Google Fi's unlimited plans are now cheaper.
Google recently announced in a blog post that the price of its Google Fi's unlimited phone plans and feature updates to all its phone plans would start at $20.
The company is also offering either a discount or a Google Fi bill credit if interested customers want to join or add a Google Fi line for a limited time to celebrate the price reduction.
Google Fi Simply Unlimited Price Reduction
According to Google's blog post, the price of Google Fi's Simply Unlimited plan will now start at $20 per month instead of its previous price of $30 per month. The company says that the price reduction further secured the Simply Unlimited plan's reputation as Google's most affordable unlimited plan, especially for families and groups.
Google's infographic on the Simply Unlimited plan supports its claim, with the $20 starting price covering more than four lines. This more affordable price is perfect for families and bigger groups.
The company also reduced prices for Simply Unlimited plans covering less than four lines. The Simply Unlimited plan for three lines now costs $25 instead of $30, while the subscription covering two lines has a price tag of $40 instead of $45. Finally, the Simply Unlimited plan covering just one line now costs $50 from its original price of $60.
Summary for Simpley Unlimited:
- 4+ lines- $20/line
- 3 lines- $25/line
- 2 lines- $40/line
- 1 line- $50/line
In addition to the price reduction, Google increased the plan's high-speed data from 22GB to 35GB and included 5GB of hotspot tethering for internet connection sharing to other devices while on the go.
Google also added unlimited calling within Canada and Mexico with its Simply Unlimited Plan.
Google Fi Unlimited Plus Price Reduction
Google Fi's Unlimited Plus plan also received a price reduction of five dollars in all of its plans. As such, the Unlimited Plus plan for more than four lines now costs $40 instead of $45, and the plan for those with three lines, two lines, and one line cost $45, $55, and $65, respectively.
Summary for Unlimited Plus:
- 4+ lines- $40/line
- 3 lines- $45/line
- 2 lines- $55/line
- 1 line- $65/line
Just like with the Simply Unlimited plan, Google added more high-speed data to the Unlimited Plus plan. It now has 50GB of high-speed data per month as well as unlimited calling within Canada and Mexico for free.
No Changes on Google Fi's Flexible Plan
CNET reported that Google Fi's Flexible plan did not receive a price reduction. As such, it would continue to have a price tag of $17 a month per line for four lines for unlimited calls and texts, plus $10 per gigabyte for data at home and abroad.
However, the plan did receive unlimited calling within Canada and Mexico at no extra cost.
Limited Time Discounts
Google revealed that it would offer either a discount or a Google Fi bill credit for a limited time to celebrate the price reduction.
Interested customers who want to join or add a line to their plan can save up to $500 on select phones or get a $100 bill credit if they bring their own phone. However, Google reminds people that its Terms apply to the discount, which can be read on their website.
Google Fi is Google's cell phone carrier which gives customers data service on both T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular, something which a compatible phone will intelligently switch between, per Android Central.
