Yeah I use Fi for myself and my parents. I got my dad a free phone no strings attached for signing up. It was a Moto G 5g or something. Decent phone. Nothing amazing but hey it was basically free and works well. They occasionally have decent deals and are probably one of the better of the cheap services that I have had.
Edit: if you can stomach paying money to Google that is. I'm not plugging a company. But then tbf there are no service providers in the US that aren't evil...
I basically joined up because the s22 was the only reasonably sized phone that would last me the 4-5 years I wanted out of it, and my parents wanted me off their plan lmao.
I used a different google account than my main account for the service because Fi can be sketchy with shutting down your account and all that if they charge you fraudulently and you get a chargeback.
Service is basically TMobile. There's only like 3 real network providers anyway.
Yeah of it's not AT&T or Verizon it's T-Mobile. If it's anything else then it's also T-Mobile because it will use their network. lol. I haven't been fucked by Fi yet. Although they did recently change their rates so that basically the price doesn't change if you have 3 or 4 people on so it's better to get 4 people to split the bill lower per person. lol.
I had Straight Talk before this and it was the shitty Walmart one and let me tell you, that shit was sketchy. Transferring numbers was a pain in the ass. Half the time the website didn't work. Etc. Then they got bought out by Verizon and it got worse as they tried to force people to join and pay like 3 times as much. Jumped ship after that.
