Hi Rich, You might also check out Republic Wireless: https://republicwireless.com/
They don't have as good of reception in some back country areas as my old Verizon service, but for us it's been 'good enough' since their prices are so much better. They claim to have many hotspots all over the country that will let you use the WiFi for free, and I've seen some pop up, but I really don't go too many popular places, so I don't have a high expectation in that regard. My favorite is that when I'm logged in with WiFi, so especially at home, it uses it for both calls and text. It constantly tests the connection quality, and will switch as needed. I don't know how it compares to Google Fi, but sounds like a very similar service. It's priced right, and even better, for us, is that they have a discount for teachers, so we don't even pay the advertised price, which was good enough to hook us in the first place! :) Anyway, you might want to check them out. They do offer 'bring your own' for devices, but there are some limitations. I don't know if the phone you've ordered meets them or not.
