I am curious if I missed a warning from someone on another network.
So are you saying you used your Visible SIM in your Pixel 4a 5g immediately after Google Fi SIM activiation and cleared the promo terms? Have you ported our of Google Fi on your Pixel 4a 5g yet?
That is why I am so curious about where all the fear is coming from. I wonder if it was just a few random bad experiences, or if the people who got hit were on a specific carrier, or what. I certainly don't want to lose the $600 discount here, and I most certainly don't want to have to deal with Google's abysmal customer service ever again in my life. But I also want to set up the new phone and move on. (I hated that Pixel 4a 5g). I am prepared to keep my Fi account active for 90 days and pay. That seems like it should be enough.

It seems to me that the Google Fi system will NOT detect that your Samsung device is NOT in active use with the Fi service automatically, therfore the remaining days is counting down as normal. In my particular situation, I contacted the Google Fi representative about why my Fi credit not applied to my monthly bill, as a result, he or she looked into my account carefully and manually noticed that my Samsung phone was not in active use with the Fi service. In other words, I should not have any problem if I didn't contact the Google Fi representative. I agree with you that I don't want to deal with Google's abysmal customer service ever again in my life. It's too much hassle to get this deal. I wish I didn't see this deal at all.
I actived the S20 with Fi SIM and used it for about one week. Then factory reset the phone and use my Tmobile SIM in it for about another week. Fi SIM is in my draw, never used in another phone. The days counting is normal, 74 more days.
Today, I chatted with the Fi representative about my Fi credit not applied to my monthly bill. He or she particularly mentioned that the device was not active with Google Fi. Here is the transcript of the chat:
I suggest you to please resume your services and stay active with Fi to get Fi credits.
Yes, however I see that the device is not active with Google Fi.
Please inform member to activate Fi services on Samsung device.
From our end it shows that member activate the Fi services on different device model.
If he is not activate the fi services on Samsung device you will be charged $600.
Based on my understanding, Google may not know what network service is used in the Samsung device, but they definitely know it is NOT used in Fi.

I put in the EIN for the S20 on the EIN checker and it said it would work. I have not put in the Sprint sim though.

I believe they will be sending users a new SIM when we are forced to switch to GSM VoLTE
For others on Tello, you'll want to see if you are GSM ready via https://tello.com/new-gsm-network
I already have Mint paid for 6 months with 10gb data.
If I use Fi for 90 days cost to me would be 70x3=210
If I don't use Fi and just keep it open. It is 23x3= 70
That's $140 difference for me.
