Why aren't you on Google Fi yet /g/?
Not available in shitrael
>>51755084
>Why aren't you Google's bitch yet /g/?
Corrected that for you.
Only available on ~3 phones, and they're all not ones I have.
not even sure what it is
>>51755204
>Steal service from everyone else's towers
So I live on east coast USA, I have a nexus 6. Got invited to Project Fi. Was excited to try something other than VZW for once.
Eventually porject fi sim comes in the mail. Activated and everything... Ported over my Google Voice Number... okay so far so good. >can call
>data works well
>get texts
>cant send texts???
contact project fi support. This should be easy right? Ive heard good things.
Holyfuck. Project fi support is THE WORST support ive ever dealt with.
Its clear the issue with the texts was on their side. But I had to spend 3 days emailing back and fourth doing piddly little troubleshooting steps on my phone (clearing cache, uninstalling hangouts, etc) (meanwhile I have changed roms like 8 times, reflashed to stock, relocked my bootloader, and so many things just to be sure it wasnt muh roms)
So about 2 weeks of bullshit goes by. Still cant text. Reading on /r/projectfi ( :O muh reddit). Apparently some other people had the issue. Send the link to google like "wtf guys just do the fix you did for them"
they are like "okay our engineers will work on it"
4 more days go by. Finally get on live chat/call google fi. yell about canceling servvice. "okay sir you can cancel anytime :)" (aka DO IT FAGGOT)
"we are aware this issue is important to you! Our engineers will contact you within 24hrs
24 hrs later. Still nothing.
>wtf
>"oh sorry, ill have an engineer contact you tonight"
uhg
still nothing
canceled project fi.
4 days later I get an email from the engineer
"Hi could you please clear the cache on the app and send a bug report"
motherfuckers. Never again. The service wasnt that good. And frankly its not even that cheap. Just get an MVNO
For my next cellphone plan (after my VZW contract expires) im going to get a Dataonly plan (for like tablets and shit). and Use google Voice and Hangouts for calling and text over IP. You can get real cheap data plans. Like $70 for 10GB of data.

I live in the UK - otherwise I'd be on that botnet quicker than you can imagine
I am
They keep sending me care packages (I think because I complain about customer service and coverage to my friends in Google hangouts)
They just sent me some legos, headphones, a phone case, and a power bank...
>>51756280
Everyone's got those packages. I got the headphones, powerbank, and case when I joined first, and got the legos last week. Pretty nice to be honest

>>51755490
>Just get an MVNO
are you retarded? it is. they lease bandwidth from t-mobile and ericsson (sprint) towers
>>51755084
Because it would be significantly more expensive than my current plan
>>51755490
>Like $70 for 10GB of data
That's more than I pay for unlimited talk, unlimited text, and unlimited full speed LTE
>>51755490
Deserved it faggot.
>>51756280
Hold on, 60$ for 4GB of data?
I'm in France and I have 6GB of data for 10€. Why is America so expensive?
>>51757263
Setting up infrastructure in America is an order of magnitude more expensive than doing so in France
>>51757090
kek
>>51757291
except they're not setting up infrastructure, they're leasing bandwidth right?
We've got a couple of virtual providers here in the Netherlands, some relatively new, and they're usually dirt cheap. I'm on a ~$10 contract (sim only) for 300 minutes/sms + 500 mb internet. Don't need more since I've always got wifi, so I only use it to shitpost in the train.
>>51757338
>We've got a couple of virtual providers here in the Netherlands, some relatively new, and they're usually dirt cheap.
because the setup and backhaul behind it was dirt cheap (and subsidized)
>>51757120
Thanks to competition, I paid only $10 for unlimited talk, text and lte data.
$30 5gb on T mobile is a better deal for me
>>51755965
How is it?
I am on a Verizon FiOs at my house. It is fast as fuck, but is extremely expensive and has a 10gb cap.
My contract is almost over. I will be switching to a local cable/dsl provider. They aren't quite as fast but they have a 300gb cap, but only slows down somewhat after that is hit. Instead of charging extra. It is only $60/month vs Verizon 10gb cap at $90/month. When I got the Verizon it was my only choice. Waiting for the contract to be over so I can switch. I am going to see if the local company has a business version. I hope they do.
I am getting assraped without lube by Verizon atm. Although, hopefully, will be finished with them shortly.
I wish where I lived, had more options. Oh well....finish this bullshit CON-tract out and switch to a slightly slower speed with much more data available for MUCH cheaper.
Wish me luck, senpais.
My plan costs 18€/month
- Unlimited calls
- Unlimited Sms
- Unlimited data 4G
>>51757603
>I am on a Verizon FiOs at my house. It is fast as fuck, but is extremely expensive and has a 10gb cap.
>10gb cap
Man I could do 10GB in an hour on my current 100/20 connection. Honestly, I think you meant 10TB, or even 1TB, but if you've got FiOS and you're capped at 10GB, my god, you're getting fucking ripped off in the extreme, son.
$30/mo reporting in, so far I haven't had any issues. I like the service.
>>51755084
For someone who uses more than 1 GB of data per month it isn't worth it. Just get T-mobiles unlimited everything plan for $30 a month. After 5 GB in a month you go back to 3G so what? I'd rather it be slow after 5GB than have to pay more. And it's not even close to as bad as sprint. They are literal shit.
I'm on Project Fi with a Nexus 5x. I live out in the sticks so wifi calls and texts are fantastic. My only other choice is paying $50+ a month for a single bar of Verizon. It's rare that I use more than 100MB of data a month, so my bill on Fi is $21. It works well and I can keep my phone on airplane mode with wifi turned on and get days of battery.
>>51757263
People make more in the US so $60 is reasonable for them
>>51757966
Eurofags are lucky as fuck. I'm planning on moving out there. America is full of greedy fucks.
>>51755084
1) Invite only.
2) Requires Nexus 5X or 6P.
I still have a Nexus 4. It works fine except that their latest software update ruined the ability to take pictures with flash (flash fires, then photo is taken after everything is dark again) and causes lockups about every three days.
I have no intention of buying another phone unless it has a MicroSD slot. I'm not a hipster faggot living in 4G LTE land. I want my podcasts and music on local storage.
>>51755490
>im going to get a Dataonly plan (for like tablets and shit). and Use google Voice and Hangouts for calling and text over IP.
I hope you don't call much, because that's going to be latent as fuck.
I tried doing that. It's awful. Mobile phones already have a ton of latency. Using GVoice probably brought it up to about 750ms of latency.
It used to actually be pleasant to talk to people on the phone. Back when you could actually hear minor details from the other side, and have natural communication. Now it's like using a walkie talkie, always interrupting each other, "oh, go ahead", etc.
And people marvel at how Millennials are so reliant on texting, snapchat, etc. It's because the phones they've grown up with are awful for actual use as a phone.
>>51759764
>People make more in the US so $60 is reasonable for them
^ this fucking dipshit
you a good little sheep aren't ya?
Not in Canada and also way more expensive for what you get vs my 90 bucks 5 gig plan that's LTE+
Locked into a contract until November next year. Thought about either google fi or T-Mobile + google voice. I'm hoping there will be a good deal for either $20 or $30 a month
>>51759931
They get keked by terrorists. Don't go there.
On the other hand, you won't be leaving your fapcave, so you should be fine
>>51760006
this so much tbvh
Just read the Wikipedia article on Project Fi.
How is this not just a shittier version of Republic Wireless?
unlimited 4g lte for life
t-mobile $80 1 line, 100 2 lines.
>$100 for 10GB
>per month
>for a fucking phone
Holy shit what is wrong with you
How do I get this for my iPhone?
Why isn't it free?
>>51760320
>They get keked by terrorists
Pretty sure its more dangerous in the USA with the lax gun laws and school shootings and what not. Terrorism is scary but when you look at the actual statistics its fucking nothing. Gun violence in the us however is a different story, prolly depends a lot on where you're at though.
So, do you really have to have a 5X or 6P, or can you use any ol' GSM phone?
>>51760859
If you live in Chicago or an area with a lot of african americans then "gun violence" (i.e. violence involving guns) is most definitely an issue. If you do not, then it is not something to be afraid of.
Holy shit.
Even Jewgle Jews the Americans more then their own ISP/MSP
You don't want to be using someone else's towers, you don't get prioritised.
>>51760859
I have a significantly higher chance of winning the lottery than I do of being a victim of a mass murder event.
By the way, I lived in the SF Bay Area for several years. Petty crime is pretty common in SF. Violent crime is fairly common, too, but guess what? If you're not involved with gang activity, your chance of being a victim of it is virtually zero.
Check out the death-by-firearm statistics for Thailand. For a country with extreme gun control, it's *shockingly* high. But it's almost entirely focused gang activity. As a foreigner, unless you get involved in illegal gambling, buying drugs, and child fucking, you're never going to even know.
>>51760887
It's not just guns, the us just have a high murder rate in general. I don't mean to be incendiary, just saying the whole terrorism thing is blown out of proportion. Neither I nor any friends of mine nor my extended family have ever been hurt by terrorists , I've never witnessed a murder or anything yet on my third day of my stay in NYC a junkie knifed her dealer dead in front of my hostel (Brighton beach, shady area, but still)

>>51755084
Because it's 1) Ridiculously expensive, and 2) I live in Europe.
Based on what I've heard, if they get Google Fi going in Europe with the same pricing as in Murica, it'll crash and burn from being way the hell too expensive compared to... Just about every other option. Almost every single provider in Europe has better and cheaper plans than Project Fi by a lot.
>>51761007
>Check out the death-by-firearm statistics for Thailand
Thailand isn't in europe,
Anywho I agree that gGun laws aren't that big a factor but the NRA and the military industrial complex sure did a good job flooding the nation with arms
>>51755084
>not in my area
>don't use Android
>have no issues with current carrier
>>51755084
I just de-googled my phone why would i want to allow them to see my texts and calls?
>>51755084
I'm on Fi. I was on Sprint beforehand. So I have the same, if not better, coverage. I live in Boston though so coverage is generally pretty good because it's a metropolitan area.
I have no complaints. Glad I finally got off of the family plan I was on. Now I can control how much data I use.
I have a 2GB plan. Have used less than 1GB and I only have 3 days left before the month is up. End up paying less per month than I was before. All is good. Hell, it may even force me to put my phone down should my data use gets close to the limit for the month.
>>51761114
>Thailand isn't in europe,
Wow, you get a gold star for figuring that out. Retard.
>Anywho I agree that gGun laws aren't that big a factor but the NRA and the military industrial complex sure did a good job flooding the nation with arms
Uh. American consumers did a good job of flooding the country with guns.
You're not very bright, are you?
>All this talk of data caps

>>51761345
There's a reason why people I the us tend to own more gu s per person thatn almost anywhere else. It's to do with history too but if you think the NRA and friends had no part in this you're not thinking straight
>people would rather have their traffic monitored by Verizon or AT&T over google
but why
Anyway I would probably use Google Fi if I had a 5X or 6P.
Asus zenfone 2 with dual sim, unlocked, $300 on amazon...
T-Mobile for the main one and at&t prepaid backup with no data just call and text
I never have an issue with service. Total bill is about $30/mo
>>51757090
>126gb
I can't even manage to use 5gb/Unlimited, even with torrent downloads and video streaming..
>>51761461
>if you think the NRA and friends had no part in this you're not thinking straight
The NRA doesn't significantly drive gun sales. They started as essentially a club, and now they're a lobbying organization defending the industry.
Americans like guns and they buy them, period.
>>51761376
The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
>>51762204
Except that the US government has given tax breaks to these big ISPs to upgrade their "tubes," yet these companies have done nothing to upgrade our network infrastructure at all.
>>51755490
Deleted all the information you stated from my brain.
There isn't anything wrong with fi.
I could, but would end up paying a shitload. I will easily eat up like 50GB and it'd be an issue.
>>51755490
Don't sign up for a beta service if you're not willing to live with bugs.
>>51756280
>>51759764 and >>51757291 are both wrong. It's because here in the US almost all of our ISP's and cell service providers are owned by or affiliated with media companies. The fucking jews ruined cable & satellite and they want to do the same to the internet too.
I got invited but I don't have the money to pay the early termination fee for verizon or the money to buy a Nexus just yet
Because I live in Ireland where I can get unlimited 4g for €20 euro a month.
>>51755490
>10GB of data
>70 burgers
America is truly a third world country. I can get unlimited data, calling and texting for $25. Do you enjoy getting raped in the ass by your providers?
>>51755084
> why haven't you downgraded your quality of cellphone service yet, /g/?
>>51755084
Costs way too much for higher data tiers. Plus Sprint and Tmobile coverage around me blows donkey dick.
>>51757437
100 bucks for two phones on tmobile. Unlimited text, minutes, and all the days I can consume.
I bought my Nexus 5X and ordered a Fi simcard and was ready to set it all up, but google Fi is apparently incapable of transferring my number. I've tried several times and it just something went wrong. Customer service says I'm doing it wrong, but I'm copying my AT&T information down exactly.
>>51765244
Have that same plan, fucking great.
Doesn't offer unlimited data.

>my blind hatred of plebbit is so irrational that I read right past the part where the guy says that he found the only correct solution there
I don't even know what that is.
It's limited to a few phones I have no interest in buying.
It uses the two worst networks.
The only thing it has on Ting is wifi calling.
It's only cheaper for a select few people.
My $35/month T-Mobile plan I'd cheaper and better for my needs
>>51765865
*is, typo
>>51755084
because southern california has pretty good coverage anyway so I don't need two networks
>>51756987
Yeah well in America if you want "affordable" then you have to deal with shitty mvno. Otherwise get keked from major ass rape carrier.
>>51764769
no i dont enjoy it.
>>51762672
you are still paying for the service. I gave them over a week to fix and issue that they apparently have fixed before. just sharing my experience
>>51760006
Ive been using it for months, talk on the phone every day, never had a problem with latency. If anything its better than my regular phone service was.
>>51757603
>10GB cap
There's something suspect about this.
Because a friend of mine added me to his family plan for $10/month. I get everything unlimited.

America is bigger, has more white space between cities, federal/state/municipal regulations that pretty much all carriers must traverse, diverse backhaul and a laundry list of other things that complicate things. You might as well ask why Russia or Africa doesn't have cheap service that covers 95% of their land.

Where the fuck do you live that FIOS has a cap? Last month I used a little over 12TB. The bills are bitchy but they just say that I use more than the average of 175gb for my area.

Look at gun violence by race. It's predominantly an urban black issue. No one wants to talk about it since "facts is racist" but Bloomberg did attempt to talk about it once and it was quickly whitewashed out of the media. There is very little gun violence outside poor urban centers.

I use the walmart t-mobile plan.
$30 a month for 5gb 4G LTE, 100 minutes, and unlimited text. I hardly ever talk on the phone so I never really use my minutes and I have four extra gigs of data that I can use under tmo than I would under fi.
Plus I didn't have to buy a nexus. I can use my 640 or my vzw moto e
