Google Fi Rebrands and Expands Smartwatch Compatibility
Welcome to the world of Google Fi Wireless, where Google's wireless carrier has been rebranded with a clear identity and an array of new features. One of the most significant changes is the expanded smartwatch support, with Samsung's Watch 5 and Pixel Watch now compatible with Google Fi Wireless plans. Even better, the service has extended smartwatch support to its Simply Unlimited plan, making smartwatch connectivity available across all three plan types at no extra cost.
No Extra Fees for Smartwatch Connections
Unlike other carriers that charge an additional fee to add a smartwatch to your plan, Google Fi Wireless allows you to connect your Samsung Watch 5 or Pixel Watch without any extra charges. However, the device options remain limited, with no Apple Watch support currently available.

Simply Unlimited Plan Pricing and Features
Despite the inclusion of smartwatch support, the Simply Unlimited plan pricing remains mostly unchanged. Customers can enjoy two to four lines for $80 a month, which includes:
- 5GB of hotspot tethering
- Unlimited data
- Unlimited calls and texts within the US, Canada, and Mexico
There is a small price increase for the three-line Simply Unlimited package, but Google has promised to reimburse affected customers with bill credits for the next three billing cycles.
Complementary Phones with Each New Line
Google Fi Wireless is introducing an enticing perk for new subscribers - a complementary phone with each line added to any plan. Choose from the Google Pixel 6A, Samsung A14, or Motorola Moto G Power, and enjoy the convenience of a free device. However, there is a 24-month commitment to the wireless plan, with the device's value reimbursed via monthly bill credits. If you decide to cancel before completing the 24-month agreement, you'll need to pay the remaining balance on the device.
Redesigned Google Fi Wireless App
A revamped Google Fi Wireless app is also on the horizon, with features like adding new members to group plans and restricting communication to trusted phone numbers for children within the group. The updated app will roll out gradually over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for these exciting changes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Google Fi Wireless offers a competitive alternative to traditional carriers with its expanded smartwatch support, affordable pricing, and valuable perks. Keep an eye on the app store for the refreshed app, and get ready to enjoy a seamless wireless experience with Google Fi Wireless.
