Google Fi != Google Fiber

One is a cell phone plan, one is an ISP.

Yeah, I have it on an iphone even though I'd prefer not to, but I haven't found a competitor worth switching to.

How does that work? I thought there was no way to override the default dialer? Or is it just an app running over data?

Google Fi is an MVNO. They give you a sim, service is provided via T-Mobile mostly. (It used to have Android required special roaming on Sprint, but T-Mobile absorbed Sprint, so that's moot)

Ahh.c that explains it. I’ve been on sprint forever, on a long grandfathered unlimited plan. I was only actually swapped to a T-Mobile sim about 6 months ago.
