air- posted:Looking at switching to Fi - how well do the data only sims work abroad? They work great. I have one for my wife, a couple for myself and one for my mother. They all use them in different countries (US, Canada, Netherlands and Kenya) and as long as data roaming is turned on they work perfectly. You just have to activate them all yourself.

Does anyone know how well iPhones do on Fi? I know they don't do the network switching, but what about wifi calling? Does that work at all?

treat posted:what's the trick to getting MMS to work on Fi phones, then? For the first two years I had Fi I'd get every reply to an MMS as a private text messages from every participant individually. That's been fixed in the meantime but does anybody know what that was about? I had that issue until a couple weeks ago. It’s a setting/“feature”. So you can send mass texts and get replies back individually. Which I assume is useful for some reason. In Messages go to the three dot menu, then settings, google fi (might only be needed if you use more than 1 sim) and “group messaging” is at the top. I had it set as group messages in Fi and Mass Text on my Canadian sim. Which made it even more confusing. It doesn’t seem very intuitive.

Edit: Didn’t know about the other levels of data plans. Apparently I’m not on the cheapest one.

smoobles posted:Pixel 5 question: I'm stuck in Canada (from USA) with a bad phone plan (Google Fi Flexible) Yes to all of that. Unfortunately all Canadian wireless carriers are stupidly expensive. And you can’t get just a data only sim as a prepaid/standalone, because Canadian wireless carriers are stupid (if you do find one, post it, because I’ve been looking for one for a while). I used Google fi as my primary plan in Canada for years before finally getting a Canadian plan to supplement it (using fongo for texts and calls was unreliable at best) because it was much cheaper.

Works fine anywhere in Canada. I used to used it instead of a Canadian phone plan and I lived out east

Finger Prince posted:Did you have any issues with them getting funny about using their service primarily not in the US? We just got it and I'll be splitting my time between Seattle and Vancouver. I used it for almost a year as my primary plan, with few trips to the US. The only time it became an issue was when it was being used only as for data with no trips to the us for a long time (COVID). Then they cut off her data roaming, but should that happen they'll reinstate it after a length of time in the us. You're not likely to have any problems.
