   That too: that's what we had for a couple of years, but with Project Fi   
   we've paid less than $30 per month so far.   
      
   I was thinking of the TMo $40/mo. plan with unlimited calling and   
   texting and 3GB of LTE data.   
      
   MetroPCS has a $35/mo. plan with 1GB LTE data. That uses TMo's network.

   The Fi-compatible phones we have (Nexus 5X, discounted with the Project   
   Fi signup) are fine. The Nexus 6P is fancier, and almost certainly the   
   new generation of Google phones to be released within the next month or   
   so will support Project Fi. (In fact I think I recall reading that   
   people have bought Nexus 5X or 6P phones and got the Project Fi SIM   
   card, then returned the phones and installed the activated SIM cards in   
   other phones. They don't get the auto-switching between TMo, Sprint, and   
   Republic, but the low cost of the plan seems to satisfy them. Maybe that   
   would work for people who insist on making Apple richer.)
