I went to public schools, so I don't math so good. But 3 lines are $5 cheaper than 2. 4 lines same price as 2
International data comes out of your regular plan...so if you are unlimited, its full 5G at unlimited (50G max before restriction)...I am in AU right now, and my FI phone just works. I have been in many countries in this trip, and FI as just worked everywhere, whereas my TMobile line needed added plans to get high speed international, and its expensive. FI wins by far on this one. I am using my FI phone as my music streamer in the car, and my GPS phone, and burning through data but not worrying about it. Its great.
It's individual per the FAQ

"What if an individual on my plan needs significant amounts of high speed data?
If you use more than 15 GB of data on Flexible, more than 35 GB on Simply Unlimited, or more than 50 GB on Unlimited Plus in a cycle, you'll experience slower speeds (256 kbps) above those respective data thresholds until your next billing cycle begins. For reference, only 1% of Fi users ever hit 35 GB in a cycle.

If you need significant amounts of high-speed data, you can opt to pay $10/GB for the data you use past the data threshold for your plan in a given cycle (15 GB for Flexible, 35 GB for Simply Unlimited, or 50 GB for Unlimited Plus).

These data thresholds are based on individual data usage, not group data usage."

The 480p video streaming is the main downside I see to the unlimited data. My grandfathered TMobile gives me highest quality video.

"What is the video streaming quality on my plan?
Google Fi's goal is to optimize all streaming video. On Flexible, video streams at the rate determined by you and the application provider. On Simply Unlimited or Unlimited Plus, Fi attempts to optimize video by streaming at up to 480p (standard definition). Video from some content providers may not be automatically optimized on Simply Unlimited and Unlimited Plus. If you're a content provider and your video service is not automatically optimized, please contact us at [email protected]."

mostly tmobile. with a dash of spring and us cellular
i joined around a year ago. this just saved me $15/month plus some tethering and higher limits. Can't remember personally getting more for less, WITHOUT A HASSLE in all my years of various cell phone plans and providers.

Not better than Cricket grandfathered unless you use a lot of data as the Fi plan has additional charges (taxes), don't know how much though

The only blocking factor is the additional charges (taxes). I refuse to deal with any more mvnos and providers that don't charge a flat rate.

No, Fi takes the tax and Cricket doesn't.

I was about to say the same thing, but the base price doesn't include fees/taxes.

Are you serious?! I just renewed 3x annual Mint Mobile plans this week.
$15/line/mo with 4GB comes to $202 or so with fees. So a bit cheaper, but at $25/line for 3, Fi is a heck of a lot better plan. Frown guess I'll stop back in next April.

Fi's plans were crazy competitive when they launched; international service included? pay for what you use?

I signed up for them along with partner and it just didn't pencil out with what prepaid carriers were offering at half the price.

Then they didn't update them for a decade. Their plans haven't been competitive in 5 years for anything domestic after the major carriers dropped texting fees and threw data/calls/etc. into a big bucket which they ultimately were anyway before their marketing. These new plans are not competitive for 1-2 lines, which is where most of their growth would come from if their product/pricing were superior. Too little, 5 years late, typical Google product support.

This beats the promo price we have from Metro (4lines unlim $100/mo) on almost all points other than half the tethering which we rarely even use anyway. Very tempted to switch to gain us cellular backup and voicemail transcription.

For family plans, does data slow after 35GB on the account or 35GB for each line?
