What do you think of Fi? I've been really enjoying my new phone plan for four reasons:
1) calls via wifi if 4G is not available
2) voicemail transcription
3) 20/month smartphone plan
4) remains connected to wifi (other phones I've found disconnect frequently esp. on unsecured wifi)
I had two experiences bouncing between Philadelphia and Delaware. In Philadelphia for some reason I got rather slow speeds, usually below 8Mbs. In addition I received a number of remarks about inability to hear me, poor quality etc. Delaware oddly was the opposite 15Mbs down, and no complaints about call quality. I had been a TMobile cusotmer for the past several years, and it's below that but the price was good.<p>The pay as you go usage was really good. I really only used my data in Delaware. I often ended up about 30$ a month or so. There were a couple of occasions where it would If it weren't for the call quality I would have stayed but...<p>I had heard some complaints about call reception for Nexus 5X. I didn't get to try it on another carrier. My phone was knocked out of my hand at a bus stop, and the screen cracked. I would say go for it. There are good promotions for the Nexus phones if you need one with project fi activation.
I really like it, too. Reception is really good in my area, and I'm often connected to WiFi anyways.<p>I was a bit worried that the "pay for actual usage" bit would make me be a bit more frugal about my phone use, but it hasn't turned out that way.
