It's a little ironic that Google's tagline for Project Fi is "a new way to say hello" the day Facebook launched Hello. 😃

@rrhoover also funny that they fought for net neutrality but then encouraged us to "stay in the fast lane."

"For $20 a month you get all the basics (talk, text, Wi-Fi tethering, and international coverage in 120+ countries), and then it's a flat $10 per GB for cellular data while in the U.S. and abroad. 1GB is $10/month, 2GB is $20/month, 3GB is $30/month, and so on. Since it's hard to predict your data usage, you'll get credit for the full value of your unused data. Let's say you go with 3GB for $30 and only use 1.4GB one month. You'll get $16 back, so you only pay for what you use." Wow, that pricing is incredibly competitive, especially considering that international roaming and personal hotspot are free and there are no contracts or early termination fees.

@michaelrbock Agreed. Likely ill give it a spin.

@michaelrbock you really do get ripped off in the US with carrier pricing! In the UK, I'm on a truly unlimited data plan (including tethering) that can also be used in a large number of countries for no extra cost, all for £15/month. So, by that measure, the Project Fi pricing wouldn't be tempting at all if it was in the UK.

@michaelrbock Agree - and even thought I'm kicking myself for not being a Nexus 6 user and locked into a contract, I'm looking forward to seeing what this pricing structure does to disrupt the rest of the US market.

BTW, you can use a similar MVNO, https://ting.com , for about the same price with any phone (not just Nexus 6), and they operate on the same MNOs (Sprint and T-Mobile)

the other question - if you port your number to Project FI, will they support porting out or will that become your new Google Voice/Hangout number for life.

@normanliang I'm nearly certain they'll be legally required to support porting out.

This really caught my interest and I just so happen to be a Nexus 6 user. As I tend to be on WIFi most of the day, I average about 2.5-3GB a month of data. Going with the higher number that ends up being just $50 a month + fees/taxes. Not bad compared to the $98.40 I pay AT&T for "unlimited" and device payment fee.

Just got an invite for Project Fi on the same day I am switching over to T-Mobile who is offering a free month of service with 5GB of data. Now I just need to get a Nexus 6....
