yes you can, 100% sure.

I contacted Fi support a few days ago and they stated that all carriers are allowed for the promo except for porting from Fi or Google Voice. It's possible their terms have changed. I suggest you contact Fi support yourself and get something in writing before you attempt to port in from Voice for the promo.
02-03-2022 at 07:57 AM
I contacted Fi this morning and they said GG voice is not eligible and they do not consider it as an external carrier, so better be safe and get another number. If you already put in a GG voice number, they are happy to cancel that port in number and you can port another number that is eligible without cancelling the order.
btw, if you need a discount code for $20 plan credit, useN711VV or PM me, ordered one yesterday and so excited for the new phone

You can use a Google Voice number to qualify for the deal, just make sure you unlock your google voice number before you attempt to port it over. https://www.google.com/voice/unlock
I have used a google voice number 2 times in the past and 1 time for this deal. Other people saying you can't are full of shit.
Free month of google fi/$20 credit https://g.co/fi/r/7AW1H1 or promo code 7AW1H1
#1. Get a phone number (to be safe, from a non T-Mobile provider) that is in a new area code that isn't anywhere near where you live or have ever lived. This way you should get very few wrong numbers (because the odds of it being a recycled number are low) and if scammers try the "call from a local number" trick...well it's not a local number to you, so you can ignore.
#2. Port number to Google Fi and get the promotion. Make sure the Google Fi sim sees some use for the next 120 days. Schedule a call once every other Sunday from the Google Fi number. The Google Fi sim MUST be in the S21 when you make these calls, do NOT put it in another phone.
#3. If T-Mobile lets you use an esim in the S21, you're all set. You can keep the Google Fi sim in the sim tray and use T-Mobile as an esim. Make sure to set esim as primary for everything (calls, texts, data). If you can't use T-Mobile as an esim, then you'll need to swap the sims every so often, so Google sees that the S21 is active on their service. Note that even if it was possible to activate Google Fi as an esim on the phone, I wouldn't until the 120 days is up. Reason being is that others have had issues with other providers because they (providers) are looking for a specific IMEI, which is IMEI1 and is the one for the physical sim. You're asking for trouble if you assume the system knows that two different IMEIs are for the same phone.
#3.5. Assuming you get dual sim working (physical sim for Google Fi and esim for T-Mobile), the Google Fi number would be great to use as a burner line for things like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Tinder, etc. If you start getting a lot of nuisance calls, just do an unconditional forward to a junk Google Voice number you have.
Let us know if this actually works.
If you're mostly on wifi and don't use a lot of data then Google Fi can be cheap alternative. They do have unlimited plans but it's expensive. Google Fi is great for those that use under 2GB of data. Me and my wife average $60 a month for two lines.
The plan is $20 at least and it will be $25ish after tax.

I know nothing about their plans and phones. What is the total cost after 120 days of service, is it unlocked, can it be used on cricket with wifi calling? ..and of course, is this a slick deal? Also, where is the current best place to buy a portable number? Ty tu
Assuming I want to use this phone on my current T-Mobile plan could I open a separate account on Google Fi with the $25/month plan just to keep open for 120 days? How would I get a number to port to Google Fi if I want to keep on my current plan?
