Is Google Fi Right For You?

MOTOROLA GOOGLE NEXUS 6 (In photo above) 

Google phone services is rolling out to consumers right now who have signed up and has the nexus 6 device. I am signed up and still waiting. But, while I wait and we all wait and say how great of a deal google has. So lets look at what you get with google.  Right now you must have a Nexus 6 on Sprint or T-Mobile.  Their data plans are $10 per GB. The Max is 10GB of data which is $100.  That's a lot of cash to be tossing out. But the good thing with google is that if you don't use that data up,  the money you haven't used you'll get it back as a credit. My thing is the pricing. Ok. For what I have right now including a nexus 6 on t mobile and a ipad mini 3 as well. I have unlimited talk and text for $25 a month plus data plan of 3gb of data for just $10/month and the data stash which gives me up to 10gb of data rolled over up to an year! Now all that alone beats google phone service. Now if that wasn't enough. Most of you all who read my articles on a regular know how much I talk about the freedompop service. Freedompop is under sprint and uses their towers to give out signal and free limited data. But there is something good out of the Freedompop data. I am able to receive at least 1500MB of data free each month! By having the 500 MB basic plan and adding family and friends to the freedom friends.  Also you can do free offers and watch free videos to earn free data each month. There are also two other plans you can add as well. The one plan or service is data rollover. Roll over 500mb of regular data you don't use each month.  This only cost $3.99 a month to do. So if you only use up 1GB of 1500, 500 will roll over plus your basic 500mb you started with. Also of that wasn't enough the other plan is the wifi hotspots which will allow you to connect to an starbucks or mcdonalds etc. automatic. This would just cost you only $4.99 per month. So as you can see its the small things for me that make a big difference. This why I feel google Fi wont work for me. Will the Google Fi service be a good fit for you? Leave all comments below.

Google Unveils Their Wireless Service As "Project Fi"

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:

Google's Wireless Service Might Be Announced On April 22

There hasn't been much else said from Google about their new anticipated Wireless service since early March.  But, according to the Wall Street Journal, Google is rumored to announce this service as soon as April 22.  For those of you that dont know, Google is teaming up with Sprint and T-Mobileto give the consumers the ability to switch from either network depending on which out of the 2 signals is stronger than the other in a area.  Google service is also to use Wifi networks for cells and data as well. 

Google is also to allow its customers to only pay for what they have used.  Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Most carriers just want you to pay out a flat rate each month even if you don't use all of your data or minutes or text.

The only thing might run the customers away from this service is that you must own or buy a Nexus 6 smartphone. Atleast that is what the plan was originally set for. 

As of now, all of this is just rumors.  Not for sure or certain that Google will announce this service on April 22.  While we also know that Google's I/O developer conference is right around the corner, having Google to make an announcement on April 22 will be a thrill to see and hear.

So, what do you all think about Google's new wireless service and its options? Is this all you would need to switch?  Do you own a Nexus 6? Will you buy one now to get Google's service?  Leave the comments below...
