Be careful as Fi wants the number you ported to be on this phone to get the $600 discount. They check nightly and they find out the number is on other phone then they will charge the $600 on your CC after 4 months. I got the Pixel 6 when it was for 399 and used the Fi SIM on my Essential PH1 and got a notification that Promo guidelines not met and they would charge the discounted amount to my CC.

Many of us got this deal not to keep GFi but to get the phone cheap accounting for the 4mo usage and terminating after that. Getting an unlocked S22+ for less than $500 total with no trade-in. No complications.

Leave the GFi sim in and use your regular service via the eSim as the primary since it comes unlocked. The Google Fi app shows the countdown timer to 120 days and them you port your number back to Google voice.

No need to make it unnecessarily complicated.

Unless you live in a State without tax and fee you will NEVER get $20 a month

More realistic is somewhere between $23- $26 which end up to $92 - $104

Calls are not any different than calls over Tmo. There is nothing specific to GFi for these calls over the Tmo network. But you are subject to Tmo coverage issues if any.

If you use mobile data, you shouldn't be buying the $20/mo plan unless it is occasional between WiFi spots in daily use. For people, who use WiFi most of the time, they don't need to pay for what they don't use. Other carriers are very expensive for this for single lines.

You can buy some other prepaid virtual carriers that might be better fit but they don't come with the international roaming features or free international SMS of GFi.
Please correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Simply Unlimited plan (used to be $30/mo) is now only $20? This includes unlimited data (thrott >35GB). So I don't get why people are saying that you have to pay something like $10/GB for data? Help the confused.

Not sure what's getting confused here.

The individual $20 is called the Flex plan. It includes no data. If you use any data on this plan, you will be charged $10 per GB(prorated, I believe).

There is no individual $20 plan that includes data.

I am presently on the Flex plan with the s22, base model.

My 3rd time on this plan, over the years, with various phones purchased.

$20/line if you have 4 lines. Otherwise, $50/line.

Not everybody has 4 people or even 2 people they are buying for as a group.

The carriers really screw you if you just want one line because they want a minimum ARPU per account.

$20/line with occasional use is great for single line with pay as you use flexibility for data.

So for the GFi family plan..does each line has a separate billing like visible? I am on visible right now but the data is slower in my area and looking for cheap alternative.

Only the group owner pays the bill. Each member can get the discount buying the phone if they are new to Fi.

Duh. I was looking at 4 lines. So this is a great deal for 4 lines. I don't think any major carrier can touch this right?

Not on a everyday basis with other carriers but Tmobile often has deals for additional lines and it is possible to get 4 lines of their basic service around that price.

That's just basic US law? No one can send you something you didn't order then try and charge you for it. That would be fraud. They also can't try and make you send it back. Just common sense.

Purely to get Sd'ers recommendations, which one is a good one b/w s22 or s22+ or ultra (based on value for money). I wanted to get on the pixel line but until the tensor chips get matured, I am thinking to stick with Samsung
I say S22+.

S22 has battery life issues.
S22 Ultra is too think and big. Unless you need the note pencil feature or the Super Zoom cameras it's not worth it.

Google Fi didn't validate the $500 rebate 30 days later, it was due to the port-in process taking over 2 weeks, and I thought I would lose my old phone number.
