Don't worry, you can turn on your phone's wifi hotspot and connect the tablet to that to waste your data on dumb games.

Never expected this to happen and I might be upgrading my 1st Gen Pixel XL to an iPhone XR now. I have been wanting to get an iPhone but have been unwilling to leave Google Fi.

15 gb doesn't seem like much when you get into actual internet usage vs streaming a few songs or looking at Instagram. A weekend without wifi puts my phone into the 3gb range.

American McGay posted:15GB of mobile data per month is an extreme edge case for 90% of the population. It might not work for you but it's certainly not stingy. I'm talking about hotspot/data sim. Most months I'm under 1 gb because I cleanse myself in the waters of wifi. edit - Netflix claims 4 hours per gb of data on mobile, hot drat. That's less data than the Facebook app.

I purchased a phone to take advantage of the gift card deal yesterday. The e-mail saying my order had been confirmed had my previous address as the shipping location as I have moved recently, woops! I went to edit my order and google can't find my order at all, even though I have an order number. Goons, did I buy a phone or not? I sent an e-mail to googles support but who knows when they will get back to me. EDIT: Well my order is showing up, but I can't change the shipping address as far as I can tell. So my only option is to cancel the order? Because that really stinks. cinnamon rollout fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Nov 29, 2018 |

Got an email confirming I'd get the travel gift card. FYI, if you're doing a trade-in it's the total cost of the phone minus the value of the trade-in.

Red Warrior posted:Which is some serious bullshit, what's the point of trading in then? I got the email and thought the same thing. The optimal move was to buy the phone straight up, and sell your old phone separately. Trading in the old phone is a straight loss. It's a baffling detail. The promo feels like it was a great idea but the details weren't quite in place.

Ok apparently they are updating the FAQ with this answer:quote:If I trade in a device, do I qualify for the Travel on Fi promotion? Of course navigating the faq thread is a nightmare. But how on earth did that clause get put in the email in the first place? That's not confusion btw Google. People weren't confused about you saying you were going to change the terms of the deal.

I mysteriously got an email today: "You've earned $90 Fi credit from the Bring Your Own Device promotion! You'll see the credit applied to your next bill(s)." But... I bought a Pixel 3 from them during the $200 off/$200 credit promo... I am not looking forward to arguing about them with this.

Cloks posted:Got an email confirming I'd get the travel gift card. FYI, if you're doing a trade-in it's the total cost of the phone minus the value of the trade-in. Funny how nothing mentioned that when I purchased, and the purchase page showed the gift card value equal to the new phone value. Should have screen shotted it. And the trade in is bullshit how they work it. They credit your bill over a few months. So if you still have a balance left on your Pixel 2, it works out something like - $27 Pixel 2 $33 Pixel 3 $30 data -$90 bill credit $8 taxes + fees Total: $8 So they credit you the max excluding taxes and fees until the $250 trade in value is satisfied. But that might only be three months of paying for your Pixel 2 that you still owe $250 on. So using this example, your bill totals are going to be: Month 1: $8 Month 2: $8 Month 3: $28 Month 4: $98 - now you're still paying off that Pixel 2 that you don't own Of course it normalizes since you paid nothing for a couple months, but you have to have the foresight and planning to cover those higher bills you're going to get while paying for multiple phones.

I'm glad the 5X I'm trading in doesn't even boot up because I'd be seriously pissed if I was trading in a Pixel 2 or similar. I took a bunch of screencaps during the entire process and it definitely says that you'd get a gift card for the price paid on the phone and doesn't mention trade-in lowering the value at all. I doubt I'd have been able to sell a boot looping 5X for more than $45 anyway (still confused why my 6P that works isn't worth $0.01 but a non-functional 5X is worth $45) so it isn't a big deal to me, but I'd definitely be hassling support if I traded in a Pixel or Pixel 2. They've also already mailed me the trade-in box despite the phone not shipping for another 2 weeks so I guess it's a good thing I'm not trading in a phone I'm actually using! You'd think a company as big as Google would be able to handle this promo without bungling it but here we are.

Hi guys, I am dumb. I have a cellphone number under my family's ATT plan. What do I do in advance to port my number? Will i be phoneless for a few days?

I already have P3 with my ATT SIM in it. Is the form on Fi's side or ATT's side? Thanks!

The form is somewhere on the Fi page it'll say something like "get ready to switch numbers" but if you already have your phone as soon as you boot it up it should ask you to select a carrier (Fi) and ask if you're porting a number. The only thing the form does is automatically pull the data you already put in it. The page says it could take 2-3 days for your calls/texts to switch over to your new device but for me (coming from AT&T) it took like 20 minutes.

Does anyone here have experience with the call quality getting shittier? I swapped over to Fi from ATT, and my call quality has gone through the floor. Everything sounds tinny, and volume doesn't seem to equalize correctly. I'm on a Pixel 3 XL, and had zero issues with this before.

I had the opposite experience. Once my family got Fi with Pixels, the call quality got substantially better.

So earlier I had purchased a phone through Google for the promotion they just had and had it accidentally shipped to a wrong address. Google was spectacularly unhelpful. I did manage to get the phone though, by going to the address I had accidentally shipped it to and talking to the person living there. Thank God they were understanding about the whole thing.

FedEx is not delivering to my address, the woman I talked to on the phone at FedEx suggested asking Google to send another phone. Extremely helpful company, extremely normal solution.

FedEx is awful. I had a delivery a couple weeks ago - the guy walked up to my gate, put a "you weren't here" sticker on it, and left. He didn't come to the door or knock or anything. I ran down the street after him to get my package, and he acted pissed off at me. When I saw my Pixel 3 was coming FedEx, I opened the door before they were up the walk. Luckily it was a different driver and she couldn't be more friendly, but she sure seemed to be in a hurry. Not ten minutes later, another FedEx truck with a different driver drove up to my neighbor's house to deliver him a package. I don't understand this company.

I work from home and still had to sit literally on the front porch and chase the FedEx truck down the road to get my wife's new pixel 3. FedEx is the absolute worst shipper. I don't understand why Google partners with them and they should be doing more to help customers who get screwed by FedEx. Also the pixel 3 is super nice.. makes me want to swap my 2xl out for one.

I don't know how they operate, but I suspect the drivers pay is based on something that rewards them for saving time by not actually delivering things.

I've had multiple times where I've seen the truck slow down drove past and the driver marks attempted delivery or delivered and will drop it off whenever he feels like it lol. They are independent contractors so I guess they can do whatever they want?
