I used Fi for six years living overseas. I needed a phone with a US number for customers and my family to call. Very handy to have phone and internet service when you step off the plane or train. However Fi is not economical compared to most local carriers. The majority-US usage rules have been around for a while. I never had Google cancel me or do anything. If I stayed anywhere for more than a few days — as expats and digital nomads usually do — I bought a local SIM card. That’s going to cost less than Fi in most places. Usually I could get a SIM with a decent package at the airport. A dual-SIM phone helps.

You can easily find web sites describing cell carriers with coverage maps and costs, for any country. And you can find web sites that tell which carriers work with your phone.

I had a Fi family plan with my son sharing with me, and he was always in the US. That may have tilted my account to majority US usage. I don’t know if Google looks at per-account or per-number usage.
