Project Fi is still alive. It may not be exactly creating a big buzz today but Google’s very own cellular service is impressing subscribers, although there are only a few of them. Google recently released an update that brings support for data-only mobile devices. This includes tablets and other devices that can receive data only–no calls or messages.
Google’s Project Fi team is ready to bring data-only SIM for anyone who wants mobile Internet connection on their tablets via cellular connection. This kind of mobile access can also be shared with other tablets so they can also connect to the Internet via the access you provide.
The data-only SIM offers cellular data. Current Project Fi subscribers can get their data-only SIM for free. Check your Project Fi account and order the SIM you can pop inside a compatible device.
Project Fi is presently an exclusive offering. You need to sign up for it and wait to receive an official invitation. So far, we know that you can just order for the data-only SIM. If activated, you can share data to anyone now. Note that your new SIM shares the same data budget with your main mobile phone. Data-only SIM cards are available in more that 120 countries.
I have a Project-Fi phone, and I just don’t see the value in this since you can just make the Project-Fi phone into a hotspot for the exact same end result at the exact same cost.
Just want to recommend this service. I was on T-Mobile and for more coverage and less data fees I cut my bill in have for the same quality. Sign up if you haven’t yet.
