Project Fi now supports tablets and other data-only devices
August 22, 2025
Update:To clarify, the data-only plans still require you to have a phone account with Project Fi as well. For more details,head here.
Google has been making some notable improvements to itsProject Finetwork over the past few months, and today the company has some pretty big news. Project Fi now supports tablets and other data-only devices. Now you’ll be able to access a cellular connection from tablets and other connected devices while you’re out and about. All you need to do is order a data-only SIM card from Google, put it in your device, follow the on-screen instructions, and you’re all set. As you might expect, the data-only plans cost the same as Project Fi’s smartphone plans – $10 per gigabyte of data, and you’ll be refunded for the data that you don’t use.
If this is something that interests you, take a look atProject Fi’s data-only SIM coverage map.
There is no monthly line access fee. You simply pay for the data you use, and that’s it. Thelist of tablets compatible with the Fi networkis somewhat limited at the moment, but we’re sure more will be added in the near future:
Google says data-only SIM cards may work with other devices that aren’t on this list, but they’ll need to be unlocked and work with T-Mobile’s GSM network. You can add up to nine data-only devices on the same account, though there’s unfortunately no tethering. Google says you can even set up a data-only SIM card in your phone, though you won’t have the ability to make phone calls or send texts through the cellular network.
Up until now, Project Fi was only compatible with theNexus 6P,Nexus 5XandNexus 6. It’s great to see the Fi network grow, and to see more and more devices added to the lineup. Are you more inclined to try out Project Fi now that tablet support has been added? Let us know what you think in the comments.
