IS PROJECT FI FOR YOU

Back in January I reviewed Google’s new cellular service called Project Fi. I happened to fall in love with Google’s own cellular service for its great pricing, excellent coverage, fast responding customer service(based in the US), and simplicity. While I gave my opinion on it, there are so many variables that come into play when picking a wireless provider.

It’s well known that Verizon has the best coverage in the US hands down. The major downside to Verizon is its CDMA network which doesn’t allow for compatibility for many phones, and its higher priced data plans

T-Mobile users love their unlimited data, no overage fees, free streaming videos and music, and free giveaways. Yet the general consensus about T-Mobile is that its coverage is not as wide spread as Verizon and AT&T.

AT&T users arguably have the best of both worlds, with pricing that falls in between T-Mobile’s and Verizon’s, but there is also a wide selection of phones to choose from. In addition, AT&T’s mobile network is considered second best to Verizon’s.

Sprint also uses CDMA technology and offers great pricing on its plans, but has been struggling lately. Other than pricing, its network is limited and is quietly being forgotten by consumers in the US.Back in January I reviewed Google’s new cellular service called Project Fi.

Google shocked us all last year with its announcement that it would be entering the carrier providing realm with Project Fi. For the vast majority of us, we are locked into two-year contracts or smartphone leasing options that make it very difficult for us to switch carriers. That’s why you have to rely on writers like me to give you the low down on Project Fi.

While Project Fi isn’t for everyone, especially those who consume more than 3GB of data a month, it is a great option for those who care about simplicity with great pricing.

Now that Project Fi has been out for just about a year now, there are thousands of users who have given it a try. So far the feedback is pretty unanimous with the vast majority of users giving Project Fi a five star rating.

Actual Project Fi consumers are happy with the broad coverage they are receiving, in combination with the ability to make calls and send texts over WiFi which helps save on data consumption. They’re also extremely happy with paying for data that they actually use, which costs just $10 per GB of data after the $20 service fee for unlimited calls and text messages
