- yosito 6y agoI've heard this rumor, but I've been using Google Fi outside of the US for three years. I haven't even set foot in the US for a year and a half. No issues at all, and I use 10-20 GB a month. A few weeks ago, worried about the rumors, I went through the terms of the contract looking for anything about international usage limits or being cut off, and I talked to customer support and asked them about this, and they assured me that there are no limits on how much or how long I can use data internationally, and they will not cut me off. My guess is that these rumors come from people who are not US citizens/residents who try to hack the system and get Google Fi through a third party or with an address/bank that isn't really theirs. I know a lot of Europeans who have tried to get Google Fi by jumping on an American's family plan. I wouldn't be surprised if those people had their accounts cut off.
- thraxil 6y agoI'm a US citizen living in the UK. They cut me off after less than two years of not being in the US. How long you had your Fi account before you are consistently outside the US might be a factor. I switched to Fi shortly before going abroad. I barely use any data (I have a UK sim that I use day to day, the Fi phone/account is just to keep my old US number active since I still have so many things connected to it).
