Lots of misunderstanding in these comments. Google Fi service is not going anywhere, Google is not cancelling any services. The Pixel Pass is basically just a bundle of optional services that can be added to your Fi account for a very slight discount. You do not get a free phone, you get interest free financing on your phone. Because they are cancelling the Pixel Pass Google has given me $100 credit towards my next phone, which is a better deal than the Pixel Pass itself.
Like many people I'm not happy with a lot of things Google has been doing lately, but the Pixel Pass being cancelled is not important.
Thanks for pointing out that typo, I fixed the credit amount
I hate Google as much as the next guy but I don't think switching to the product of an even more capitalistic company, one that is completely locked down and doesn't allow you to install your own OS, is actually a good solution…
Damn. Shoulda kept your Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it.
I'm so glad I keep seeing the "just GOS it", I greatly prefer my GOS pix6 to the stock one. As I said in an earlier comment in this post, I just can't switch the stock one over fast enough!
Except that you're lying
That's 12.50 cents a month. You could have literally cancelled at any time.
