Google Fi, Google’s renamed wireless network, has an appealing pay-only-for-what-you-use approach to monthly cellphone bills. Find out if this low-cost carrier is right for you.
Google already makes the OS for your smartphone and, for some of us, makes the phone itself. And if you sign up for Google Fi, the tech giant can provide the cellular service for that phone, too.
Known as Project Fi when it launched in 2015, Google touted its service as an alternate wireless carrier for select Google devices by using a blend of Wi-Fi and other carrier networks to keep you covered. Subscribers were drawn to its pay-only-for-what-you-use approach, too, especially after Google started capping the amount it charges each month.
A few years after its launch, Project Fi is all grown up — so much so that Google changed the name of the service to Google Fi and removed one of its biggest restrictions. While only select phones worked with the service before, now you can use just about any smartphone with Google Fi, including Apple's iPhone. You can even now pick up a SIM kit from Best Buy retail stores and join the service the very same day.
Here’s what you need to know about Google Fi.
What phones can you use with Google Fi?
Phone selection had been the biggest limitation with Project Fi. But now that the service is rebranded as Google Fi, that's changed in a major way.
As before, Google Fi is designed to work with Google's own phones, whether that's last fall's Pixel 2 models or the Pixel 3 phones that came out in October. And in 2017, Google opened up its wireless network to other devices when the Moto X4 became available. It was an Android One version of the phone, meaning it's as close to stock Android as possible.
As of this writing, the Fi-friendly phones available at the Google Fi website include the budget Moto G6 (now $99 when you buy it through Google's service) and the newer Moto G7. (Older devices from Moto and LG have come and come and gone, but you can expect the rumored Pixel 3a and 3a XL to join the ranks of Google Fi phones if they arrive, as expected, in May.) Like Google's Pixels, these phones are able to take advantage of Google Fi's multiple cellular networks and Wi-Fi hotspots (more on that below), seamless jumping to whatever tower offers the best coverage.

But Google has broadened Google Fi's reach by expanding the number of phones you can use with it. The relaunched service now lets you sign up using almost any Android phone. If you've got an iPhone, you can sign up for Google Fi, too, using the Google Fi iOS app; just be aware that Google Fi for iPhone is currently in beta.
Expanding the number of phones that will work with Google Fi certainly widens the pool of wireless users who can take advantage of Google's straightforward data plan pricing. The trade-off in not using a Fi-approved phone, though, comes with what network you'll use when accessing cellular connectivity.
Google Fi still lets you transfer your current cellphone number over to its service when you sign up.
What network does Google Fi use?
Like other mobile virtual network operators, or MVNOs, Google Fi relies on another carrier’s network to provide cellular coverage. In Google Fi’s case, a trio of carriers are used — Sprint, T-Mobile and regional carrier US Cellular. For Fi-certified devices, Google says its cellular services determines which carrier has the fastest network where you happen to be and connects you to that one. Should you relocate to an area where another carrier partner has better coverage, you’ll be switched over to the better connection.
But cellular coverage is only part of the Project Fi story. Similar to fellow MVNOs Republic Wireless and TextNow, Project Fi also delivers talk, text and data over VPN-protected public Wi-Fi hotspots when a wireless network is available. Again, Google promises seamless switching between Wi-Fi and cellular connections for its Fi-certified devices. And it’s that reliance on Wi-Fi that allows Project Fi to offer lower monthly bills compared to the major carriers.
Things work a little differently if you sign up for Google Fi with another Android device or an iPhone. In that case, your device will be restricted to either T-Mobile's network or Sprint's depending on how it's set-up. You'll also give up that seamless switching over to Google's network of Wi-Fi hotspots.
What are the best Google Fi plans?
Even with its new name and broader array of smartphone options, Google Fi keeps plans simple. You’ve got one plan option: Fi Basics, which provides unlimited talk and text (including international texting) for $20 a month.
But what about data? You estimate how much LTE data you’ll use each month, paying $10 for each GB. Let’s say you expect to use 3GB per month. That would tack on
