About to leave for Paris on google fi for the first time from the US and praying that it works well. Supposedly I don’t have to notify them and it should be the same price for data and just a little more for old-fashioned sms and phone calls.
- gecko 7y agoFor all the issues with Google Fi (and I've had blissfully few, but I believe these stories and hear sadly too many of them), I have had zero issues going internationally with it. It just works, and it works better than T-Mobile's equivalent functionality (even though I was told at one point that they're "just" piggybacking on it). I've gone to Japan and all over Europe, and never had a single issue.
- scarejunba 7y agoIt worked flawlessly for me everywhere, including Paris. This + 10 data SIMs is my primary reason to use Fi.
- bane 7y agoFWIW, I've used Fi overseas in about a dozen different countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Service is usually better than in the U.S. Phone calls I believe get a per minute charge, SMSs are free and data is exactly the same rate you pay in the U.S. It's been flawless. Literally as easy as driving between states.
- brownbat 7y agoI've enjoyed it, but none of my SMS messages ever seem to be delivered while I'm overseas. I just fell back on over the top services and didn't worry about it, thought it was happening to everyone on those networks. Now I'm dreading a support call...
