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...

Google's Phone Service Is Only For the Nexus 6 Phone



                 



Google was at MWC this week and the exec Sundar Pichai did confirm the rumors of the company planning to launch their own phone service sometime soon.  But according to report claim from Wall Street Journal, this phone service might only be available right now with the latest Nexus phone the Nexus 6 which was a collaboration with Motorola Mobility which has now joined forces with the China company Lenovo.  Unfortunately, Google phone service will not work with the older Nexus devices such as the Nexus 5 or 4.  This service will allow users to use cellular and WiFi connections with the cell networks of Sprint and T-Mobile for service.  So what do you all think of this move and rumors from Google? Are you all interested for the new service? Are you now planning to get a Nexus 6? Does it matter if T-Mobile or Sprint networks are even included?  Leave all comments down below.  Share your thoughts.
