When multiple carriers are available, Project Fi will move you to the network that our analysis shows will be fastest in your current location, whether that is 4G LTE, 3G, or 2G. We’re constantly learning and improving, to account for factors such as newly-built towers or newly-available radio frequencies. And if your current network is providing weak or no coverage, we’ll adjust in real time to find you a stronger connection.

Yes, you can bring the Pixel, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X or Nexus 6 you already use to Project Fi. When you sign up, you'll have the option to get a free SIM card shipped to you.

Pixel, the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6 are the first smartphones that support Project Fi's network of networks. We currently only support these devices.

Cellular networks use various network types and groups of radio frequencies to send and receive data. The cellular radio inside these devices work with all the 4G LTE networks in the US and many around the world—unlike the radios in other smartphones which work with fewer network types. One way to think about it: imagine if your car radio only supported AM or FM radio instead of both!

The SIM card in your smartphone contains the information needed for your device to connect to cellular networks. We teamed up with our partners to develop a SIM card that supports access to multiple networks.

A Pixel, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, or Nexus 6 purchased from Project Fi is under manufacturer’s warranty for one year following purchase of the device. If your new phone is defective and you report it within this time period, Project Fi will replace the phone at no cost.

Project Fi offers device protection for the Pixel, Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X. With device protection, you can quickly get your phone replaced in the event of accidental damage (including drops, cracks, and spills), or mechanical breakdown (beyond the 1-year manufacturer’s warranty period). If you purchase a Pixel, Nexus 6P or Nexus 5X from Project Fi, you can enroll it in device protection during checkout or within 30 days of when the device ships. For more details, visit our Help Center.

Yes, so long as you have enough remaining credit to finance the extra devices. You can find your credit line amount in your Fi account, or when you go through the checkout process.

Yes.

Our one simple plan starts with the Fi Basics for $20/month. It includes unlimited domestic talk and text, unlimited international texts, Wi-Fi tethering to use your phone as a hotspot, and access cellular coverage in 135+ countries and destinations.

We recommend you set your data budget based on your past data usage. Check out the video below if you need help figuring out how much data you normally use. Our pricing provides you control of your data amount and saves you money by crediting you dollars back for unused data. You can change your budget for the next month whenever you want, so don't worry about getting it right the first time around.

If your data usage at the end of the month is less than your data budget, you'll get a credit for approximately one cent per MB. For example, if your data budget is 2GB and you use 1.265GB, you'll get a $7.35 credit.

The value of your unused data is applied as a credit toward your next month's bill. For example, if your data budget is 3GB and you use 2.2GB, you'll get $8 (for 800MB of unused data) to use next month to lower your bill.

Project Fi will first alert you if you're getting close to your data budget. If you go over, you'll still get full-speed data and data is charged at the same $10 per GB rate. For example, if you go over your data budget by 350MB, $3.50 will be added to your next bill.

No you are not charged for the data you use when connected to open or home Wi-Fi. We only charge $10 per GB for the cellular data you use.

Project Fi does not charge any extra monthly fees to use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your data with any Wi-Fi-compatible device. The data you share with other devices will count toward your monthly data usage.

No, there is no annual service contract required when you sign up.

Taxes and government surcharges vary per state, but are normally between 10-20%. For example, if your monthly bill is $40, the taxes on your statement could be between $4-8.

We do not charge any fees if you leave Project Fi. If you buy a new device when you sign up for Project Fi and choose to pay for your device over time, the remaining monthly payments on your device are due if you leave Project Fi.

If you’re new to Project Fi you can set-up a Group Plan during your checkout process. Just have the intended plan owner click “Join Fi” above to get started.

If you’re already a part of Project Fi you can invite people to your plan through here.

Once you accept the invite we’ll automatically close your old account and move your number over. Your service will not be interrupted. You’ll still be able to view your old account & bills by clicking “View previous account” on your account page.

You can continue your device protection in the new account (or cancel at any time). If you are financing a device, you must pay it off in its entirety before joining a Group Plan.

Just like with individual plans, at the start of every month you’ll pay for Fi Basics, and your data allowance. With Group Plans, each additional member will be charged $15 for Fi Basics. The plan owner will be charged $20. Data costs the same $10/GB with credits for what you don’t use.

In order to own a group plan you must be at least 18 years old. People 13+ can join as members. Both members and owners must have consumer Google accounts to join.

Anyone aged 18 or older is able to purchase a device. Group Plan owners are the only ones eligible to finance devices or enroll them in device protection through Project Fi. Group Plan owners are eligible to finance multiple devices.

Project Fi connects you to free, open Wi-Fi networks that do not require any action to get connected (such as, enter a password, watch an ad, or check-in). We use a network quality database to help determine which networks are high quality and reliable.

When Project Fi automatically connects you to an open Wi-Fi network, we help protect your data by sending it through a secure connection, known as a Virtual Private Network (VPN). This secure connection protects your data from being looked at by other users on the open Wi-Fi network.

Yes, you're still in control of turning Wi-Fi on or off. If you turn off Wi-Fi you won’t be automatically connected to Wi-Fi hotspots. We recommend keeping Wi-Fi on.

When both network types are available, Project Fi will route your call over whichever network we determine will give you the best experience.

If you're using your Project Fi device, just make a call like you normally would using the phone dialer. If you're not using your Fi device and you've opted-in to use your number to talk and text on other devices, you can make calls over Wi-Fi using your number through Google Hangouts. If your call is connected over Wi-Fi, at the top of the screen you’ll see a Wi-Fi icon and the name of the network you’re connected to.

On your Project Fi device, if you start a call over Wi-Fi and then your connection weakens or drops (such as when you leave your home or office), Project Fi seamlessly transitions your call to a cellular network (if one is available) so you can keep talking.

If you're calling a US number over Wi-Fi, you're not charged any extra. If you're calling an international number, there's a per-minute charge that varies per country. Please check our international rates for more information.

Project Fi offers high speed data in over 135+ countries and destinations for the same $10/GB you pay in the U.S. For a complete breakdown of specific countries please check our International Rates.

Yes, if you're traveling to one of the 135+ destinations where we have coverage you can call and text internationally. Unlimited international texts are included in your plan.

Please check our international rates for more information.

No, Project Fi only supports talk, text, and data usage in the 135+ countries and territories where we have coverage. If you're traveling to a country that isn't included, you will need to get a local SIM card for that country for cellular coverage. We do this to protect you from surprise bills in places where we can't provide a $10 per GB data rate, 20c per minute calls, and unlimited international texts. However, in almost all countries you visit, you'll be able to call and text over Wi-Fi.

Yes, if you're in a country where we have coverage you can send and receive calls and texts with people who are in a country where we do not have coverage.
