seems like a decent deal. i'm having trouble understanding the 200$ credit: it seems to good to be true. the way i understand it: If i have an existing phone and sign up for FI then I get a 200$ credit, which means, if my monthly bill is say 45$ (20$+15$+10/gb) then i won't have to pay for the first 4.5 months?? wow, seems to good to be true.

i think the catch is: most phones aren't supported so you have to buy a relatively new phone to be elligble for it, right?


The other offer of giving travel reward seems too good to be true too.


Was on Project Fi. Now on Mint mobile. If T-mobile coverage is good in your area, Mint is the way to go. (25$ a month for 10GB data)


Looks like they are opening it up to most phones. I've been pretty happy with the service. The data isn't as cheap as I would like but the international data being the same price is a pretty big deal for me.

My promo code if anyone wants to signup ($20 statement credit) https://g.co/fi/r/72U5TT


Interesting. One of the cool parts about Fi has been the seamless switching between different cell networks, which as I understood it was reliant on hardware that was only available on certain phones (e.g. Nexus, Pixel). Apparently if you use Fi on a device that does not support network switching, you'll just be on T-Mobile's network:
