#2Does anyone use Google Fi currently and can speak to the quality of the service? How does it perform while traveling, does it become spotty if you leave a major metro area, do you experience dropped calls, any data throttling?

Fi uses TMobile/Sprint + US Cellular. They are an MVNO. I don’t think they support WiFi calling on iPhone - deal breaker for those with bad coverage at home/work.

I used to use it and when it just used Sprint network. It was good with just the Sprint. network for my use case. Now Sprint and TMobile networks are merged - so theoretically it should be better .

#6One bad thing about google fi is if you forget the google account password & email that you associate with the phone number and don't have a 'backup email' for it, it's near impossible to close the account or similar and have it stop charging your credit card until you do a chargeback. Which also means random people can charge your credit card on a subscription.
Google support cannot do anything on their end to get google to stop charging your credit card, and you have to do a chargeback on your side as a result.

For data roaming inside mainland China, it was smooth, just works. It also has the implicit benefit of being able to access censored website without installing VPN apps.
No idea on other parts, I doesn't make much phone calls.

#8Data slower after: 22GB
> Anyone who uses more than 15 GB on Flexible or 22 GB on the unlimited plans in a single cycle will experience slower data until the next cycle (only 1% of people who use Fi ever hit 22 GB). If you want to return to faster data before the cycle's end, you can do so at a rate of $10/GB.

I used it for many years as a "digital nomad" and it never let me down. Totally reasonable speeds in most countries.
The biggest pain was not being able to modify my account in any way without being in the US.

Afaik, Google Fi utilizes networks operated by T-Mobile (Sprint is merging), and U.S. Cellular depending on GSM or CDMA.
So expect your coverage to be of those.
