google fi
« on: June 05, 2017, 07:05:05 PM »
Ok so I did search the forums for answers to my questions, but to no avail :-(

We are traveling to Israel and Switzerland for three weeks this summer. We (my husband and I) have Verizon wireless domestic plans. I have the Pixel, he has an Android. I understand I am able to use my Pixel for Google fi (altho I bought it from Verizon, so not sure?? can I? ), and this looks like a much cheaper option for me then Verizon's international plan. Question: Can I use my pixel for the three weeks to just use google fi abroad, without cancelling my verizon domestic plan? any tips on how this works?

Yes. Go on their site and it'll ask you to order one along the process.

Ok - lastly, anyone know if you can use your same phone number for that travel time without it canceling your domestic/messing up your verizon plan?

You should be able to forward your VZW number to your Fi number.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
