Google Fi review

Google Fi is not the cheapest unlimited option, but its Flexible plan is one of the few true pay-for-what-you-use plans from a major brand. You pay $20 a month for one line plus $10 per GB of data, which works well if you use under a gigabyte or two. The unlimited tiers cost $35, $50 and $65 a month for one line, with 30 GB, 50 GB and 100 GB of high-speed data. Unlimited Standard includes 25 GB of hotspot, and Premium includes 50 GB of hotspot and up to 50 GB of high-speed data abroad in 200+ destinations. Every plan includes advanced spam call blocking, VPN by Google, Google Account security and 24/7 support. When we checked, bringing a Pixel phone earned 50% off for 12 months. Taxes and government fees are extra, and for one person who wants unlimited data at home, Visible, Mint and Boost cost less.
