Project Fi now works in 37 more countries; buy a compatible phone and get a free month of service

Project Fi can tell you in advance if your destination is supported by its service

Google's hybrid MVNO Project Fi has added 37 new countries to its international coverage list. With the new additions, Project Fi now supplies talk, text and data to 170 countries around the world. Pricing remains the same for text and data. Unlimited texting is offered in all countries on the list and data remains priced at $10/GB until Bill Protection kicks in, limiting your monthly payment at $80 ($60 for data + $20 for talk/text). Phone calls outside of the U.S. are billed at 20 cents per minute and are not included in Bill Protection.

Project Fi will even send out a notification to let you know if you are covered by the MVNO when you are going out of the country. Based on your correspondence in Gmail, Project Fi knows where you're going and will tell you whether it can provide service there.

Now might be a good time for you to take a look at Project Fi. In fact, the MVNO is running a deal that gives away a free month of individual service (worth $80) to a subscriber who purchases a new phone from Project Fi. The choices are limited to the four currently available Pixel phones, the Moto X4 (Android One model), Nexus 6, Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X.

These countries now are covered by the Project Fi MVNO"

Yeah, no Canada, and no Mexico. That sucks. Come on Google go to these places as well. But I have a funny feeling that in Canada it will be really hard. Because the regulatory governing bodies are pricks.

Looks like both Canada and Mexico are already covered. fi.google --> about --> rates I have less than 30 posts on this site, so it won't let me include the URL. Or do you mean that you can't start service from these countries?

If you look closer, there is no United States on this picture either╮（╯＿╰）╭ This is a list of newly added countries, not a list of all countries covered

nah, why bother with Project Fi? Just go that country and buy a pre-paid sim card for 5 bucks, euros, pounds, or whatever local currency and u get thousands of minutes and gigs of data. this option is for the ignorant americans.
