Project Fi is a mobile virtual network operator owned by Google, providing wireless phone and data services using Wi-Fi and cellular networks belonging to Sprint and T-Mobile.[1][2][3]
Features
The service automatically switches between networks depending on signal strength and speed, and automatically connects to open Wi-Fi hotspots that meet a certain criteria while securing data with encryption through an automatic VPN. Phone calls, if placed over a Wi-Fi connection, will seamlessly transition to a cellular network if Wi-Fi coverage is lost.[4][5][6]
Plans
Monthly plans are paid at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle and start at $20.00 per month for unlimited voice and messaging and an additional $10.00 per GB of data. Unused data is credited $10.00/GB ($0.01/MB) on the customer's next invoice, while extra data is charged at $10.00/GB ($0.01/MB).[7]
Availability
Voice and data services are only available on compatible Nexus phones, beginning with the Nexus 6 phone and later on the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Data-only service with limited coverage is available on tablets including the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9[8][9][10] and also on non-Nexus devices such as the cellular network-compatible versions of the iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 4, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S.[11] On March 7, 2016, the service became available to anyone in the U.S.[12] living in a zip code that has coverage.[13]
