIGHLY recommend waiting if you care about being able to use your phone for the next few days. It supposedly only affects a small number of people, but that could be you. I don't know if it's an ongoing issue or just a temporary glitch and my timing sucks. I'll update whenever I'm able to activate and maybe it's safe at that time. I still think this is a decent service/value, but if I had known the issues I'd be having, I would have chosen differently.
