Well it doesn't cost anything to try out their services.
Disadvantage to Fi is if you exceed your 'unlimited' data. You get throttled to dial up speeds, or have to pay $10 per gigabyte to get more! AT&T only gives half as hot spottable data, but they are $10 for 5 gig if you need more.Good info, there.
Google Fi is more expensive. but I have been using it for a couple of years, now.
We live out in the boonies. We used CenturyLink for a while, here, but my google phone with hotspot was faster, and more reliable.
"Disadvantage to Fi is if you exceed your 'unlimited' data. You get throttled to dial up speeds, or have to pay $10 per gigabyte to get more!"
Nope. Fi charges $10 a gig up to 6 gigs then no more charge. So $80 per month is the most they will charge you for one line. And then after that it is free. They don't throttle anyone.
After using AT&T every year I found it almost impossible to get sorted as in the Vegas area they are trying to stop the prepay.
I eventually got a sim but after a lot of hassle I went with Verizon.
I found that most of the network providers have almost identical packages.
Our UK phones connect to AT&T so now we have 2 networks.
They may not give you the 100 bucks again, but they would probably be happy to port the phone.Thanks for that info. There is a lot to learn about this service, and I wish I had started asking questions BEFORE we got South this year.
I got $100 off for porting one of the AT&T phones to Fi, and they said I cannot double up on their offers. Sorry.
Anyway, this will be a learning experience again this year. Cell phones and cell plans change so quickly that it is hard to keep up.
Visible is the cheapest at $40 per month,
Visible "Parties" no loner have limits on the number of members. Some groups now have thousands. Really no need to pay any more than the $25 charge for monthly service.I am in a group with a buddy who has two phones so we pay $30 each, but you can find groups all over, possibly search Facebook for Visible groups to find one. I think groups are limited in max size but I don't recall what.

Well, I ended up having to give up.They may not give you the 100 bucks again, but they would probably be happy to port the phone.
