Customers are enthusiastic about the unlimited data offered by the Fi Wireless Unlimited Plus Talk/Text/Data SIM Kit, praising its international functionality and speed. The affordable price is also a major plus for many users. However, some customers experienced difficulties activating the SIM card and found the overall process challenging.
Intention was to get this & use in extra phone or iPad & had problems with it from the start, but really had trouble switching the sim to any different devices. Would recommend MINT MOBILE instead. Much smoother, worked eventually, anyways.

I received an expired sim kit, too. It indicates ‘activate by 10/11/2022’. I contacted Google Fi customer center but they don’t have no idea about the situation at all. The rep told me that they had no promotion with Bestbuy. I will return the sim to a nearby store tomorrow but am worrying if they won’t accept the return.

Misrepresented as advertised, instead of purchasing the card with one month’s of $65 credit, I’m now being double charged because as the service agent claimed they have changed their policy, but haven’t bothered to change their packaging. Originally had a previous SIM card from Google Fi that stopped working and wouldn’t activate, so purchased this new one at the price and still couldn’t activate it, packaging had a 2022 date on it. Contacted customer support initially to get it activated and to ensure I wouldn’t be charged again because they asked to reactivate the account which required another SIM card order. After a week of use, the account billing didn’t update and was being charged another $65 so contacted customer support where I was told that their terms had changed and that returning customers aren’t given the $65 credit that should come with the card when purchased. Customer support provided no assistance in clarifying why their outdated packaging is misrepresenting the terms. So I’m now having to pay $130 for one month’s of service due to misrepresentation of service on this packaging and lack of clarification from the customer service agent when setting up the product.
