> Can anyone shed light on how this can happen without someone having your phone?

I do not know specific details of this particular incident but I would like to emphasize the fact that Google Fi, at least in the US, is a virtual network on top of the T-mobile's physical one. There is some extra level of security via obscurity that makes simple social engineering attacks harder but fundamentally it is still T-mobile underneath.
