It may be new to you, but Google Fi or formerly known as Project Fi is a carrier service that gives you the best data coverage. It offers data plans that are catered to your needs wherever you are. If you are a heavy data user, you like to watch on Netflix, play games, or surf on your social media accounts, the unlimited data plan is for you. On the other hand, if you're not much of a data user because you do everything under your Wi-Fi, you can choose the flexible plan. Your monthly bill will only cost you the data you used.
