That's more than Mint's unlimited plan. Are you only using 3GB of data? You could switch to Mint's 5GB/month plan for $180/year which is less than half of what you pay. The speed should be similar since they are both on T-Mobile's network. It might even be better since T-Mobile owns Mint now.
Hmmm I'll have to look into it, thanks. It's been a few years since I did research on it, but there may have been phone compatibility issues iirc. I'll recheck in case I'm misremembering or it's changed.
I have a Visible plan (Verizon network, which works best in my area). Unlimited data and it's a flat $30/mo. Did Google Fi and Xfinity Mobile before this and Visible is the one I like the best.
For anyone like me outside the US wondering what the fuck is GoogleFi : It's a Virtual mobile network provider, using wifi and other provider's network.
Hope I saved you a search.
For me living in france, these prices seems outrageous. For the record I pay 13€/months and got pretty much unlimited everything (130 GiB data is more than I'll ever use in a single months on my phone)
US cell service plans always seem insanely priced compared to what we're used to here in Europe. They pay a fortune for shitty plans with low data caps, it's ridiculous.
Yeah I pay €8 a month mainly because I can manage with 3gb data a month (especially after quitting FB and IG). I would have expected a phone service running off WiFi would have been even cheaper!
Google Fi is a 5G virtual network that primarily uses T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular towers. The "Fi" in "Google Fi" is not a reference to WiFi. Americans just like sticking "Fi" on anything that uses wireless data.
User for 8 years. Still a good deal for me. No contracts. Great deals on phones. My bill this month is $34. Sorry, it's not a good fit for some people, tho.
I mean, I've been on Google Fi for almost 8 years. It might cease to exist eventually, but I care about since it has saved me roughly $20/mo for 8 years. It also has free international data/calling and wifi partnerships around the country.
So plus $5 per person per month over 2 people. Not a deal breaker but just try and always have an unlocked phone so you can jump anytime and not get locked into BS
Google Fi doesn't sell locked phones, so that shouldn't be a problem.
They do have various deals that require staying on the Fi plan for some time (I'm getting the full price of a Pixel 7 back in discounts spread over 2 years), but I read that they're delaying this increase for anyone on a promo (probably because a change of plan would allow people to exit the deal).
It's sad for anyone who has to pay more now, but it was pretty strange that the price was actually the same for 4 lines as 2 (taxes and fees excluded).
