What is Google Fi?​

Google Fi is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service that provides calls, short message service (SMS) which is also known as text messaging, and mobile broadband using cellular networks and Wi-Fi. As an MVNO, Google Fi operates on T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular networks but is not owned by those companies.

What carrier does Google Fi use?​

What networks does Google Fi actually use, then? In the U.S., Fi uses a combination of T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular (so eventually just T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular, since Sprint and T-Mobile are in the process of becoming one and the same).
Unlimited data and texts in the US, plus over 200 international countries or regions. Free calls to over 50 countries, regions, or territories from the US and affordable calls to other destinations. Up to 50 GB of free, unmetered data. Data speed is slowed to 256 kbps after 50 GB of use per member.

Do I need a SIM for Google Fi?​

Setting up your device Next, Google Fi requires a special SIM card. You can either buy a new phone with this SIM card when you sign up for Fi, or Google will ship you a free SIM card to put in your existing phone and activate.

Does Google Fi work without Wi-Fi?​

You’ll no longer be paying for mobile data, and calls and texts will work just as they do on mobile data. You can even continue your phone call as your phone switches between carrier and Wi-Fi networks. There is one caveat: Although Google Fi works with most unlocked phones, they won’t be able to do network switching.
The short answer: yes—for people who only want to pay for the data they use. But for others, Google Fi can easily end up being more expensive than it should be. Google Fi’s single plan gives you unlimited talk and text for a flat fee of $20 a month, plus $10 per GB of data you use in a month, which caps at $60 a month.
