      when traveling Communist countries in Asia with google fi it was really nice to have

      but then they revoked my data service while charging me the same amount every month, because they said I’m traveling too much.

            Seems entirely reasonable to me, depending on the country it costs them extra to route your calls overseas to another network.

              Fi makes it pretty clear that use outside the US is meant to be temporary (unless you’re on military duty overseas). The person you replied to got a really long run and honestly has no cause for complaint.
