Is anyone on Project Fi yet?

[reb0957]

So have invites been sent out and is anyone using it yet? I am particularly interested in the I-10 corridor from Houston to New Orleans and the majority of my time is South of I-10

Looking forward to it.

I read somewhere this morning that the first invites will be to newly purchased Nexus 6, which supposedly will have sims included in the box?

Found it. In the comments. Google's Project Fi App Arrives In The Play Store To Free Your Phone (As Long As It's A Nexus 6)

The Google Project Fi help center page is up

It talks about how it eliminates Google Voice once you subscribe. Good thing is you are able to move your google voice number to another email address if you want to keep it and not bring it to Project Fi or loose it.

This may be a dumb question, but I currently have service with Sprint and Verizon. Verizon is currently suspended, but I'll still be keeping it, since I have Unlimited Data.

Google Voice is nice because it allows me to use the same number on Sprint and Verizon.

I've read the Google FAQ. Is it accurate that if I switch to FI, I won't be able to use my Google Voice number with my FI service and my Verizon service? Is there any way around this?

Don't expect Project Fi to start until after Google I/O meeting in late May.

Where did you get this information?

I do find it odd that it's been +12 hours and only one user is reporting they received an invitation.

Agreed

I received an invite yesterday, phone ships today, should arrive by Friday.

 

[Crashdamage]

You received an invitation, not just applied for one, correct?

[DickManwich]

Correct.

I wonder how they decide who will be picked? I live in a large metro area so I thought I'd have a good chance. Haven't heard anything yet.

I was added to a friends and family list through a Google employee. I'm guessing those people get a somewhat higher priority. My phone was supposed to show up at work today, but FedEx never showed :'(

I have my phone. Now i'm just waiting for my current provider to complete the porting process.

Awesome. Definitely let us know how it's working out.

The port took a bit, but it's working great now.
