Google Project Fi

[Sam1]

Finally got an invite to Project Fi, does anyone around Nashville use it?

 

I'm on the edge about actually using it now because you have to buy a Nexus 6 for it to work on ($400 on ebay)... But having the option to get refunded for unused data would save me a lot on monthly billing (about $180/year at my current usage).

 

If anyone else is on it, or plans to hop on it soon, please let me know if you run into any issues.  Coverage is my primary concern.

I would use it but work pays for my phone so I probably wont use it any time soon but I have been trying to get my wife on it.

What is it ?

[Sam1]

Google cellphone service, runs off of Sprint and Tmobile's network and wifi automatically switching, depending on which one has the best speed or coverage.  Big kicker is they charge $20 for unlimited calls/texts (including international texts).  The data is $10 per GB, if you sign up for the 2GB plan ($40 total) and you only use 700Mb, you would get a $13 refund for the unused data.  And the data also works in 120 countries at the same cost, but is limited to 3G speeds.

 

It sounds like a great deal on paper, just not sure on how it is in the wild.

How long did it take to get an invite? I know some of the Google products, historically, can have quite a waiting list.
