Why I LOVE Google Fi Wireless & Who Should NOT Use Google Fi
As a weekend cruiser, I travel a lot internationally just about every weekend and need a strong cell phone provider. After some astronomically high bills, I switched to Google Fi Wireless's Unlimited Plan because of their strong international calling and data plans. It is truly the best international cell phone plan.
After 2 years and 34 countries later, I'll share my review of Google Fi. It has has drastically enhanced my international traveling experiences! Though, there are people who should not use Google Fi...

I got no coupons using your link and the prices are higher than you displayed.
I couldn't agree more. I've never had any problems since I've switched.

If you travel internationally any at all, it is a no-brainer!!! And HELLO friend!

Give it a whirl! I think it is at least worth the 7 day trial to see what you think. Even if you don't love it, no contract. Link in description to save you some money too.
Interesting to hear that it now works in the Bahamas. Thanks for the update, Brandon!

It does! When i first got the service Bahamas was BAD. It was very slow and wouldn't always connect without playing with the setting. VERY glad they fixed that and it just connects now.
Great video Brandon! I couldn't agree more that Fi is the best international option. Nothing better than waking up in Nassau and automatically having service! I got H+ in Spain a couple of times. Was pretty exciting.

It is very true! Even randomly sailing around, I will wake up and have messages from where it connected in middle of night! Love my Fi!
Out of curiosity, any chance you’ve used Google fi in China? If so, was the VPN required to be turned on before you go, or you can turn it on after arrival? I see that China is listed in their locales you can have service and data…I currently have Tmo and I did the 7 day Google fi trial, I had zero issues with it and I actually liked the app…very easy to read, simply laid out, etc. Thanks for a great video!
Quick question. What video editor do u use? Can u use it on the fly?

I used Adobe Premiere Pro for the first 2 years but have outsourced now and best decision I ever made. There is no quick way to edit videos. Glad to refer you over to the group I use as I think they are pretty great if you are interested.
Agree on everything except the customer service.. Everytime I've called Fi with an issue, the service I received was stellar! Ymmv, but my experience couldn't be more different.

That is actually really great to hear you have had a better experience! I love being wrong on the negative items!
Thank you, I’m about to switch over from Verizon! I hate that Google sucks with customer service tho!

Use the affiliate link in the description to try it out! Might depend on what you call in for but for the most part, you really don't need it.
Their customer service is beyond atrocious. I have only used Fi for one week and in that week they lost my 18 year old phone number (It ported itself out of my account somehow!?), this caused my account to close, which terminated my introductory billing credits (Which no one is willing to fix, or says they can't fix) so I don't get billing credits for my new phone purchase anymore. And ontop of all of this, I have had to fix all of my 2FA to a new number. I have spoken to three separate supervisors and not one of them has even so much as appologised. TERRIBLE PROVIDER. Good if it works I guess, but man if you have a problem, it SUCKS.
My gawd you all have expensive cell/internet service..........I pay 8 euro a month for unlimited data and here in the EU we have free roaming (perfect for cruises LOL) Cool that what you're talking about you can use in all those countries. We can usually do a "x-country plan" to add on for a few euro. You're talking stuff I don't understand at all LOL I don't want to talk to people not on the ship anyway ;-) OOOOHHHH okay well at minute 10 I should've just deleted this message but thought I'd leave it up anyway 😀

I pay like $300 for my T-mobile unlimited unlimted with world connect plan. So it works everywhere except Nepal. Nepal is a problem. T-mobile does not work in Nepal. But no cruise ships go to Nepal, so there's that.
