The **free** data only sim availability can't be understated here. The thing to remember is that data is data so anything over the 6Gb from **all** your devices is under bill protection. The most my bill has been was $86 and some change which is 1/2 of what I was paying on Sprint with a phone plus a hot spot. If I'm not mistaken the most your bill could ever be in the Philadelphia market is $20 (the basic plan) + $60 ($10/Gb up to the 1st 6Gb) + $5.00 device protection + taxes (< $7.00) so call it $92 if you use 6Gb or more.
Its a billing win and the services works.
The only issue if you care, is that when you are on wifi sometimes the ring cycle is truncated due your phone being located. Calls will definitely go to voicemail more but if you don't care about that then you're fine. If you do, then stay of wifi unless you're going you know you're going to be using a lot of data.

with FI:
- Activation is 10x simpler than other phones
- Free data-only SIM cards for your tablets to share your plan.
- data is $10/G , then free after 6G
- international data use is same price.
This has saved me so much in monthly fees over major carriers.
Gotta second Goggle Fi now. Not a lot of issues but the experience for me has been very good.
Cheaper phones too:

While troubleshooting my phone, my SD card dematerialized.
After buying another one, my phone went into the Bootloop of Death.
So tonight is phone night.
near $1k is ridiculous for a phone. Seeking recommendations for carrier
V. I like the LG G7. She likes Samsung. Are there any slightly less
ridiculous offerings that still perform? [No brand G, no iDevices]
thanks.
