Google's Project Fi wireless service prefers WiFi whenever it can right out of the box. That coupled with rock bottom prices & the ability to hop onto whichever network you like make it the best mobile provider around imo [just a user, no affiliation]

The prices per gb, while initially ground breaking, are now some of the highest in the industry. Look around.

Can you elaborate? I just did a cursory Google and it's not clear to me why this is true.

They're $10/gb flat with refunds for unused GB. At what usage levels do you think they're 'some of the highest rates in the industry?'

I use <3 gb/MO, mainly because the mobile <-> WiFi switching is so seamless, and I've never paid more than $50/mo off contract. The UX is also top tier, which i couldn't say about Straight Talk (my last provider).

I'll buy that they're not the cheapest, but which plan offers substantially cheaper?

Can you really hop onto whichever network you like? I thought they made that decision for you.

Yeah, Google made the decision at activation I think, but the helpful authors of this app helped me un-make it
