Don't worry Google, it's not you — it's me. Okay, maybe it was a little you?

When Google first announced what was then called Project Fi on April 22, 2015, I was more than a little intrigued. As a tech journalist, it was easy for me to see the appeal of a carrier with flexible data that worked seamlessly in the US and abroad. I signed up immediately.

At the time, it was hard to imagine a better option. Not only did I love the international coverage, but the service itself felt more like a postpaid provider. I used the service for more than six years straight, but fast forward to 2025, and I haven’t been a regular Google Fi user since about 2021. I still reactivate it occasionally for testing, and I’d likely use it again if I started traveling more frequently.
