Or 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.
