I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Google Fi? Yes, I have it, though I have a Nexus.

Thoughts? The one person I know who has it loves it, but I feel like I need a bigger sample size.

I think, as is, it's probably best for single users, rather than people who'd benefit from a family plan. I pay $30/month for unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data. If you go over your allotment, they pro-rate the charge. If you don't use the full allotment, they credit it toward your bill.

I have had times when my phone just doesn't ring and I miss a call, but that's been true of other services I've had. I had to call customer support a couple of times when I was getting it set up, and they were immediately available and very helpful.

It's pretty much perfect for me.

Sounds good. My family doesn't use mobile devices so it is really just me.

I was skeptical but I do really like my paperweight. I was worried I'd miss the actual page turn button but I don't.
