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.
Even in Germany where prices are outrageous the US prices seem completely unhinged.
Well, to be fair, we're "in network" and not roaming on a landmass the size of the EU.
I fail to see why that's a reason to be so expensive tbh. These massive companies have way more customers too so they have huge savings.
Hahaha...yes we are, thus "roaming" prices. At least where I live, there is higher price and/or additional costs when calling outside home country.
It's kinda fair tho looking at the fact that providers need to negotatie using each others infrastructure for this to work.
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.
In the US, it's one of the cheapest carriers you can get.
Does that also work in other countries in the EU?
I don't remember exactly, but I think I get reduced data cap value if I'm using it from another eu country, the rest stays unlimited I think.
