Canada has the most expensive plans in the first world and we don't have access to Google Fi yet. It's ridiculous how expensive it can be to have data here.

- giarc 8y agoI did the "estimate your bill" for Google Fi. For 6GB of data and unlimited talk and text it's $80USD or $106CAD per month. Compared to a Telus "Build Your Plan" with unlimited nationwide talk and text, plus 6GB is $90CAD or $67USD.
- gpm 8y agoLooks like it has international support for roaming at the same price though, I wonder if we (Canadians) could just use it anyways...
- seized 8y agoYou can. Just need a US address to get started. I use one in Washington that I have anyway for use as my billing address.
- bpye 8y agoNot having a local number would be a bit of a pain.
- wccrawford 8y agoThey will eventually cut you off for being mostly-roaming.
- mclehman 8y agoAre you sure about that? It's been almost a year since I got my mom set up with Fi in France, no issues yet.
- wccrawford 8y agoThere was a post on here (IIRC) about a month ago about someone who had family in the US, but his phone was always overseas. They killed the whole account.
- butisaidsudo 8y agoAs in the whole Fi account, or the whole Google account?
- wccrawford 8y agoThe Fi account, IIRC.

- seized 8y agoYou CAN use Google Fi but you need to have a US address to get started. But it works great in Canada. Calls do cost 20 cents per minute while in Canada but the data is the same price at $10USD/GB.
