Google Fi Trial Beta Experience

[Edit 4/19] The trial is now available to all eligible new users with an eSIM compatible phone.

Hi, Fi Family!

We heard your feedback about wanting to learn more about Fi updates and launches. We are introducing a beta experience to a small group of users to try out Fi service for free as they consider switching to Fi. The participants can enjoy the 7-day trial on an eSIM compatible phone alongside their current service, and get unlimited data (speed slows after 10GB), calls, and texts in the US, hotspot tethering*, spam call blocking**, and built-in VPN***. At the end of the trial, they’ll automatically move to the Simply Unlimited plan for $50/month****. They can cancel anytime and opt out of the auto-renewal in the Fi app, and still enjoy free service until the trial period ends.

To see if you’re eligible for the trial, visit fi.google.com. If you’re not eligible, you can’t participate in the trial at this time, but you can still consider joining Fi. As of now, an official launch date has not been confirmed.

-------------------

* Hotspot tethering counts towards your data usage.

** May not detect all spam calls.

*** Some data is not transmitted through VPN.

**** Plus taxes and fees. On Simply Unlimited, you can use up to 5GB of hotspot tethering.

google has the world’s longest list of discontinued products. their “services” are not trustworthy. just when you are happy with one they decide it doesn’t make them enough money and you are once again left to your own “devices”. very tiresome and shoddy way to treat your customers. giants like google and amazon eventually become so ravenous that they eat their own flesh.

Make sure to contact customer service with a problem for the real Fi experience. Of course they only have a few days to get back to you, so…

This year for my Gift from Google they gave me a total of 5 months of completely free service for being Soo involved with contributions to Google Maps by posting reviews of businesses answering questions about the businesses and posting pictures. I had the choice to select any of there Unlimited plans so I chose the Unlimited Plus and it hasn’t been bad I live in the US only thing was I needed to have my own compatible device so I Purchased a pre-owned unlocked Pixel 4xl and I can’t complain about the service just the phone itself need a newer model with 5G for sure :grinning_face_with_big_eyes::blush: and just now signed up for financing for a new Pixel 6 for $15 + a month and it includes free upgrades every 2 years and they let you keep the phone when you do upgrade and no extra costs for the new device not bad

Do you have plan to launch apple watch cellular service?

Can you issue me a refund for my plan? I guess my vacation was too long and you billed me a full month for 2 days of simply unlimited. More like simply nothing.

I’ve had Google Fi for going on a year now. It is absolutely the worst cellular service I have ever had and that’s saying a lot. Do yourself a favor and just stay away.

Who gets access to the free trial? Anyone with an esim? I have one but don’t see the trial on the site. I’d love to see if it would work for me.

Does this beta trial include international support?

If not, what about Canada/Mexico?

Anyone qualified? How does Google Fi determine if qualified? I had Google Fi before.

Not sure if they’re looking for feedback here, but Verizon does a 30 day trial and it’s super easy to sign up for. Worth comparing to their trial offer arrangement!

I was having issues with messaging and spotty service on Mint (3 year customer) with my Pixel phones. Tried Fi trial service for literally 30 minutes and all those issues were resolved and I made the swap. Traded in P6p for P7p. I got the Pixel watch LTE and am excited to add it to my plan soon.

does the 7 day trial also include international roaming?

This is a little early for April 1st

Most customer service is horrendous these days.

“very cool, thank you Fi”

Fi is always going to do the minimum amount of migrations with apple

Hey u/aosmith,

We’d be more than happy to take a look at this to see what’s going on, could you start a chat with us and share your case ID from your support chat/email/call?

Thanks!

Justin

If you hate it so much, why stay on it for a year? The main benefit of MVNOs like FI is that it is super easy to just cancel the service after a month if you don’t like it by porting out.

Hey there, u/heliogabalus2020,

The trial is only available to a small group of users with an eSIM compatible phone as a part of a beta experience. If you are not eligible, you can’t participate in the trial at this time, but you can still consider joining Fi.

Let us know if you have any further questions!
