If you're on T-Mobile, you might want to consider Google Fi. According to this data prioritization guide, Google Fi gets the same quality of service as standard-tier T-Mobile plans (lower QCI values are better, and both are on QCI 6):

> QCI 6 is applied to all of T-Mobile's postpaid and prepaid plans (except for Essentials) and Google Fi which also has QCI 6 as well. This means if you want the absolute best from T-Mobile, you want to get a plan directly from them. Even their cheap $10 prepaid 1GB Connect plan has priority data.
Google Fi also gives you unlimited 5G / LTE data when roaming outside the US as well. For their unlimited plus plan, it looks to be on par with the T-Mobile magenta plan in terms of price.

- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoTrusting something as important as my phone number to an organization as fickle as Google seems insane.
- otachack 3y agoAgreed. Ten bucks says they'll sell off Fi within the next 10 years. See Google Domains sell off to Squarespace as a recent example.
- hipsterstal1n 3y agoAnd there is no telling who'll buy it... probably a company like Comcast / Xfinity which is already universally hated.
- hiatus 3y agoWhy would they do that? Owning the connection between user and internet seems pertinent to Google's interests. Then, even a phone vendor like Apple can't block you from accessing core customer data like location, device id, etc.
- theogravity 3y agoGood point. Customer service is non-existent with Google as well.
- ThatPlayer 3y agoNow that I think about it, my phone number has been on Google for more than 10 years with Google Voice.
