I live in San Francisco and last week tried calling a number from my desk (Nexus 6p) at work only to find an automated "The code or number you have dialed is incorrect. Please check and try again." No matter which number I called. I googled around and found other Fi users with my same issue. Turns out there's a secret dialer code you can put into your phone to force it to connect to one type of tower:

code:

* # * # 34866 # * # *   <-- Force to T-Mobile only
* # * # 34777 # * # *   <-- Force to Sprint only
* # * # 34886 # * # *   <-- Autoswitching

I can make calls fine from a T-Mobile tower, Sprint does the automated message thing. Very strange. 2 days later I got an email from Project Fi informing me that I was one of a number of customers that received a lovely SIM that has problems using "the full Fi network" and I'd be receiving a new SIM in the mail and a $25 credit for my trouble. Nice save, Google.
