Since T-Mobile and Sprint have merged, not sure what value Google Fi brings, given there are so many cheaper MVNOs in the market.

Good price for the 2020 Moto G Power at $49. It appears the Fi credits only appears after 60 days. If you don't use data, 1st month $20, the 2nd month covered by referral, you should get at least 2 more months of service with the credit. So $70 + tax for up to 4 months of service.

Up to 4 free data-only lines if you have an unlimited data plan. (or pay per GB otherwise). Good international service as well. I also think it's a little more secure than some other MVNOs since I have 2FA on my google account. But I wish it were cheaper, of course.

Do you get a refund of these promotional credits (back to credit card) if you cancel service after promo terms for credit are satisfied?

Not bad for keeping service for just 60 days. You can potentially get 2nd month free by using a referral code from any existing FI user. I've been a long time Do customer and have no complains

Did they change the requirements? I thought it was 3 months of service required and you could then port out. You could also get one $20 credit so if you use zero data or phone in a drawer, that would be one month free. (Minus taxes) So $49 for phone and $40 for service using zero data for 3 months.

Different promo. Before was 3 mos of service to get upfront discount on phones. This one you're rebated the cost of the phone in Fi credits. Except now they lowered the price of the 2020 Gs so they can upsell the 2021s.

So you now only have to stay with them 60 days to get the 2020 G Power for $49?

for someone like me who doesn't want to switch carriers this still sounds like a good deal if your willing to wait 2 months to use your own phone number and different carrier. you must buy a number that can be ported from ebay then get the cheapest plan and not use the service then cancel.

based on my math (correct me if i'm wrong):

+$49 fi credit
+$20 referral credit
-$49 phone purchase
-$35 for 2 months (2 line plan)
-$11 buy a phone number to port on ebay

total cost: $26 per phone for 4.8 months of service (with FI credit) then cancel or $75 without the Fi credit and cancel in 2 months


make sure not to pull the sim card out until day 61 or you get charged the full price of the phone.

for $20 Fi Credit use my referral link: https://g.co/fi/r/RC0UJ4

Do credits end if you swap SIM after day 61? Interesting the longer you keep the line, the cheaper the phone is. I'm committed to Mint 6 months till June I think so I'd probably jump after 61 days. If I can swap SIM card to Mint after 61 days I'd be down to keep it for a while. But like most, it's hard to put in a drawer for months and not use if I'm already on another plan. Still, tempting.
