Google Nexus 6 Phone Owners Gets Own Project Fi Mobile Network

Owners of the Google Nexus 6 will be pleased to know that the search engine giant is planning to offer them wireless service for their own mobile network called Project Fi.

Google launched an early invite program for Project Fi on Wednesday for Nexus 6 phone owners. Project Fi requires a special SIM card for it to work. The tech giant said that the program is still in early access and other Nexus phones are not supported yet.

What is different with Project Fi is that the company will only charge Google Nexus 6 owners on how much data they consumed within the month, instead of the usual flat rate. If the Nexus 6 phone owner fails to consume what is paid for, Google will give back the change, according to The Verge.

Google will charge $10 for each GB of data. For instance, if a $50 plan was paid for and only 2.5GB of data was consumed, the Nexus 6 phone owner will be refunded $25. However, if the customer exceeds data use, Google will still charge $10 over the data.

Sprint and T-Mobile will be part of the Project Fi. Google's wireless service will automatically switch between the two on which has the strong reception. Both LTE and Wi-Fi networks will be used.

Google said on their company blog post that their Nexus 6 from Motorola is the first Nexus phone to support the software and hardware for the Project Fi. In addition, there are certain places where Google has coverage which means that the mobile network is not entirely available for each area.

For interested Google Nexus 6 users, there is a link on their blog for signing up and a map search for the coverage area. Google still has no announcement on when it will be bringing the mobile network for other Nexus phone users.
