Now it’s easier than ever to have your whole family on Project Fi. The wireless service is welcoming parents to add children under 13 years old as Google figured out a way for their activity to be monitored and controlled. Both the Project Fi app and the Family Link app will be necessary. The two have been around for quite a bit, but now they’re collaborating since Google wants...
Google on Wednesday announced plans to add three new devices to Project Fi. Starting today, Project Fi customers can use the Moto G6, LG G7, and LG V35, the latter of which was just announced (and is also available through AT&T). Today’s news expands Project Fi with some exciting new blood. Before, the only devices officially compatible with Project Fi included Google’s Pixel and...
The existence of Google’s wireless service has always been an interesting topic in the wireless industry. Project Fi doesn’t force you to pay for anything you don’t need, but that also means anyone who uses a lot of data in a single month ends up with an expensive bill. Well, that was actually true until 2018. Now there’s Bill Protection. Its name tells you everything. Bill...
At just $20 per month for unlimited calls and texts and $10 per GB of data, Project Fi is an affordable alternative for individuals. And, now, the service is welcoming groups, too. Google on Tuesday officially introduced Project Fi group plans, which lets up to six people share a plan at a discounted rate. Each user costs $15 per month for unlimited talk and text, while the $10 rate...
Google on Tuesday announced Project Fi now supports data-only devices, meaning subscribers can use tablets with the wireless service. Surprisingly, Google has committed to supporting devices outside of the Nexus family, including the iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2 and Galaxy Tab S. Google says current subscribers can order a data-only SIM at no extra cost, though there will be a monthly charge...
I got a package in the mail recently from Google. But not Google PR. It’s from Google Project Fi, since I signed up for it earlier this year. The company is sending out small little gifts to early adopters. I opened the package expecting it to be some sort of candy for the holidays, but it’s actually a set of Legos. I figured it might be fun to build it together, holiday spirit and...
To celebrate the official launch of Google’s Nexus 5X, the search giant is offering up “instant invite” access to Project Fi. The service typically requires an invite to try it out—and even then you have to wait quite a while to get in—but for the next 24 hours you can get in instantly — provided you live in a supported zip code. Not a bad way to raise awareness for your MVNO service...
Google’s Project Fi, still in early testing among consumers who are invited to test out the carrier service, offers several benefits to end users. It’s easy to see and manage your data, you only pay for the data you use, and your calls are routed over mobile and Wi-Fi networks. But there’s something else that might attract you to the service. Android Central discovered recently that,...
Here’s what you need to know about Project Fi. Basically, Google is testing the mobile carrier waters, albeit in a very limited capacity. If you have a Nexus 6 and live in one of the covered territories, you can request an invite. Long story short, we are going to test it out, and report back with our findings. Project Fi offers text, talk, Wi-Fi tethering and international coverage in...
Google’s wireless service, Project Fi, is already active and available for early testers. It’s still an invite-only program, however, and interested parties such as ourselves are still waiting for our chance to test it. Thankfully, the company sent out a status on the program this week, that lets us know when we can expect a chance to try Project Fi. “We’re sending invites as quickly...
