RE: Hacked: How to register, activate and use Google Fi as a non-US citizen

in #travel7 years ago

$10 GB of data sounds very expensive, it would be cheaper to get a sim in the country you are visiting in many cases and the per GB data cost will be way less.
Remember you are paying $20 EVERY month for access to Google Fi even if not using it. Carefully compare costs. Many countries even have special 3 month tourist sim cards. Great information though, thank you for sharing with us.

Yes you are true! But it's a new option you can use if you dependent on good internet all the time. We also buy our sim cards in most countries but this can be very stressful and also expensive if you travel to 10 - 20 countries per year :P

It could be expensive, but if you operate on wifi the majority of the time you don't burn through data too fast and you get to have the availability of your own number the whole time you're traveling. I just spent a month in Istanbul, Turkey. My friend from the US was using his Nexus 5x and never had any complaints about using it or the quality of service.
