Google Fi is now called Google Fi Wireless after a third rebrand in the eight-year history of the MVNO service. To celebrate the new name, Google is adding smartwatch connectivity, a one-week eSIM trial, and an updated app for easier plan navigation.
Wireless plans will now support not only the Pixel Watch but also the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series. Support for all smart wearables is expanding to the Unlimited plan, whereas it was previously only available on Unlimited Plus and Flexible. Devices can stay connected without a phone at no extra cost.
Adding a new line to any plan will give you a free phone: a choice of Samsung Galaxy A14, Pixel 6A or Moto G Power. However, the phones are expected to remain within the plan for the next 24 months, and the value of the device will be repaid via bill credits each month. Early opt-out means you have to pay the price for the phone, depending on how much time is left.
The Google Fi Wireless app is more family-friendly, allowing the owner to limit who can call or text children within the same group. The redesigned app is still rolling out and should be available to all users in the coming months.
