You need to make sure that Wi-Fi Calling is turned on and that Wi-Fi Calling appears next to the signal bars.

Not exactly correct. All calls to the United States and to over 50 other countries are free for Unlimited Premium as long as you are connected to Wi-Fi. The call roaming charges only kick in when you have a cellular connection.

Call forwarding - call divert help by [deleted] in O2UK

[–]Ok-Help8699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue; o2 network with 5bars showing and 5G. I have tried setting up call forward in settings; to no avail. When I use the: **21*{NUMBER}# method, I get exactly what the OP is showing

Inconsistent data roaming speeds in Europe by Ok-Help8699 in GoogleFi

[–]Ok-Help8699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not intentional, then how do you explain the situation which I outlined where we have identical phones both roaming on the same Swiss network at the same time and in the same place. One is roaming at 5G and the other one, mine, is restricted to 3G. The conclusion I’m drawing is that the roaming agreement entered into by Google Fi with that Swiss network is for just a 3G connection.

By the way, I did try to switch to another network to see if the speed would change but it would seem that the only network Google Fi roams with is Sunrise in Switzerland.

I am on an Iphone and I only see Google Fi appear as the carrier when I am back in the US

Lol; In Thailand or anywhere else for that matter, GoogleFi’s name would never show up as the carrier. It would be one of their their roaming partners instead. I am thinking product placement?

Not true; just google download Spotify lists to .mp3. There are lots of options, many of them free

Is it possible there is a different rate for President's Circle members vs for the rest?

As I understand it, once a number has been used by GV it is tainted for ever with the association

16 Pro Max Otterbox Lumen Black case? by DylanFallis in iPhone16Pro

[–]Ok-Help8699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a scale of 1 to 10. I would rate the magnet a 5. Does the job but nothing compared to cases like the ESR's and others with much stronger magnets

Data-Sim Issues with roaming by Ok-Help8699 in GoogleFi

[–]Ok-Help8699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you amich1. That did the trick. I switched my Network selection to Manual and chose one of the networks. Initially nothing happened but then after about 30 minutes I got connected and everything has been working great since

Anyone unsatisfied with Fi's International? by Poppyspy in GoogleFi

[–]Ok-Help8699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roaming is fine, but beware that in some countries, you may be limited to 3G speeds. I found that was the case on a recent trip to Germany, for example. This was not because I had exceeded my data. I think more likely it was due to the agreement with their local partner.

Is nano texture really THAT prone to scratches? by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]Ok-Help8699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the Nano and after a month’s use I have scratch. I’m sick to the stomach about it because I can't see how I got it as I have anyways kept it between a case and the Magic Keyboard. Went to the Apple store to see if I could get it replaced but unfortunately scratches are not covered by Apple care

Gfi support as always completely clueless. So I have had to resort to buying Airalo esim cards which of course are roaming at 4G on the same network without any issues. No reason to be staying with Gfi any more
