Site says you can switch as often as you want. Anyone have experience doing that? Easy? I’m a little worried about coverage with TMobile and Sprint networks, but for half the price seems worth a try. And then the added major bonus of seamless international usage.

If I did switch the rest of us to Google Fi, could I absorb his account into mine? If so, how? I’d rather be the account holder than him. Or could I add us to his account and then transfer account holder?
One thing about Fi is that it is still not quite 100% working with iPhones. When I had Fi, I didn't switch anyone else on my plan to Fi because they all got iPhones. Here is what Fi page said about iPhone:
"Your Apple device can't make calls or text over Wi-Fi. When you travel outside of the US, tethering and Wi-Fi hotspot options aren't available from your Apple device."
