Google Fi Wireless: 11 Things To Know Before You Sign Up

Google Fi offers a referral program. Earn $60 for each friend you refer. They'll get $60, too. You can earn up to a total of $600 in referral credits. Each person you refer needs to keep their service active for 30 consecutive days and pay their first bill in full for you to earn your referral credit.

You can get $60 of Google Fi credit by using my referral code "UEXKM0" (without the quotes).

However, please ask your friends or family members who are on Google Fi for their referral code to help them out!

Google Fi also offers numerous discounts and trade-in deals on the latest smartphones.

Yes, Google Fi supports family plans. You get a discount for each line you add. You get the maximum discount when you have four or more lines.

Google Fi's multi-line discount is excellent, and in my opinion their Unlimited Standard plan with four or more lines is one of the best-value family plans available on the T-Mobile network.

Yes, Google Fi supports adding a tablet or smartwatch to your plan.

All of Google Fi's plans include a free smartwatch line in the price. However, only the Unlimited Premium plan supports adding a free tablet line as well.

The Unlimited Essentials and Unlimited Standard plans do not support tablet lines.
