This is cool and all, but I'm worried that Google will just pull the plug during one "spring cleaning" event. Plus T-Mobile's $100/4 lines/2 GB per line is just unbeatable right now... cheaper and more data.
Federal Universal Service Fund, State Telecom Excise, County Telecom Excise, MCTD Surcharge, Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee, State & Local Sales Tax, Public Safety Communications Surcharge, County 911
That's $10+/mo of pure BS for a single line. Would love to hear from Google Fi users if they also do this, if not I'll probably switch.
Taxes & government surcharges State 911 Tax $0.08 Telecomm Relay Systems Surcharge $0.06 California Teleconnect Fund Charge $0.13 California High Cost Fund Surcharge $0.04 California Advanced Services Fund Charge $0.06 Universal Lifeline Telephone Service Surcharge $0.67
Other fees PUC Fee $0.03 Federal Universal Service Fund $1.29 Federal Regulatory Assessment Fee $0.12
Except you don't have worldwide roaming included in your plan, which you have to pay extra for.
That's a reason why I'm not changing from Fi. Also the fact that data I don't use is reimbursed.
> PLUS use your monthly 4G LTE data in Mexico and Canada like in the U.S., at no extra charge
It doesn't seem to be worldwide...
If you're going to switch - if you don't mind, email me at j(at)fej(punto)io so I can send you my referral information. Disclosure: I would make $80 in T-Mobile stock, and currently have a share of the company. Of course, I don't want to pressure you at all, and even if you switch you don't have to credit me.
This is their new referral program which you might have heard about recently.
