Google Renames MVNO Service Google Fi, Expands Device Support

Google’s three-year-old MVNO service Project Fi has been renamed Google Fi and now works with more smartphones including iPhones and most Android devices.

Google announced its Project Fi MVNO service in 2015, promising a seamless experience, automatically connecting users to the strongest available signal by switching between WiFi and LTE using Sprint and T-Mobile’s respective LTE networks. In 2016, Google added U.S. Cellular as a network partner.

Notably, seamless switching between multiple cellular networks isn’t supported on most BYOD phones, according to a blog post by Simon Arscott, director of Project Fi.
