Google has also recently added 5G support for iPhones and the ability to add Samsung or Google watches to your plan for free. The plan also now offers 5GB of hotspot data, though that is a "hard" cap where the hotspot feature stops after 5GB is used, as opposed to the data slowing. It now includes 35GB of high-speed data plus talk, text and data in Canada and Mexico. While its $50 pricing for one line is way higher than Mint's, if you have three lines or more you can save a little.Ĭalled Simply Unlimited, the plan runs roughly $27 per line per month with three lines and drops to $20 per month if you have four or more lines (both options run $80 per month total). Google has updated the unlimited plans on its Fi cell phone service that not only lowers the monthly price, but also adds in a few useful features. You could also go to a major carrier's store and see if it offers free ways to try out the service before switching over, such as T-Mobile's Network Pass, Cricket's trial program or Verizon's trial program. If you have any friends or family in your area who already use the prepaid carrier you're considering, ask about their experience. Mint uses T-Mobile (and is in the process of being acquired by T-Mobile).Boost Mobile uses AT&T and T-Mobile for now (it's switching to a combination of AT&T, T-Mobile and parent Dish's own network in the future).Each offers some version of 5G and I've broken this all down here, but to recap: Before you sign up for one, it's worth checking what the underlying network is. Prepaid providers almost always use someone else's service. This makes it hard to give a blanket recommendation of any one carrier: T-Mobile's service in New York may be excellent, but if you're in, say, rural Iowa, Verizon is more reliable. Buy now £149 Google.As I noted when covering the best unlimited plans, to get the most out of your deal you need to make sure you have the coverage you need. The router costs £119, the point on its own is £129, while router and point are £199. We haven’t tried this, but certainly with everything we could throw at it there was no slowdown. Google claims you can connect up to 200 devices at a time. You can also listen to music, for instance, through the wifi point as it’s a smart speaker, which responds when you say: “Hey, Google”.Īll the components are beautifully designed and pleasing to look at, so you won’t feel you need to hide them away.
It’s all controlled by the Google Home app which makes set-up easy and allows you to check connection speeds, how many devices are connected where, and more.
There are two distinct elements: the router (which connects by cable to your internet provider’s router) and the wifi point which spreads the signal. Google’s system is great at extending any wireless range, and you can add extra units whenever you like.
