My phone intelligently provides me with the best service from all its available providers - as such I always have full bars and perfect service. Full bandwidth and crystal clear call quality. Your phone isn't a PC - don't CJ it. Live better. Respect yourself.

It seems like I've been on US Cellular all those times. Wish it stayed with TMobile until I lost coverage, then switched to Sprint or US Cellular. peepsalot posted:Why is project fi ringing so insanely delayed on my phone (5X) that it routinely misses calls without a single ring, or rings for only a second before going to voicemail? effika posted:That's my experience on Sprint-- so maybe it's not so much Fi as it is that Sprint happens to be the service provider at those times.. idk i think ill stick to my unlimited everything for $50/m on a functional network

GG nextmap  however sprint is still poo poo garbage. the tower closest to my old residence had a problem that meant that calls and text messages would simply not go through to my old iphone at all, even with full bars. i would get a voicemail several hours after someone tried to call. this lasted for a few weeks until the frequency of our calls finally got them to fix poo poo.

sprint is so bad that apparently people in the fi thread use dialer codes to lock their devices to tmobile only. the math is literally that tmo+sprint is lesser than tmo alone

the absolute best thing about google fi isn't just the crystal clear call quality and the no-penalty data overage that they actually credit you the difference if you don't use it every month, it's that in every single loving country i've been to, it's just connected and worked. No having to look around for sim card stand in the airport, no "roaming rates and 100mb of international data @ $50" bullshit, it's just loving worked at no extra charge in half a dozen countries so far, when i turn it on on the tarmac it says "Welcome to XXXXX, google has you covered!" and all my texts and emails roll in from the other side of the world. now that's service and it's $30/mo

I will probably get rid of Verizon in November of 2017 when my unlimited data plan contract expires. By then I might get lucky enough that they bring back unlimited data by then lol (T Mobile kinda has it again)
