Google Fi works great in Thailand
I just started listening to Mary Jo and Paul’s Windows Weekly. There was a comment about Google Fi in Asia – Mary Jo had a great experience in Japan.
In case there’s any doubt… Google Fi works great in Thailand, too. I’m using the same phone, same SIM card that I use in the States. I get incoming calls from the US — which is a real pain in the neck with spam calls at 2:00 in the afternoon US time, which is 2:00 am here. Learned that lesson quick.
I pay 20 cents per local call, coverage is good – equal to the best 4G coverage in Thailand, including very rural areas – and it’s still just $10 per GB. Of which I’ve used quite a few.
Hope to test it in Cambodia soon.
In fact, it works so well that my next phone – after the Nexus 6P rolls over and plays dead – will definitely be a Google Fi-compatible phone.
