> outrageous fees for Google FI

Last I checked, they were asking for $20 / month for unlimited calling and texting. Do you consider that outrageous?

As an alternative, Google Voice will host your phone number for free. It works with every WiFi connection and even while traveling internationally. Have you considered that?

It's pretty outrageous if you already have a local sim, so you're basically paying google $20/month to only receive SMS messages.


That's interesting, will have to check that out. People have mentioned online sms, which sounds pretty much like what I need.

But yeah re:Google Fi, $240/y to recieve maybe 3 sms is pretty bad imo. And unlimited is only within US.


If you use Google Voice, don't get too attached to the number. They'll reclaim it in a heartbeat for various reasons.
