Testing (and living with) with Google's Project Fi
So even though I work in the media business, I’m annoyed by my high bills. Particularly from my
MVPD (that’s media speak for cable company) and my cell phone bill. See, I get a bit of a stipend from my company for my phone bill, but it doesn’t come close to covering my bill I had with Verizon, no matter what I tried, M-L-XL-XXL, etc. in their never ending changing plan system.
So one night in January 2017 I figured, what the hell, I’d give Google’s Project Fi a try. For those who don’t know, Project Fi was launched by Google a while back to give people an alternative from their wireless carrier. (The “Fi” is for “Wi-Fi”.) Basically you get a new SIM card for eligible phones (*a big caveat), and your phone uses either Wi-Fi, or an available cell network (Sprint or T-Mobile) to route your voice calls, texts, or data. The best thing is the no risk billing.
(Let me be perfectly upfront and transparent–I am not being paid for this at all, I signed up like any other person would.)
The gist of it is, you pay $20 per line, and then $10 per GB of data you use. If you use more, you pay that percentage of the $10, if you pay less than you signed up for, you get a credit on next month’s bill. Simple, right? In addition, Project Fi tries to connect you to Wi-Fi as often as possible, secured by VPNs as much as possible, to save that data. And it is meant to switch between wireless networks and Wi-Fi seamlessly. And it works overseas as well at the same rate.
I’ll be testing this all out.
*The big caveat is that unless you are a big Google nerd, you may not have a compatable phone. Basically if you have a Pixel or a Nexus 5x or 6p, you are good. All other phones dont.
Now, I’ve had Project Fi for approximately 27 minutes, it’s January 27, and I will let you know how I like it. I can confirm that I can get a call on my phone still. And that Verizon has not send a team of goons to rough me up after porting my number. Yet.
Guess what–if you want to try and use this link, I get like $20 credit on my bill. I didn’t even know this existed when I started randomly writing this, and it was not why I wrote this, but give it a try! (And if you don’t want to click on creepy links, I get it, maybe give it a try anyway. You can always go back to big Telecom. That’s what I’m figuring. https://g.co/fi/r/A5E57V
