Hi Craig! I've not been keeping up - have you moved yet? Hope you stay warm and dry this week! https://fi.google.com/compatibility shows the compatibility of phones made by Apple, Google, htc, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Other. I've been on Fi for a long time. It is not the cheapest, and occasionally calls take a few seconds longer than I expect to connect, but I keep it for primarily two reasons. - When there is no T-Mobile signal it roams to Sprint, and vice versa. Other MVNOs are one or the other. - One account can share data with (now 4) data devices, which work on T-Mobile only. I have the kids set up this way, they take a couple of my phones when they want to stay connected. It also let me stick data SIMs into my laptop, wife's tablet, LTE hotspot, etc. without having to worry about an extra monthly fee - I just pay for data if I use it. The data SIM works on any unlocked phone or device, or at least I haven't run into anything that had an issue. Fi also has native tethering, free international data (I've used it in the Caribbean and India), bill tops out at $70 for up to 22 gigs before there is a bandwidth limit - though we've only once exceeded 5 gigs so I can't really say what happens after 22. Usually my bill is between $40 and $60 for service and data, before the children started frequently carrying phones it was closer to $30. When I signed up you had to activate on a supported phone but you could move the SIM around once it was active. For new phones I like the Moto X4 (son is mostly using that now), and the newer Moto G model works with Fi and is cheaper at retail. The new Pixel is coming out soon so you could probably get fire sale pricing on the Pixel 3. If you don't mind getting an old working phone and replacing a battery I really like my original Pixel, and the Nexus 6 was great too.
