Google Fi Gains New $35/Month Unlimited Plan, Improved iPhone Integration

No thanks. I'll stick with T-Mobile. I've had them for 9 years and never had a single issue with cell service, customer service, etc.

First time I'm hearing about USMobile. How are their coverage and what's the experience when traveling to other countries?

reports both good and bad when roaming the earth ... personally, I wouldn't recommend any MNVO when intra-country traveling ... just e-sim it up in the country/countries of origin for that period of time ... my 2 cents

Okay. $25 x 12 months is $250. Yet the annual cost you show $275?!

25 X 12 =300

Does Fi work with Apple Watch yet?

As far as I can tell, no.

“The plan includes unlimited calls, text, and data, with 30 GB of high-speed data.”

So not “unlimited”.

Yes it is still unlimited, just not "high-speed" after you go over 30GB, it slows down but it is still unlimited data.

Saying it slows down kind of undersells how bad the slowdown is. Fi drops you down to 2G speeds. Unusable for anything besides IM at that point.

I would really love to switch to Fi but I travel to rural areas in the US a lot and while my Verizon coverage works pretty well, I am worried Fi coverage will be not so great. Is the Fi network identical to the T Mobile network at this point? I have been confused about this in the past and whether iPhone coverage is the same as Android coverage etc etc.

arent they going to split google for monopoly? now they are taking over telecommunication

They are one and the same, yes.

For sure, I know that…but it’s still unlimited, I was replying to someone who said it’s not unlimited, which is incorrect

When I read their marketing material, I get the impression that it'd just work with whatever network is available in other countries, but that's probably too good to be true. Thanks

I can’t speak for international travel but US Mobile is lovely. If you pick the unlimited plan you can choose from the big 3 networks on the fly. I opted with Verizon with their 2GB plan and i have zero complaints. In the years I’ve had them I’ve only had to top off data while on vacationing in Hawaii.

Someone said it's not that great for international travels but sounds like a great deal locally. I'll look into it if ever I get kicked out of my friends and fam plan with tmo. Thanks!
