When can I use an iPhone on Project Fi?
- jwilliams 9y agoYou can right now - but you do need to activate on a compatible phone. You can then swap in an iPhone. It'll function fine, with some features missing (MMS, Carrier Swapping) missing. I use a Project Fi data SIM in an iPhone as a secondary device.
- bernardino 9y agoYep, this is true. Currently typing this on an iPhone SE with Project Fi. For MMS, I highly recommend using Hangouts (particularly for voicemail). But otherwise, I use iMessages. I have been doing this for the past year, it’s been working smoothly.
- horsecaptin 9y agoOne of the big features of ProjectFi is the worldwide roaming, and we can't get that on an iPhone from what I've seen. MMS via Hangouts is nice though.
- jwilliams 9y agoThe worldwide roaming works too. You just need to set the APN correctly. APN is something like h2g2.
- horsecaptin 9y agoWhoa. Thank you!
- croshan 9y agoProbably never. As a 6P user on Fi since it left beta, it seems to be built to lock you in to the Nexus/Pixel/Google ecosystem. And if it hasn't changed, the OS supposedly also has to be stock to allow for Fi to work.
- bernardino 9y agoSee above. You are capable of using Project Fi with an iPhone, with a few drawbacks of course.
- dmitrygr 9y agoTechnically it will work now in many (but not all) ways.
