Anyone on Google Fi’s “75% off for 12 months” plan?

If you ordered a Pixel Watch 5 during the $529.99 back over 24 months promotion, did you actually receive the full $529.99 promotional credits?

Just trying to see if anyone on the 75% off plan successfully got the Pixel Watch promo.

First time roaming with Google Fi (In London, GB)

I switched to Google Fi back in August and this is my first time using it outside of the US. I can definitely say the experience of getting it working was much more seamless than any other MVNO I have used and everything was just automatic.

Of course none of this fixes the sorry state of the UK mobile phone networks. Just like it has been with US Mobile and T-Mobile before it, the networks here are pretty terrible. I frequently have disconnects and unlike with other carriers I can't change networks manually as it seems Google Fi does that itself. Most of the time it handled it quickly enough but others I was left waiting a few minutes for my phone to re-establish a working connection. I have a Roamless eSIM that is locked to Vodafone which appears to work better but I'm guessing this isn't one of Google Fis roaming partners here.

I know this isn't Fi's fault but it's still a shame that the UK, especially in London has such shoddy network conditions. I'm suggestions from others I'm going to try setting my phone to LTE only in the hopes it improves things. I will be in Germany in three weeks and will see how things work there as I feel like that will be the real test.

Google Fi Support Escalation Request - Google One Benefit / Family Group Conflict

I opened a support case regarding my Google Fi Google One benefit. Support instructed me to leave/delete my family group, but I am the Family Manager sharing storage and YouTube Premium with family members who are over their 15 GB limits. I would need to delete the group for 72 hours in order for the account status to clear and for the Google One benefit to be applied to my Google Fi account. Deleting the group will cause severe disruptions for my family. Is there any way the social support team can help process or override this backend conflict?
