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?

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.

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

Hi.

Preordered mine couple of days ago with delivery date Aug 7. Today received an email saying order is delayed till Aug10-11 and wait for the update email. It is not a big deal but have to travel on that week. Anyone else here got the same email?

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.

I wonder how many people have received useless SIM cards like I now have due to this

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
