Google today made it less costly for users of its Project Fi wireless service to add multiple lines to their accounts.
The first line still carries a $20 access charge, with data costing a flat $10 per GB. Moving forward, additional lines carry a $15 access charge (rather than $20) and they can be lumped into the shared data plan with the first line.
Google charges per megabyte each month, so people who don’t use their entire data allotment receive a refund at the end of the month. Project Fi doesn’t throttle speeds for those who use more than their allotment, but those people will be billed for their additional usage.
Project Fi, which relies on the wireless services of Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and open WiFi hotspots, is available to the Pixel and Pixel XL, as well as the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.
Google is now offering discounts on the latter two when people choose to buy and activate them via Project Fi. Project Fi’s group plan is available starting today.
