- z2 9y agoI can't speak to any agreements or conditions of use, but technically you need only a supported Google phone to activate the SIM card and tie it to a Google account. Afterwards, the card works in any phone.
- jgh 9y agoFair enough, but that means I have to find someone who has one of those phones ;)
- pasbesoin 9y agoMy Nexus 5X (purchased through Fi, by the way, but recently using my Verizon SIM because of certain network coverage, etc.) bootlooped. I'm waiting for the Pixel 2, unless I decide on something else, and I picked up a Motorola G5+ to tide me over until then or I "unbootloop" the 5X and decide I can trust it. Anyway, comments on Amazon and/or Newegg about using the G5+ on Fi state that it works but that calls can only be made on the T-Mobile network. IIRC -- this wasn't a factor, for me, so I didn't make a mental note to self to particularly remember that detail.
- e40 9y agoAgreed. And currently available phones are really expensive. Supposedly the Moto X4 will work on Fi soon, but that's gone from a lower cost phone to a higher one, last I read. Around $400. I was hoping for $250-300, in case one of my 3 5x's bootloops or dies. At this point, I really, really like Project Fi. Too bad Google can't get more phones out, though.
