How the heck are you supposed to order a new SIM on mobile? In the app if I go to shop it just gives me a limited list of devices to buy. If I go to the website in Chrome and tap "sign in" it just opens the shop tab in the Fi app. As far as I can tell there is no way to order a new SIM on mobile.
I just signed up for GoogleFi and ordered a new phone, but after I placed the order I noticed in the FAQ that I should have had an option to request a free SIM card when ordering: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6224695?hl=en#zippy=%2Corder-a-google-fi-sim-kit
If I click the link in that FAQ to order a card, it just takes me to my account page, but I don't see a separate option to order the free card. Does anyone know how I can do that since I've already gone through the sign-up process?
EDIT: I should note, I did buy a new phone during the signup process, if that matters at all.
I want to buy a tablet that has a SIM (Amazon link) It's not verified that it works, I can always return it, so I want to order the SIM so I have it ready to test the tablet.
My main problem is, I can't figure out how to get the SIM.
I go to "Shop" and at the bottom is Get a Fi SIM. That prompts for "Order a free SIM" but mentions switching phones. I'm keeping my phone, the tablet will not be logged in to my main account. I created a Tablet@Gmail account, so do I select "Add a Member"? That then asks about the phone when I say they are bringing their own device. There are no tablet options listed. There is a brand "none" and "Phone1" option, which would get me a SIM, but I'm not sure this is the correct way to get a data only SIM for a tablet.
Solved: I need to upgrade plans to get the data only SIM.
