Is GoogleFi actually good?
Looking for an honest opinion
Google Fi review
Having second thoughts about Google Fi
Videos
I thought I'd save someone time and money and give an honest review of Google Fi services. I really wanted to love it, but.... I'm switching back to at&t. I'm in NJ and NYC area.
Pro's: good connection overseas, no issues connecting to network upon arrival to Europe ( compared to At&t ), no international data charges.
Con's: spotty connection, no connection at all in specific areas. IT support is useless and openly mean at times. I contacted them when I discovered that I have no network connection at work watsoever - no phone calls, no data (never had this issue with at&t), 2 weeks and 5 IT support reps later - the issue still persists. Notification "Sim card is not provisioned" and "emergency calls only" is a normal thing. I have Google 7 pro phone and iPhone on the second line ( with the same issues).
I've been thinking about switching from Metrobyt to GoogleFi but I've seen some bad stories about it, would transferring to them be good? I don't know if this changes anything but we live in Florida and already have good coverage with T-Mobile and the free pixel 7a for all of us would be a good deal if everything goes right.
Edit: thank you for everyone telling me their experience, I'm going to order phones and switch services when my current plan is about to end. :)
Edit2:I'm glad people still post their experiences on this thread. it's been a year with the service and as everyone said if you don't have issues it's good, the phone has also been great after some updates. I hope I never have any problems.
I currently have Verizon and my wife and I are on my parent's plan because it's financially beneficial for all of us. But each of us are paying upwards of 175 a month because we have new device payment plans. I'm looking to switch away from Verizon but really like their service coverage.
Google-Fi prices are amazing and so I'm looking to possibly switch to them once my device is paid off next month and I'm looking to get a new Google Pixel through the Fi plan as well.
Can anyone provide an honest unbiased opinion on Google Fi, it's network coverage and reliability and it's downsides or upsides other than cheaper plans?
