Hmm, if you're using x@example.com via G Suite, how do you transition away from G Suite but still use x@example.com to login to your Android phone and other Google sign-in related stuff? Anything you need to be careful of so you don't get locked out?

Either become a nonprofit or delete the account in G Suite and recreate it as a free regular Google account after the domain name has been removed from G Suite.

  > recreate it as a free regular Google account after the domain name has been removed from G Suite How though? Create x@gmail.com and copy your old emails into it, change your domain settings to stop pointing to G Suite and forward x@example.com to x@gmail.com instead, cancel your example.com G Suite and your email should still be working.... But then what happens to apps and Android login that are connected to your x@example.com Google SSO login? You can connect this up to x@gmail.com?

You will have to create a new Google Account, and none of your purchases will go across. I'm guessing that whoever signed off on this didn't remember that Google sells movies and Android apps, or else they would've put a FAQ telling people this on the page.

    It is said that the core services will stop working. Google Photos, YouTube and purchases/subscriptions are not considered as core services.

When you cancel GSuite you can enable Cloud Identity Free. That will keep all your accounts, just the GSuite functionality will be dropped. At least that was the way it worked a while ago.

  Thanks, can you explain "keep your account"? Don't you use lose Gmail access? How would you get email receiving and sending working again without breaking any Gmail logins?
