Ok, so you chose a random Android phone because it is mentioned on the Google Fi homepage, although a simple search would let you know that any unlocked phone is adequate. You realized you bought a bad phone for you without previously looking into what are you buying and you're dissatisfied with Android? You know what, stick to your iPhone.
- spraak 7y agoYeah, unless the author just wanted to write in a dismissive and flippant style, it seems they didn't do much research first
- fastball 7y agoI think it's meant to be at least a little tongue-in-cheek.
- cameronbrown 7y agoOr maybe there's an expectation that a phone explicitly recommended by Google Fi would actually work outside the US. That clearly left a worse taste in the author's mouth than anything else with the device.
- rudiv 7y agoGoogle Fi is not an international carrier, and their mode of operation is significantly different from other carriers. This has its disadvantages and advantages, but not contacting support after waiting for your phone to start working for a week is unreasonable and I would say unrealistic. Anybody who is sufficiently tech-savvy would realise that if it doesn't start working in the first 24 hours, it's unlikely to start working without intervention. Again, if you're used to iPhones it may not be your cup of tea, but on Android one can troubleshoot that sort of thing on a basic level directly from your phone.
- scarface74 7y agoI’ve travelled internationally with T-mobile and haven’t had any problems. Google Fi is yet another Google product where they don’t think in terms of real world users and they over index on technology for technologies sake.
- scarface74 7y agoSo he bought a phone that he saw on the Google Fi home page and he was crazy for thinking it should work with Google Fi?
