5 things to know about Project Fi
Say hello to fast speeds, easy communication and simple pricing.

1. Tap into a network of networks
   Project Fi uses new technology to give you better coverage by intelligently connecting you to the fastest network at your location whether it's Wi-Fi or our two LTE network partners.
2. Secure connections to fast, reliable Wi-Fi networks
   We automatically connect you to over a million Wi-Fi networks we've verified as fast and reliable. When we connect you to an open network, we secure your data through encryption.
3. Wi-Fi enabled calls provide even more coverage
   When you’re on the move, calls seamlessly transition between Wi-Fi and cellular, so you can keep your conversation going.
4. One simple plan
   Our plan starts with the Fi Basics for $20 per month, which includes: unlimited domestic talk and text, unlimited international texts, Wi-Fi tethering, and access to coverage in 120+ countries. Then it's $10 per GB for data. $10 for 1GB, $20 for 2GB, $30 for 3GB, and so on. That's it. With no annual contract required.
5. Never pay for unused data
   Our plan is designed to save you money. Let's say you go with 3 GB for $30 and only use 1.4 GB one month. You'll get $16 back — you only pay for what you use.

I have no fucking idea how much data I use.

Pity it only works on android

That's all I'll use.

$10 for 1GB of data is a complete ripoff. You'd think the fact that this is a Google initiative the data would be the selling point (i.e next to nothing).

I'm not mad about the little bump for the camera on the Nexus 5X there, but I suppose I can live with it.

or get a case that masks it

Shit. I've signed up already.

Well, it's cheaper than T-Mobile

Cell Phone Plans | Cheap Cell Phone Plans & Unlimited Data | T-Mobile
$60 for 3GB

Verizon is there or thereabouts

I think the hook is that you will only ever pay for what you use with Google.
Pay for 3 and use 1, and they'll refund you for the 2.

Definitely in comparison with Euro country rates. €20/month with Three here gets you unlimited 4G which you can pretty much use to your hearts content. I go through some ridiculous amounts of data tethering with my iPhone on a daily basis & never received any slap on the wrist from 3. (Although they do have a porn filter by default which was a nightmare to remove).

I went into the shop to get them to turn that off and they all sniggered at me. I didn't manage to get it switched off, it was too complicated

Shit. That's brilliant.

Honestly, I'm either at home or work for a lot of the time and it's all wifi there.
I plan on using the fucking shit out of Spotify now though.

It's [email protected] with a scan of an ID. It's not possible in-store.

Here's the fun I had:

I assume the blocker interferes with more than just porn, and you can live without looking at a pair of boobs on the bus ride home.

Yeah, it was just the one site I visit (can't remember what site exactly, think it was something usenet related). Three do however have a block on the big torrent search engines but that's based on the high court/IRMA action imposed upon the ISPs here.

Still is. The filter can be a pain in the hole at times. I rang India at one stage to get it removed but it was too much hassle so I just gave up. Plus you can't help but feel like a sleaze asking to remove a filter.
