Having second thoughts about Google Fi
What is Google Fi?
What network is Google Fi using?
What networks does Google Fi Wireless use?
Google Fi Wireless uses T-Mobile's network to provide its base coverage and an extended "network of networks" that includes US Cellular to provide further coverage for certain phones.
If your phone is compatible, it will switch between network providers automatically depending on which service will provide the best coverage in your area. This is only available for phones "Designed for Fi," however, which includes Google Pixel phones as well as many Android models.

Yes, I know Google Fi has a coverage map. Coverage maps lie. The map looks only granular at the zip code level.
I talked to customer service and they are 100% confident I will have great coverage. I have trouble believing them unless they have sent someone to my house.
Verizon and AT&T before them said they have good coverage at my house. They don't.
Signing up my family and porting a bunch of numbers before I can find this out seems like a major pain.
