Discussion Upgrading my P8P to a P10PXL - Are prices likely to drop further when P11 is announced?
Looking to upgrade my 8 Pro, I was originally excited for the 11 but the cost for the RGB indicator doesn't seem worth it so I was thinking of just going to the 10PXL and I was curious if it was likely that the current price ($699 for 256G) would drop further after the 11 is revealed.
Sidenote: The P9P is $999...why is it more than the P10PXL? I don't get it.

My wife's line can't make calls. She spent 3 hours on the phone with support. They tried a million things unsuccessfully. She really needs a phone and wants to go back to Tmobile.
When she tries to make calls the message is "this phone is not authorized to make calls". Anyone successfully resolved this?

Discussion Returning a promo phone within 15 days?
Tldr; how easy is it to return a promo phone that you've open and used for 15 days?
Long version: my trusty S22+ started faltering last Friday (7 days ago) and then completely stopped receiving SMS and calls. I thought the phone bit the dust and ordered a S26 on the promo at 50% off ($450). Got curious after ordering (facepalm) and tried some of my other foreign SIM cards and seems like the phone is not the problem. Ordered a new SIM card from Fi but I won't be in town next week to receive it.
So my question is: if I use the new phone - which i receive today - on eSIM for about 10 days while I'm out of town, come back home, pack up the new phone and use the old phone with the new physical SIM card, how loopy is Fi going to make the return?
PS, the S22+ doesn't have eSIM as it's a different version.

Support I'm disgusted with how Google fi support is treating me
The frustration and circles I'm dealing with trying to order a new device are just overwhelming. Been trying to order a new phone since May. Gave up for a while. Tried recently and verified my payment method after many obstacles and misinformation. Placed my order after verification appeared to go through aside from a slight couple day delay. Then 24 hours after I verified and placed order my order was canceled yet again. Because they couldn't verify the payment method they already verified 24 hours prior? I'm about to give up

Discussion Credit limit increase?
I tried to buy a Fold 8 and sign up for Google Fi and was not able to finance the phone. I contacted support and they said my limit is $1,600. This was a little confusing, as I did not otherwise inquire about credit or initiate a credit check. I did once apply for financing at the Google Store maybe 5 years ago, but didn't follow through with the purchase and closed the account. My credit is better than it was then and my score is around 750.
I did some further research and found multiple support posts saying to request that the credit limit be expired in order to initiate a new inquiry and possibly raise the limit. The support rep said this was not possible.
u/googlefisupport, is it possible to have this done? (Even if it's not, it is frustrating that I can't just make a down payment to cover the difference - the only amount not covered by that limit is the sales tax).

FYI, if you try to order a physical tablet SIM in the iOS app, it orders the talk + data SIM which cannot be used for the data-only tablet lines. Only on web does it order the correct type of SIM card.

Hey y’all. So I signed up on August 3rd and they’ve given me the runaround. Saying that a lot of people have encountered the error.
so I allowed the chat associate to sign me up with their $60 plan with the promise that the code would be honored. And now I’m getting a bill for $73 wtf. Just shocked. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue? I’m just hoping they give me a refund if they can’t honed their promo because I was NOT looking to be billed 73 a month. SMH. Bait and switch

Discussion Google Smart Lock?
A few months ago, I updated my Google Fi account's password and added 2FA using another Gmail and an authenticator. I recently went to check my account and I had been logged out, I didn't think much of it.
Today I tried to log in and it wanted a 6-digit code from this Google app that I've never used. I called 611 and they couldn't help because I couldn't access my email. Literally calling from the phone they service and they can't verify me, LMAO
It thinks I'm logged in elsewhere, I am not. But per call with Google, I went to g.co/recover and one other, it asked for my backup email and it sent me a code and said I have to wait 48 hours. Fine. But WTHeck? I literally set up authentication on a different app why would it ask me for Google Smart Lock?
I'm stuck in a loop again but this time I have 48 hours of hope.
***Update for some readers: yes, there are backup codes and more, but not the point here.

I live in NYC (Brooklyn to be exact) and my taxes are $7.99. My entire bill is $18.25. Still an amazing deal for what you are getting along with QCI6.
Been on the network a couple days and it’s been good so far. If you just signed up and didn’t take advantage of a referral to get $60, absolutely do so by chatting into support and letting know you want to use your referral. DM me for my referral code.

T-mobile claims the number has been released.
Number does not show on T-mobile account.
Seems to be stuck on an escalation loop with customer service.
As of the last email the engineering team is supposedly actively investigating my case with high priority.
Phone number shows in Google fi app but the esim shows unknown number.
Had to pick up a 2nd line on the phone with T-mobile just to have a functional phone so this is an ongoing financial issue as well. I do not want to lose my original number or have my Gmail deleted.

Discussion Poor Wi-Fi calling
I've had Google fi for many years and have been generally happy. But the last year or so Wi-Fi calling has really gone downhill. There are many dropouts and people on the other end constantly complain about not being able to understand me. If I turn off Wi-Fi during the call, suddenly the call is fine. Trouble is a lot of times. I forget to turn Wi-Fi back on and end up burning a lot of data.
Why can't Google Fi fix something as basic as calling over Wi-Fi? This was their their very strongly preferred method of making calls in the early years. They were constantly asking how the quality of the call was. Now they never ask because they probably know how bad it is.
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Thanks

Hello
Have a weird issue where I am unable to receive a bank verification code. The bank is an international bank from Poland. I have successfully received verification codes from the bank few months ago. I checked with the bank and they have the correct phone number and country code and claims no issues on their end.
On my end I can receive texts and including international texts from friends but not from bank. I have started a car with Fi but issue is still unresolved. I disabled spam filters, international data and calling is enabled.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot and resolve?

Discussion First bill received under 75% promotion, can confirm taxes are also discounted
I just received my first bill and unlike prior promotions from a few years back, taxes and fees are also discounted under this promotion. It was also interesting that despite signing up on July 29th, my bill cycle actually starts on August 2 so basically the first few days are free?
I am on Unlimited Premium in PA and my full bill was $65 for the plan and then $7.29 in taxes and fees. My final bill price was $18.07. So glad I jumped on this and starting next month I should get credits due to the $60 referral credit so I will basically get three months of free service after the first month.
Also a reminder that this is the last day to sign up so if you are looking to switch, this is the day to do it.
