The technology maker’s Project Fi plan only charges users for the data they use instead of paying a flat fee for a limited amount.
In addition to promising to reduce mobile prices, Google will also store all data on a cloud, allowing users to make calls and send texts over laptops or tablets, even without their phones nearby.
“For $20 a month you get all the basics (talk, text, Wi-Fi tethering, and international coverage in 120+ countries), and then it's a flat $10 per GB for cellular data while in the U.S. and abroad,” Google wrote.
“1GB is $10/month, 2GB is $20/month, 3GB is $30/month, and so on. Since it's hard to predict your data usage, you'll get credit for the full value of your unused data.
Let's say you go with 3GB for $30 and only use 1.4GB one month. You'll get $16 back, so you only pay for what you use.”
As Project Fi is still in its experimental phase, it is only available to Nexus 6 users.
