Google Phone Plan (or other 2017 options)

Just ran across this today and wondered if anyone had any knowledge about it!

I am using verizon but hate not having MORE data.

With a Cell amp can I switch to one of the other networks and keep my signal??

$10/GB seems a little high? I pay $68 for 12GB with Verizon.

With a good amplifier you should be able to . I know you can with ours. Perhaps may need a reboot of amplifier with others.

This would be an expensive plan for storm chasing. I pay $110 / mo for 24GB with Verizon. Google Fi would cost $240 / mo for the same amount of data. Verizon also gives you the option of changing how much data you get charged for every month. It adds a bit of extra work, but keeps costs low. I work in IT, and everybody on my team has considered Google Fi. In the end, most of us ended going with Verizon (for speed and coverage) and T-Mobile (for price).

I imagine at some point it wont matter if you have tmobile (or someone else) with or without a cell amp

Just wondering if/when I make that switch to save a few bucks.

Someone with TMobile go take a weboost to the Oklahoma panhandle!

I poked around on their website looking at the coverage maps, and I do better with Sprint for the most part, since they have a partnership with US Cellular to share LTE traffic (which opens up the panhandles, most of Kansas, NE, and Iowa).

In what areas I do have issues, I can turn on a prepaid Verizon hotspot that will fill in the data gaps. Other than that, it works.
