Choose the right phone plan for your family

Google Fi Wireless plans are designed to fit your data usage. You can go unlimited or choose to pay only for the data you use. No matter which plan you choose, you get great coverage, as well as family safety features for more peace of mind—including spam blocking, location sharing, contact controls, and more—at no extra cost. Plus, all plans include hotspot tethering, full connectivity for select smartwatches, and data, calls, and texts within the US, Canada, and Mexico. You can join from home, and easily switch between plans if your needs change.

The cost of Google Fi Wireless depends on which phone plan you choose.

Simply Unlimited is our most affordable unlimited plan and best value for families, at $80/month with four lines included. It comes with unlimited texts from the US to other countries, unlimited data, calls, and texts within the US, Canada and Mexico, 5 GB of high-speed hotspot tethering, and full connectivity for select smartwatches at no extra charge.

Unlimited Plus is our premium unlimited plan packed with extra features. For $160/month with four lines included, it comes with all the same features as Simply Unlimited, plus international calls to 50+ destinations, and international data abroad in 200+ destinations. You also get 100 GB of cloud storage with Google One, unlimited high-speed hotspot tethering, full connectivity for select smartwatches, 1 year of YouTube Premium on us, and can use your mobile data on tablets and other compatible devices with data-only SIM cards at no extra charge.

If you use less data or often rely on Wi-Fi, the Flexible plan can help you save. On the Flexible plan, you only pay by the GB for the data you use-down to the cent. It's $65/month for four lines for unlimited calls and texts, plus $10/GB for data at home and abroad in 200+ destinations. You also get hotspot tethering, full connectivity for select smartwatches, and can use your mobile data on tablets and other compatible devices with data-only SIM cards at no extra charge.

On Google Fi Wireless, you always get unlimited domestic calls and texts, unlimited texts to other countries, and affordable calls to other countries. Plus, you'll also get calls and texts within the US, Canada and Mexico included for free.

Taxes and government surcharges vary by service address, but are normally between 10-20%. For example, if your monthly bill is $40, the taxes on your statement could be between $4-8. There's no annual service contract when you sign up. We also don't charge any activation or cancellation fees if you join or leave Google Fi Wireless. If you buy a new device when you sign up for Google Fi Wireless and choose to pay for your device over time, the remaining monthly payments on your device are due if you leave.

Yes, you can pause your Google Fi Wireless phone plan for up to three months. You can easily resume your service at any time. If you haven't resumed service after three months, it will automatically turn back on. Keeping Fi paused for extended periods of time is a violation of our Terms of Service.

On the Flexible plan, should you choose to pause your line, you won't be charged for the days your service is paused. On Simply Unlimited and Unlimited Plus, should you choose to pause your line, you'll be charged through the end of your billing cycle—your bundled benefits, such as Google One, will remain active to avoid disturbing your service.

You'll pay your Google Fi Wireless bill after you're billed. On Simply Unlimited and Unlimited Plus, you'll be billed at the start of your billing cycle. Any additional charges not included in your plan (e.g. calls made abroad and extra high-speed data) will be charged at the end of your billing cycle.

On Flexible, you'll be charged a monthly fee for unlimited calls and texts at the beginning of your billing cycle (i.e. $20 for one individual, $15 for each person after that). You'll be charged for data usage at $10/GB and for any additional charges (e.g. calls made abroad and extra high-speed data) at the end of your billing cycle.

When you get your first bill, you'll only be billed for the people who are already active on your plan. People who activate later will be prorated on the following bill.

Yes. If another plan works better for your family, you can schedule a switch anytime. If you're switching from Simply Unlimited to Unlimited Plus, the switch will take effect immediately. For all other switches, changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Everyone in a group plan must be on the same plan, so a plan switch affects everyone in the group. Only the group plan owner can initiate a plan switch for their group.

Yes. If you're new to Google Fi Wireless, you can set up a plan for your family during your checkout process. Just have the intended plan owner click "Join now" to get started. Each member in your family or group must be on the same plan.

If you're already a part of Google Fi Wireless you can invite people to your plan here. You can have up to six people, including the group plan owner, in a plan for your family. You can also quickly add people to your plan, manage your family's safety settings, see everyone's data usage, and more, in one place on the Fi app.

Yes. Fi is designed with your family's safety in mind, so all plans come with easy-to-use features and parental controls to give parents more peace of mind.

You can turn on spam blocking to block unwanted calls from robocallers and scammers, and you can see your family's real-time location in the Fi app while they're on the go. For children on Android phones, you can also choose to allow only calls and texts from trusted numbers, or set up Google Family Link from the Fi app to establish content filters, screen time limits, and more. Learn more about setting up Fi family safety features on the Help Center.

If your child uses an Android phone, you can set certain digital ground rules for your child at no additional cost by using Google Family Link. Fi makes it easy to get started with guided set up from the Fi app. When you set up Family Link for your child's account, you can guide them as they learn, play and explore online—including managing your child's apps, keeping an eye on their screen time, remotely locking their device, and more. Learn more.

Yes, Google Fi Wireless supports all standard messaging types, including SMS, MMS, shortcodes, and group texting.

For iPhone®, while iMessage will work out of the box, you'll need to update your iPhone® MMS settings to send and receive texts to and from Android phones. We'll walk you through this when you set up your phone, and you may have to update these settings when you get a new version of iOS.

Google Fi Wireless does not charge any extra fees to use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot on any of our plans. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your data with any Wi-Fi-compatible device. That data will count toward your monthly usage. If you're on Simply Unlimited, you can use up to 5 GB of hotspot tethering.

Google Fi Wireless optimizes all streaming video to maximize quality. On Flexible, video streams at the rate determined by you and the application provider. On Simply Unlimited or Unlimited Plus, Fi attempts to optimize video by streaming at up to 480p (standard definition). Video from some content providers may not be automatically optimized on Simply Unlimited and Unlimited Plus. If you're a content provider and your video service is not automatically optimized, please contact us at fi-content-requests@google.com.

If you use more than 15 GB of data on Flexible, more than 35 GB on Simply Unlimited, or more than 50 GB on Unlimited Plus in a cycle, you'll experience slower speeds (256 kbps) above those respective data thresholds until your next billing cycle begins. For reference, only 1% of Fi users ever hit 35 GB in a cycle.

If you need significant amounts of high-speed data, you can opt to pay $10/GB for the data you use past the data threshold for your plan in a given cycle (15 GB for Flexible, 35 GB for Simply Unlimited, or 50 GB for Unlimited Plus). Group plan owners can make this change in the Fi app or on desktop for any person in their group; non-group plan owners cannot initiate the change on their own.

These data thresholds are based on individual data usage, not group data usage.

Google One is a membership that helps you get more out of Google. You can get more space for everything with 100 GB of cloud storage, as well as extra benefits to give you full peace of mind, such as automatic phone backup (including original quality photos and videos, messages and more), premium support and family sharing. As a member, you'll also get perks like discounts on Google products.

Unlimited Plus includes a Google One membership with 100 GB of cloud storage for each eligible member at no extra cost. Once you activate on Fi, your Google One membership will take effect automatically. If you're already a paying Google One member and you subscribe to Unlimited Plus, your Google One membership will be discounted by $1.99/month and monthly charges for your Google One membership will transfer to your Fi bill.

Please note that some types of email accounts aren't eligible for Google One and automatic phone backup is limited to Android devices.

If you cancel or switch out of Unlimited Plus, your Google One membership will be canceled after 7 days. After 7 days, you and the people on your group plan (if family sharing is enabled) will lose access to your extra storage and member benefits. Each person will keep the default 15 GB of storage available to every Google user. If you're using more than 15 GB of storage, all your files will stay safe, but you won't be able to store anything new. Learn more here.

But don't worry, you can re-activate your Google One membership at one.google.com with plans starting at $1.99/mo.

Bill Protection is a feature built into the Fi Flexible plan that offers a way to save money. Here's how it works:

Data costs $10 for each GB used, until Bill Protection kicks in at a data threshold that depends on the number of people on your plan. After that, data is free for the rest of your billing cycle.

If you use 1.4 GB of data in a month, you'll pay just $14 for data. And if you're an individual plan owner who has used 10 GB of data, you'll never pay more than $60 for data.

If you use more than 15 GB of data in a cycle (less than 1% of individual Fi users as of Jan. 2018), you'll experience slower speeds above 15 GB with Bill Protection. You can opt out of slower speeds by paying for $10/GB any individual data used above 15 GB in a billing cycle.

Here's how it works for different group sizes:

Data used in the United States and any other covered country or territory qualifies for Bill Protection. You can learn more about our international coverage here.

1 year of YouTube Premium is available to each member on a Google Fi Wireless Unlimited Plus plan, except those under 13 years. You must maintain active service on the Unlimited Plus plan to retain YouTube Premium access on Fi. Additional terms apply. You can manage or cancel your YouTube Premium access on Fi within your Google Fi Wireless account anytime.

Your YouTube Premium subscription will end after 1 year from the date you start the service on Google Fi Wireless. At that time, your subscription will automatically renew into an individual monthly YouTube Premium subscription at $13.99/month (rate subject to change) and the monthly charge will be applied to your Fi bill until you cancel. You or your Google Fi Wireless group owner can opt out of the automatic renewal or cancel your YouTube Premium subscription at any time after you start your 1 year of YouTube Premium access on Google Fi Wireless. Learn more.

You will get 1 year of YouTube Premium at no extra cost with Google Fi Wireless. With YouTube Premium you get premium access to YouTube and YouTube Music, so you can enjoy your favorite videos and music ad-free, offline and in the background.

If you already subscribe to YouTube Premium as an individual subscriber through YouTube, once you start your 1 year of YouTube Premium on Google Fi Wireless, your existing YouTube Premium subscription and billing will automatically transfer to Fi and you will no longer be billed by YouTube.

If you're the family manager of an existing YouTube Premium family plan subscription, you will need to manually cancel your YouTube family subscription before you can start your 1 year of YouTube Premium on Google Fi Wireless. If you cancel your existing YouTube Premium family plan subscription, everyone on the plan will lose access.

If you're already a YouTube Premium subscriber through another Google service or company, you can start your 1 year of YouTube Premium on Google Fi Wireless, but your existing YouTube Premium subscription will not change unless you cancel.

Once you start YouTube Premium on Google Fi Wireless, your YouTube Premium service will be reinstated, with your music library and playlist carried over seamlessly.

For additional information on how to manage or cancel your existing YouTube Premium subscription, visit our help center.

If another plan works better, you can schedule a switch anytime. If you switch from the Unlimited Plus plan to the Simply Unlimited or Flexible plan or pause your Unlimited Plus plan, your YouTube Premium access will not be available until you resume active service on the Unlimited Plus plan.

Your YouTube Premium access will still end 1 year from the day you start the service on Google Fi Wireless regardless of if you pause or switch your plan during the 1 year period.
