Today Google announced their official Wireless Service "Project Fi". Instead of them going solo and creating their own Network. Google has teamed up with T-Mobile and Sprint and Wifi connectivity to make their services work for everyone. So Project Fi will allow to call and text over wifi due to the absence of LTE service.
The point Project Fi is to allow its customers to connect to Google's million hotspot networks. So the Fi customers will be able to connect to these hotspots automatically. Don't worry, your data will remain encrypted even over wifi.
Using the Wifi connectivity will benefit Project Fi's customers for when Google credits you for your unused data. For the basic plan, it will be $20 a month for talk, text, wi-fi tethering and international coverage. If you feel you need to use T-Mobile and Sprint's network, you will pay $10 per 1GB that you feel you need. If you dont use the data, Google will refund you for the amount you dont use. For instance, you have only used 1GB of 3GB data, Google will refund you $20. The Project Fi customers will only pay for what they have used.
For now Google is only allowing this service only on the Nexus 6 smartphone on T-Mobile and Sprint. As of now, this just exclusively to those owners and customer for the EAP. You can get your early access here:
