| Just got my invite and signed up. Should be interesting. |

Not even remotely interested. Google has their nose way too far into my business already. I'd do Google Fiber but I can VPN to prevent their snooping, just like I already do with FiOS.
And I'm slowly weaning myself from most Google services anyway. Not fond of the government having a back door into my day to day doings. For email, try protonmail.ch. There's a signup list since it's still in beta, but it's encrypted email and it's not Gmail. ETA Clarification |

So far so good. Getting familiar with Android. Took about 10 hrs for iphone users using imessage to quit sending to my old phone instead of my cell #. Seem to be getting decent signal everywhere except my house in the valley. Ha ha..
Definitely don't do this if you expect polished service. I'm reading reports of a month or two ago and it's gotten a lot better since, but still is a "project". |
| It works great. I'm not a huge data user and the refunded data charges got my bill under $30. IMO just sign up for the $20 unlimited talk/ text and $10 1gig of data if you go over or need more it gets charged in $10 increments. Remember that it's beta, but any issues you'll get Google American tech support on the phone in under a minute or on email/phone in under three. One thing I found out two months back while setting up a transfer of my voice number is that it can take five days for that, there are different degrees of tech support, ranging from phone answerer, to very good to supervisor. I got to the supervisor in two calls and fifteen minutes. Had the issue sorted no problem. As someone mentioned in the Verizon thread google just dumped a billion in soaceX I think. Sign of things to come? Great phone, great service. If they cover your area its worth the wait. |

Quoted:
If you continue to have issues with not receiving iPhone users messages let us know. There is a known issue with Apples servers not recognizing the change in phone. Apple refuses to fix it and their is an ongoing class action lawsuit. The first and easiest thing to do is have the iPhone users delete their previous conversation with you. Quoted:

Been to GA and back on vacation. Been on multiple carrier towers(installed Signal Check to confirm towers), so far so good, have had calls transition from wifi to cellular, and also from one carrier to another. Just about to finish my 1st complete cycle, very pleased so far. Have been lugging around my Verizon Galaxy Nexus(calls fwd'd) and using Phone Leash to fwd all txts to the Nexus 6. Going to do another cycle before I make the transition completely.
Only complaint would be I hope they put out a widget to display this current cycles data usage, android's built-in data usage and various apps to monitor data I've tried all differ from the usage reported in the Project Fi app. |

I've been on it since 7/2 and it's been really solid for me...i've used voice over vpn'd network, wifi, and cellular and had calls transition to and from all 3 and didn't notice. I signed up for the 4gb data and haven't used anything close to that so i've been getting ~$35 credit each billing cycle.
I *love* the nexus 6. I'm 6'7" and have big hands and having a big phone has been great. The only issue I've run into is there's no sms gateway. So I had to pick up a burner phone from tmobile to get email alerts for work. Overall I'm extremely happy with the phone, the service and support from google. |

So I've been getting a lot of bill collection and marketing calls on my Fi phone. Realized that it's connected to the "hidden" number google fi assigns to the SIM. There isn't any way to determine the number. The only reason I figured that out is when I called 911 the "real" number popped up during the call.
I pinged google support and they can change it (devil you know vs maybe a worse number?) but can't determine it. Without calling 911 again, there isn't any way for me to determine what number I have to add to the national DNC. |
