So if you want to change your number back to Google Voice if you don't want Project Fi, you can.

There's one caveat on this. Apparently some GV numbers are ineligible to pull back straight to GV. IIRC the issue is that some of the number prefixes were transferred from Bandwidth.com (GV's VOIP provider) to other carriers. If your number is affected by this, when you go to cancel Fi you are not given the opportunity to move the number back to GV.

Some Google tech on Reddit mentioned this applies to about 10% of GV numbers. My ancient GrandCentral number was among it.

It looks like if this affects you, you might be able to actually do a straight out port, but you'd have to port your number from Fi to some other carrier, then port that back into GV.

Does the nexus 6p have an sd slot so I can expand my storage space?

Also will google help get me out of my contract early with another carrier?

No and no.
