August 06, 2025
Followingrumorsthat Google would rename Project Fi into Google Fi, the search giant made it official today. Google also announced thatGoogle Fi now supports many more smartphones, including those fromSamsung,LG,Motorola, OnePlus, and Apple.
You read that right. you’re able to officially use your iPhone on Google Fi.
You could technically get Project Fito work on iPhones and other smartphonesbefore today’s announcement. The problem was that you would not know if something was wrong until you tried. For example, we saw questionable call quality, slower speeds, and the lack of seamless carrier switching when we tested Google Fi on an iPhone 7 Plus.
With today’s announcement, however, none of the aforementioned issues should crop up anymore.
However, just because a phone is compatible with Google Fi, doesn’t mean it will get every Google Fi feature. Some phones, such as theMoto Z3and LG V30S, do not have access to automatic carrier switching or Google Fi’s VPN. You cango hereto see if your phone is compatible with Google Fi and which features may or may not be missing.
When it comes to iPhones, iMessage works just fine but you will have to update your iPhone’s MMS settings to send and receive texts with non-iPhones. You will also receive voicemails as texts and have them transcribed. Voicemails will not show up in theVoicemailsection of the Phone app.
Google Fi’s Network Tools feature will not work on iPhones. Network Tools is what allows for automatic carrier switching, enables a Google Fi VPN, and make Wi-Fi calls.
Base prices start at $20 for unlimited talk and text, $10 per gigabyte, and $15 per line up for up to five extra lines. Regardless of your plan make-up, Google Fi includesBill Protectionto prevent overage fees once your monthly data allotment is up, does not typically charge surprise fees, and makes sure you only pay for what you use — you will not get charged for unused data.
Heads up! We talked about this on the podcast too!
