Cell Phone

Google has had a cell phone company for about two and a half years.  It is fairly inexpensive and offers a nice web interface to track usage.  I have had their service for about 14 months.  I previously had Verizon for many years and was happy with their service, but the bills were a little too high for my liking.  Project Fi is limited in their phone choices, but I am not too picky.  I had only two phones to pick from at the time I switched.  I am happy with the features of the Nexus 5x that I have been using.  The Project Fi service, however, is another matter.  For the past four months, I have rarely been able to place or receive a call on most occasions.  I am beginning to wonder what I am paying for.  I contacted Project Fi via email, and they were very quick to respond.  They sent me some obvious suggestions like restarting and updating my phone.  They also gave instructions on forcing a switching of providers.  Project Fi uses T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular networks.  I have implemented their suggestions without any improvements.  Project Fi looked like a great idea, but I believe my little cell phone experiment is soon to be over.  I will be switching back to Verizon.
