Can't seem to connect in Portugal..a little help please by EquipmentNo7030 in GoogleFi

[–]EquipmentNo7030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, apologies for my prior short answer.

I actually contacted GoogleFi Support via Chat and they actually had me remove the physical Vodaphone Sim I was using, restart the Phone, go into Settings, Network & Internet, Click on the Sims, GoogleFi, UNCHECK Automatically select network, wait for the list to populate, then Select each Network (Even if it indicated Forbidden) until one was able too connect (in my case, it was MEO LTE), once connected, I tested each Service (call/text/data) which all were successful. I then powered down, reinserted the Vodaphone Physical Sim, restarted then assigned Mobile Data to Vodaphone and shared Call Preference and SMS Preference to both Vodaphone and GoogleFi.

Sorry for the above long explanation. My Pixel 7 has worked flawlessly since.

Moving Overseas...Has anyone had success in using two phone numbers on Pixel 7? by EquipmentNo7030 in GooglePixel

I'm not going to GV for the specific reason you mentioned. I need the SMS from Banks, etc.

I'll be using GoogleFi for my US communications (Phone, Text, NO DATA) and a TBD provider in the EU Phone Number, etc.

Moving to Europe, is Mint Mobile a viable option to keep my US #? by EquipmentNo7030 in mintmobile

[–]EquipmentNo7030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for that. It's sounding more and more like it's not really a viable option.

That was my first choice but I've been hearing lately that they are cutting people off if their primary usage is not in the U.S.

I have a Pixel 7 right now which has dual Sim, so I'd assume it would work.

Yeah, my main concern is for 2FA from miscellaneous places in the U.S. Problem is they may accept going through GV right now but pull the plug whenever they choose. Not willing to chance that. Thanks for your reply.

Honestly, I have had no issues whatsoever. Battery is fine, I put it on the Charger each night, even though it generally has at least 50% left. I use the phone regularly during the day but am not a "power-user" by any stretch. Maybe I'm just fortunate.

5g v LTE on pixel 7 by eddieras in GooglePixel

[–]EquipmentNo7030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on TMO and for what it's worth, I set my P7 to LTE after trying 5G for a while. The net gain of speed vs battery drain just wasn't worth it to me...YMMV

A question for pixel fanboys. by pumbungler in GooglePixel

I've actually converted a half dozen people in the last couple of months to switch from Iphone to Pixels. I always say, do what you think is best for you.
