Google’s cell service Google Fi is being rebranded to “Google
Fi Wireless” and bringing several new features for users. The most significant
update is that Google Fi Wireless plans will now support Samsung’s Watch 5, along
with the Pixel Watch.
What’s more is that the support for smartwatch, which was previously only limited to Google Fi’s Unlimited Plus and Flexible plans, is now being expanded to the Simply Unlimited plan. The feature will be available on all these plans with no additional charges. Despite the smartwatch support addition to the Simply Unlimited plan, the subscription price of the plan mostly remains the same, which is $80 a month for the two-to-four-line package. The plan originally offers 5GB of hotspot tethering and unlimited data, calls, and texts within the US, Canada, and Mexico. Pricing of the three-line package has, however, increased by $5 for a month.
Another bonus addition to Google Fi Wireless is a
complementary phone offer. Users will be able to choose from Google Pixel 6A,
Samsung A14, and Motorola Moto G Power for each line that is added to a plan. Acquiring
one of these phones also requires staying on the wireless plan for 2 years,
which means that if you cancel the agreement before the 2 years period, then
you will need to cover the difference on what you owe.
Lastly, Google Fi Wireless is being launched in a revamped
app where users will have access to more control options. These include the
ability to add new members to a group plan and restricting call or text access for
certain members to children within the same group. The app will roll out
with the changes over the coming weeks.
