Google Fi’s “unlimited” plans are getting lower price and more data limits. Google explains the changes to the “Simply Unlimited” plans now start at $50 for one line rather than $60. High speed data limits are changing from 22GB to 35GB, and you’re permitted 5GB of hotspot tethering. If you’re on a family plan and are purchasing more lines from Google Fi, your costs will be going down, as well. Two lines are currently $40 each rather than $45, three lines are $25 each rather than $30, four or more lines are $20 each rather than $30. Simply Unlimited doesn’t not work worldwide, however the plan works with unlimited calling in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Fi has an “Unlimited Plus” plan as well, which gives international data access in 200+ countries, no restrictions on tethering, up to four extra data-only SIMs for you at no additional cost, and 100GB of Google One cloud storage. Unlimited Plus is down $5 in all plans, with the new prices beginning at $65 for one line and ending at $40 for four or more lines. The high-speed data limit is up from 22GB to 50GB. Like with the other limited plan, users can get unlimited calling in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Fi’s “Flexble” plan is remaining the same. It still begins at $17 each month, in addition to $10 per gigabyte of data use.
Google Fi is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), which means that Google gives access to other companies’ networks with its own price and features. Google Fi combines the T-Mobile and US Cellular networks in the US, allowing the phone to switch between whichever provider has the stronger signal. You will need a special phone for this to work. With Google Pixel, Samsung, and Motorola phones, there are a variety of choices. In the event that you don’t have a compatible phone, you can use a regular T-Mobile MVNO service, even with an iPhone.
