Google Fi cuts plan pricing, adds more high-speed data

The unlimited data plans are more affordable. In an email theMVNO sent to Engadget, it shared that it was reducing the monthly cost of its Simply unlimited and unlimited plus plans by up to $10 and $5 respectively, with the former starting at $50 per month for one line and the latter at $65 every 30 days.

Both plans come with additional high-speed data. If you have a Simply unlimited package, you can use up to 35GB of data, up from 22GB previously. The high-speed cap is now at 50 gigabytes. Simply unlimited subscribers will be able to use up to 5 gigabytes of data per month for hotspot tethering. That feature was limited to the more expensive Plus plan.

Fi customers can look forward to complimentary calling within Canada and Mexico. It was only possible to make calls to Canada and Mexico for free in the US.

With the price cut and feature changes, the Simply unlimited plan is comparable to other unlimited plans. T-Mobile's Essentials package starts at $60 per month for one line and comes with 50GB of high-speed data and unlimited 3G data when tethering devices to your phone, but you're limited to 480p when streaming videos.
