What you need to know
- Google Fi has dropped U.S. Cellular as one of its two support networks.
- This change now leaves T-Mobile as Google Fi’s only officially supported network.
- Subscribers will still be able to utilize the U.S. Cellular network when roaming with no additional charge for doing so.
Google Fi has dropped one of its two supported carriers for subscribers, but it isn’t a cause for alarm.
The recent change to Google Fi’s supported cellular networks was essentially stumbled upon by a subscriber’s conversation with customer support shown on Reddit (via 9to5Google). The Redditor was attempting to connect to the U.S. Cellular network, but their phone wouldn’t even try to establish one stating there was “no subscription.” After a short conversation with support, they were told that “U.S. Cellular is no longer an official network for Google Fi.”
