Project Fi现在是“ Google Fi”,适用于大多数手机,包括iPhone
It’s been a long time coming, but Google is upgrading its Project Fi cellular service with a new name, more features, and compatibility with a lot more phones. Even the iPhone is along for the ride now.
这已经很长时间了,但是Google正在使用新名称,更多功能以及与更多手机的兼容性来升级其Project Fi蜂窝服务。 甚至iPhone也可以骑行了。
The first big change here is the name—no longer considered a project, that part of the name has been dropped and replaced with “Google,” so the service will be called Google Fi moving forward. Makes sense.
这里的第一个大变化是名称-不再被视为项目,名称的一部分已被删除并替换为“ Google”,因此该服务将被称为Google Fi。 说得通。
The biggest change, however, is phone compatibility. Since its inception, Fi has only been compatible with specific phones, all of which ran Android. The number of compatible phones has grown over the years but always remained very small in comparison to the number of available phones on the market. That changes today, with Fi now open to “the majority” of phones—including iPhone.
但是,最大的变化是电话兼容性。 自成立以来,Fi仅与特定的手机兼容,所有这些手机均运行Android。 多年来,兼容电话的数量有所增长,但与市场上可用电话的数量相比,始终保持很少。 如今,情况发生了变化,现在Fi已向包括iPhone在内的大多数手机开放。
If you’re familiar with Fi, you know that it uses multiple networks and Wi-Fi as part of its plan. That raises some questions about how exactly it will work on Apple devices because they simply don’t offer the same flexibility that Android devices do when it comes to network hopping and always-on v*n. Unfortunately, right now it’s not entirely clear how this will work with the iPhone—but the service is still in beta and there are some drawbacks. Google did a good job of highlighting these potential issues on its Fi compatibility page:
如果您熟悉Fi,就会知道它使用多个网络和Wi-Fi作为其计划的一部分。 这就引起了一些问题,关于它在Apple设备上将如何正常工作,因为在网络跳频和永远在线v*n方面,它们根本无法提供与Android设备相同的灵活性。 不幸的是,目前尚不清楚它如何与iPhone配合使用-但该服务仍处于测试阶段,并且存在一些缺点。 Google出色地在其Fi兼容性页面上突出了这些潜在问题:
That said, Google mentions in the announcement post that “a few extra steps” are required to get set up on with Fi on an iPhone, but there’s a companion app to help with that. To get the full Fi experience, you’ll still need a Fi-specific phone (which can be purchased directly through Fi). Without having used the service on a non-Fi phone to confirm, that suggests Fi won’t be all that different from other MVNO providers like Cricket Wireless or Metro.
就是说,Google在公告中提到,在iPhone上使用Fi进行设置需要“一些额外的步骤”,但是有一个配套的应用程序可以帮助实现这一点。 要获得完整的Fi体验,您仍然需要特定于Fi的电话(可以直接通过Fi购买)。 如果不使用非Fi电话上的服务进行确认,则表明Fi与Cricket Wireless或Metro等其他MVNO提供商没有什么不同。
Finally, Google is giving away some goodies to anyone who buys a phone from Fi (with service). You can get back all the money you spend on a new phone—dollar for dollar—in travel vouchers, which you can use for flights, Airbnb locations, or hotels. If you don’t buy a new phone and buy a Fi plan for your current handset, you’ll get $200 of Fi service credit if you sign up today. That’s pretty solid.
最后,Google会向从Fi(带服务)购买电话的任何人赠送一些礼物。 您可以取回在手机上花费的新钱(美元兑换美元)的旅行代金券,可用于航班,Airbnb地点或酒店。 如果您不购买新手机,也不为当前手机购买Fi计划,则立即注册即可获得200美元的Fi服务信用。 很好。
