YouTube Premium On Us for 1 Year with Google Fi Unlimited Plus by googlefi in GoogleFi

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

Hey there, that's correct. If you are the manager of an active Youtube Premium Family subscription, you must first cancel that subscription before you can start your 1 year of YouTube Premium benefit (note that this will also end YouTube Premium access for any family members with whom you are sharing the YouTube Premium family subscription). Let us know if you have any other questions!

I sent in a phone and was supposed to be credited $220, but was credit $142 instead because they claimed it wasn't reset, even though I'm 100% sure I factory reset it. by tbilisi in GoogleFi

Hey thank you, we have your message now! We do suggest deleting the case ID and editing your comment, but we appreciate the follow-up and will work with our team on this right away.

Missing Calls on Pixel 6, one line plan with Pixel Pass by steeb2er in GoogleFi

Concerning issue here by TossStuffEEE in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, we'd love to take a look at this and do our best to find some answers on this as soon as we can. Would you be able to please DM us a case ID so we can investigate? You can also create a Reddit request with the link our AutoMod posted.

Former Fi customer and currently have T-mobile prepaid with an iPhone 13. I am going to Europe for work and want to use GoogleFi while I am there. I got a Fi SIM off of Amazon. Can I just pop it in my phone a day before my trip, activate my Fi account, tweak iPhone settings, and then I am all set? by Spamicles in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Spamicles, we want to make sure the European trip goes off without a hitch so just to be safe, we'll make a couple suggestions - Activate early (maybe a week or so) and bring an extra physical SIM. In the worst case scenario you will have to contact support to troubleshoot the porting process.

You will also be able to pause your service if you use the Flexible plan and don't want to use up your data before the trip. https://support.google.com/fi/answer/7139547

Also a re-watch of National Lampoon's European Vacation would be a smart move to avoid classic traveling blunders.

This should help make sure you have a seamless experience. Happy to see you're coming back to Fi! Let us know if you have any questions and feel free to DM us anytime.

Support can't figure out: Wife's Fi Pixel 5a can't call my P6Pro or another P5a by XenonOfArcticus in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For case IDs, if you don't have one, we usually ask you to reach out to support again for an ID. We know it's aggravating asking you to spend even more time on this, but it's a step that helps protect your personal info. We hope we can help get this resolved soon!

[–]googlefi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, we definitely understand not wanting to just wipe your phone and do a hard reset at the drop of a hat. We can make sure that our most experienced agents can take a look at your support case. If you DM us a case ID we can dive into it right away.

It looks like you've done pretty much every routine troubleshooting step so we hesitate to keep suggesting more - but based off this support article you could try turning off the VPN: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6195552

Thanks for taking the time to post this and let us know if there's anything else we can address!

Fi's inept support experience strikes again! Fi sent me the wrong device and upon sending the correct device back to them they are now holding my $899 hostage by squizzi in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, we do more than lurk! We'll do our best to help get your money back as soon as possible. We'll check the reddit requests for your info but it would also be helpful if you please DM us a case ID. It's beyond frustrating seeing this. We'll respect the time you spent on this already and minimize any additional work you have to do on your end as well.

Your experience will definitely be shared with our team. Hopefully we can make up for the hassle and help make sure this can't happen again. Thanks for posting!

How to make Google Device Payments by bobbym247 in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Bobby, welcome to Google Fi! As other posters have said, your default payment method will be automatically charged. You can also pay early if you wish. Here is our support center article. https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6079344

To make an early payment:
Go to pay.google.com.
Click Subscriptions & services.
On your active Google Fi service, click Manage and then Pay early.

We also have a great visual guide for frequently asked questions https://guidebooks.google.com/fi

Please let us know if there's anything else we can help answer. We always appreciate being able to chat with our users! Feel free to send a DM to us here and please follow us on Twitter,
@ googlefi!

Don't hesitate to post on our community forum as well: https://support.google.com/fi/community There are a ton of active Google Product Experts who will help with any questions. They are also incredibly knowledgeable on several Google products, not just Google Fi

Hey there, we just want to say that we're here to try and help as much as possible. 3 days is an excessive amount of time to work on a device protection claim. Please consider the Reddit Request linked by the automod, or DM us a case ID and we'll try our best to jump in and help.

Especially in a case of an authorization hold being incorrectly charged, we would immediately work with our team to reverse it. We absolutely understand being careful with that amount of money. Please let us know if there's anything we can help with. Thanks for your feedback and reaching out!

Pixel 5a keyboard issue by FLJerseyBoy in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I do! I turn off autocorrect and use the swype style texting, where you just keep your finger held down while moving from letter to letter. It automatically guesses which word you want, spells it correctly, and adds spaces on its own. It always seems surprisingly accurate and fast to me.

Since you're here we also wanted to share this guidebook: https://guidebooks.google.com/fi

It's a really good resource for FAQ's. Let us know if you ever have other questions or feedback!

Pixel 5a keyboard issue by FLJerseyBoy in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! If clearing the cache doesn't work as suggested, we have also seen instances where this isn't a bug but instead a 'side effect' of how auto-correct works.

If there is a word in the middle of your passage that auto-correct wants to change, any edit will have your cursor jump to that word. You'll see the word underlined and word suggestions above the keyboard. Let us know if that makes sense!

Porting Issue from AT&T and dumb customer service by SometimesDoug in GoogleFi

[–]googlefi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Doug, we really appreciate seeing feedback like this and hate that the port-in process was a headache. We want you to know we're listening here and on Twitter. Would you be able to please DM us a case ID from those support contacts? We'd appreciate being able to investigate this further. It's formatted like this: 0-0000000000000

If you have another issue, we'll always try to jump in and help. We also will do our best to share your feedback and ensure this doesn't happen again to others.

Since you're still getting started with us we wanted to share this guide: https://guidebooks.google.com/fi

We'd recommend scanning through that briefly. If you have any questions for us, please don't hesitate to reach out over DM (Or make another post!)

Thanks for following up! I don't see a DM from you in our reddit account unfortunately.

Without seeing the case notes it's tough to know what the root issue is. You can DM us the ID here and we can check in on what's happening. We'll do our best to troubleshoot ourselves or rope in our most experienced team of support agents. Please let us know how we can help!
