Looks like they are opening it up to most phones. I've been pretty happy with the service. The data isn't as cheap as I would like but the international data being the same price is a pretty big deal for me.

My promo code if anyone wants to signup ($20 statement credit) https://g.co/fi/r/72U5TT

Interesting. One of the cool parts about Fi has been the seamless switching between different cell networks, which as I understood it was reliant on hardware that was only available on certain phones (e.g. Nexus, Pixel). Apparently if you use Fi on a device that does not support network switching, you'll just be on T-Mobile's network:

seems like a decent deal. i'm having trouble understanding the 200$ credit: it seems to good to be true. the way i understand it: If i have an existing phone and sign up for FI then I get a 200$ credit, which means, if my monthly bill is say 45$ (20$+15$+10/gb) then i won't have to pay for the first 4.5 months?? wow, seems to good to be true.

i think the catch is: most phones aren't supported so you have to buy a relatively new phone to be elligble for it, right?

Was on Project Fi. Now on Mint mobile. If T-mobile coverage is good in your area, Mint is the way to go. (25$ a month for 10GB data)

The other offer of giving travel reward seems too good to be true too.
