Appears as if Google Fi will switch between T-Mobile (Sprint... now part of T-Mobile), and one I've never heard of US Cellular (small & rural)... so really.... two. This was from a couple of years ago....

They've got to be "spoofing" the sim .... from what I know about tech. It sounds kinda gimmicky and more PR than real coverage. If T-Mobile isn't viable in your area .... and it isn't everywhere, then good luck. If AT&T and Verizon join "that game" then it totally changes "the game" imo.

Mebbe they have.... but why would they?

Just "techie musings"... here ....

It sounds like how I think some roaming used to work. If you phone worked on a particular set of frequencies/networks, and your carrier contracted with another carrier for roaming, then you would get service on the other carrier, but probably had to pay increased charges for the roaming.

If I had to guess, I'd say that it's basically, it's a T-mobile phone. Not too great a surprise since I think the first few Google phones, G1, G2, etc..., were on the T-mobile network, I believe.
