This is how Google Fi will work with iPhones

Google announced today that its Project Fi wireless network, now renamed Google Fi, would be available for iPhones and most Android devices. It's supposed to open more phones with the unique features of Google Fi, such as flat rate billing; unlimited international roaming; and the ability to switch between multiple networks, such as T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular, for better service. However, if you plan to use your iPhone in Fi, you need to consider some caveats.

Although SIM cards have unofficially worked on non-Fi phones (including iPhones) with limited functionality, Google now supports iPhones directly. You can check the Google Fi site here and check if your phone is compatible, but to save you some time, you should know that iPhones will not be able to make calls or send SMS over Wi-Fi, use visual voicemail used as data hotspots outside the United States. Nor will they be able to take advantage of Fi's unique network switching capabilities. Google Fi Flat will not work on the iPhone 5, 5C or older.

You have an iPhone 5S, 6, SE or newer, provided it has been unlocked. This should not be as bad if you have a newer iPhone, as new iPhones can use LTE on any US LTE network. The reserves of Google Fi for iOS are all the more disappointing because they do not allow the change of operator, but automatically default to the T-Mobile network for calls, SMS and the data. You will also need to update your MMS settings to send and receive text to phones other than iPhones, but iMessage will work immediately. Google also states that you may need to update these settings several times a year if they are changed due to an iOS update.

Today's news is more of an official recognition of Google than the announcement of appropriate support. However, Google Fi uses a pretty good pricing model that might be cheaper than other operators, depending on the amount of data you use. Each phone line costs $ 20 and $ 10 per gig of data, which is $ 60. With Google Fi, you can receive your voice messages as transcribed texts without international roaming charges. If all of this suits you and you want to make the change, a Google Fi iOS app helps new users to configure themselves.
