The app from the Google virtual operator
Google is determined we have the best possible Internet connection, whether by launching aerostatic balloons in one place or laying fiber-optic cable in another. And now it also features its own virtual operator so that mobile browsing is faster than ever.
What is Google Fi?
It is basically a phone plan with simpler pricing and smarter coverage. Wherever you are, Google Fi (previously known as Project Fi) searches for the strongest signal for your network access, whether it be Wi-Fi or one of the operators that belong to the program.
What's more, users can go for an unlimited plan, with no contracts or extra fees, or only pay for the data they use. Where's the catch? Well, for the moment the service is only available in the US, so if you are not a US resident, you will have to wait.
