Google Fi Wireless recently announced that it was bringing several connectivity upgrades to its Unlimited Premium plan, which brings enhanced network switching, expanded 5G coverage, and new security for subscribers.
For network reliability, Google says that it’s upgraded its dual cellular switching technology on Pixel phones, and the service can now automatically transition between multiple international networks in real time, locking onto the strongest available signal.
Google has also expanded its high-speed 5G footprint to 22 new locations, including Colombia and Morocco, which finally brings 5G access to more than 110 countries. Subscribers looking to connect multiple devices can use data-only eSIMs to share their coverage with up to five additional devices, such as smartwatches and tablets for free.
Additionally, Google Fi’s built-in encrypted VPN is now available in more international destinations, including Japan and South Korea to protect users on unsecure public Wi-Fi networks. Additionally, the company is rolling out its Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+ (W+) feature across select locations in Europe and Asia. The W+ network automatically connects devices to encrypted, premium indoor Wi-Fi that performs up to twice as reliably as cellular data alone.
The Google Fi app has also been updated with new setup and troubleshooting tools—it can verify when SIM and messaging services are functioning properly before departure, and can even diagnose technical issues and provides step-by-step guidance for manual adjustments when a user is abroad.
Finally, Google also launched a limited-time promotion for new subscribers—customers who sign up for the Unlimited Premium plan before June 30, 2026, will receive a 50% discount on their service for the first 12 months.
