Google Fi's 50 percent off promo is mainly attractive for low monthly pricing on multiple lines, especially when paired with strong T Mobile based service and easy eSIM activation through the Fi app. The plan can work well on iPhone and Android, and some setups report smooth porting and solid speeds. The main catches are that Unlimited Essentials has no hotspot tethering in the support docs, data slows hard after the allotment, and promo eligibility can be finicky with invite timing, line transfers, and new customer rules. Taxes, fees, and international data costs can also change the value quickly.
Common Questions (5)
The promo can apply to multiple lines, but each invited user must accept the invite before the promotion deadline. If a line is not accepted in time, that line may miss the discount even if the order was placed before the cutoff.
Yes, you can swap the SIM, but newer phones often use eSIM, so the Google Fi app may need to transfer the line to eSIM instead. If the phone was previously configured for another carrier, a factory reset or network reset can help it configure correctly.
A new Fi customer is someone who has never had Fi service or whose last day of Fi service was more than 180 days before the purchase. The phone number also appears to need to be off Google Fi for about 6 months before it is treated as new.
Unlimited Essentials has no hotspot tethering capability, so you cannot use your phone as a hotspot on that plan. A later comment says hotspot tethering was added about a month ago, so the feature may now be present but not clearly disclosed in the plan details.
Sign up for the plan first, then use the Google Fi Android or iOS app to finish eSIM setup. Android is described as seamless, while iPhone setup requires switching between the Fi app and iOS Settings to complete activation.

message me if you have any questions i use FI a lot.
Edit: Checking around on reddit, it seems like its doable to port out and back in, as long as the email (gmail) used to sign up is different. Neat.
The porting was very easy once TM was convinced they could not entice us to stay and gave us the 'port-out' PINs.
My wife and I have older Samsung S9+ phones with Android 10 that were previously on T-Mobile. For us, despite being told 'yes' in the app itself, there was never any TM-style Visual Voice Mail (one of the great benefits for TM (when it works)).
Then this week I get an email that says that in a week they will no longer support Wi-Fi calling on our phones because they're 'too old' and don't support Android 11. We have no cell service from anyone at our house, and Wi-Fi calling/texting is the only way the phones work. I've been on the plan about 30 days.
The email was very unclear, and I'm not certain whether the voicemail-to-text feature will continue working. I guess we'll see in a week.
We are retired on a fixed income and cannot currently afford to buy two new (or even used) phones.
I don't have any idea what I'm going to do, but be aware that the terms Google-Fi give you can change in a heartbeat, and for some reason never to your benefit.
If Wi-Fi calling and texting disappears along with voicemail to text also gone, I'm going to cancel the plan as soon as I find another cell company that supports the phones.

I have the 15 month half price plan on two phones (one month in). Can I just stick the old SIM from my current S9 phones into the S22 phones I buy and go on with my life, or is there some kind of drama that needs to be dealt with?
Thanks.

but the newphones have esim. so use the google fi app and it will transfer the line to the esim.
EDITED TO FIX ANDROID LEVEL - IT'S ANYTHING BELOW 11, NOT BELOW 10.

The rep had verified I would be getting the discount on BOTH lines, yet he blatantly omitted saying I had to accept the invite and log in on the 2nd line before that previous Sept 18 9:59 AM PST deadline (which was within the hour). He also knew I wouldn't even be receiving my 2 SIM cards (phones not eSIM compat) until Sept 23, 5 days later.
So now I received the discount only on the 1st line, but not the 2nd and will now cancel that line.
Connectivity via the hotspot has been the pits and totally useless when trying to use a VPN (which Goggle warns about in their docs). No issues at all when I switch to my other ISP's hotspot connection.

He told me all that I had to do to get the promo on both lines was activate both lines before 30 days. He omitted the 'accept invitation within that hour' part. Makes no sense to have to "accept an invitation" when I am the one ordering TWO lines and order was completed.
