PSA: Google Fi is a rip off

I just looked at their prices. It is not even competitive. Stay away from that garbage and pick about 48 other MVNO TMOBILE carriers with much more competitive pricing.

Being willing to be ripped takes you out of the pool of people I’m trying to warn. Don’t be had by Google Fi. Ultimates loyalty comes with lube. He loves it. 48 better options.

Fi is the best option by a good bit. I will stick with them for another 8 years.

Some people don't want to use a flip phone, pawpaw.

I almost got the Flip 5, considered it with the Fold 5 being such a minor update but got the Fold 5 in the end.

Some of us have families, don't worry, you'll find one someday

Google FI is the only T-Mobile MVNO that gets the same QCI Prioritization of data as T-Mobile customers. Your data on Tello gets a lower priority than mine, which is a big factor for me to pay more.
See here. There are plenty of other articles that will validate but this one is well laid out.
So yeah I pay a bit more than you but 20-30 per line is fine for my use case. Fi has the easiest self service for all of my non stop phone sim swapping around. With ESIM lots of carriers have made it a pain in the arse to be a constant swapper like myself. Fi is smooth as butter.
I don't mean like one swap once per year on annual upgrade. I mean like 2-3 SIM swaps per week. I did that with visible and I basically created a quantum loop hole in their system that was so broken I just had to port out because they couldn't fix it after days and days.

My monthly bill is similar ($6.36/mo all in) except I have unlimited data. However I also earn crypto presently worth ~$40/mo for using the service so I come out ahead $35/mo for having unlimited talk/text/data.
Tello is a ripoff

Which companies are better? I'm paying FI $85 for 3 phones unlimited and the service has been stellar.

I don’t mean to sound like Mr Moneybags or anything, but the difference between $7 and $25 monthly when there’s increases in actual service levels is not particularly highway robbery or significant for most household budgets.

Google site says 3 lines unlimited should be $80 not $85.

Weirdly it used to be $85 and I got an email saying they were reducing the price by $5 or something. Maybe last year. Rare for that type of thing to happen. It's on auto pay and I barely look at it.

None.

I've heard Fi called a lot of things, but never not competitive.
My phone works wherever I am in the world and has decent service when I am in USA.
Not sure anything can compare for the price, really.

Ya the only quirk with international is it will sometimes default to some ancient 3G network on arrival but that's easy to correct in the cell network settings.
