Google’s Project Fi introduces family plans, discounts on Nexus 6P and 5X
July 18, 2025
If you’ve loved the idea of Google’sProject Fibut wanted to wait until more users could be on the same plan, we have some good news: Google has justintroducedfamily plans to Project Fi!
Now up to six people can be on one plan, which will certainly make it easier for families and groups of friends to pay their bills, track their data usage and manage settings. Adding new members to your Fi account is easy (and pretty cheap, too). It costs just $15/month per line for Fi Basics (unlimited talk and text), and just like with individual plans each gigabyte of data will cost you $10. Of course, you’ll still get refunded for your unused data, so you’ll never pay for what you don’t use.
There are no contracts or long-term commitments, either, so members can easily join and leave plans as they please without worrying about cancelation fees.

For starters, you’ll only pay one bill, not a separate one for each member. Account members can still view their personal data usage in the Project Fi app, and account managers can take that one step further and view usage per member. This way you’ll no longer have to guess how much data each person has been using. Account managers will also be able to add data safeguards to verify a member doesn’t go overboard. You’ll receive data usage breakdowns per app to help you figure out what’s driving data usage to make more informed decisions.
Since this is Google’s mobile network, you’ll have to have a Google phone.Google’s new Pixel and Pixel XLare compatible with the network, and the company will continue to sell theNexus 6Pand5Xthrough the Project Fi site. What’s more, Google is offering $100 off the Nexus 6P and $150 off the Nexus 5X when you buy and activate through Project Fi. That puts the 6P at just $399 or $16.63/month, and the 5X at only $199 or $8.29/month. Not bad at all!
