I saw this today and am unhappy with the news. I'm on a Pixel, but my wife is on an iPhone. We're both on Wi-Fi 90%+ of the time. Since I'm heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, potentially switching to Fi just looks better and better. I hear it even works on the iPhone with some limitations. We're not huge data users, so having truly unlimited data, while nice, is not really required.
- techrat 6y agoGoogleFi still uses the T-Mobile network. I suspect that without a way for MVNOs to have a way for their customers to log into the T-Mobile page to opt-out, the data sharing is still in effect. On MintSim, myself.
- psybient 6y agoYou make a good point. I'm also wondering if T-Mobile allows Fi customers to be de-prioritized or is Google big enough that T-Mobile wouldn't dare. I'll look into MintSim. Thanks for the tip.
- varenc 6y agoI doubt this. Presumably if this was true Google Fi would have to provide at least some notice of this? Especially since T-Mobile had to update their privacy policy before rolling this out. Also Google Fi has no incentive to permit this. (Assuming they get a say)
