To be somewhat more specific: while I travel extensively and am in the US often, I am often outside of it for more than a month at a time, and it appears that Google will shut off data outside the US if you use data outside the US for too long. If you are using a different SIM for the primary data connection, it appears that they won't even if you have it enabled as a backup.
- kimixa 1y agoI just came back from 3 straight months in the UK with google fi and had mobile data for that entire time. Perhaps it's country dependent? Or based on other metrics? I wasn't a heavy mobile data user, but didn't intentionally avoid it either...
- cge 1y agoMy comparison here is actually that I've never had it shut off. I'm not quite sure what the criteria are. I do have a friend who had it cut off after a few months of using it for all his data in the EU.
