That too: that's what we had for a couple of years, but with Project Fi 
we've paid less than $30 per month so far.

I was thinking of the TMo $40/mo. plan with unlimited calling and 
texting and 3GB of LTE data.

MetroPCS has a $35/mo. plan with 1GB LTE data. That uses TMo's network.

The Fi-compatible phones we have (Nexus 5X, discounted with the Project 
Fi signup) are fine. The Nexus 6P is fancier, and almost certainly the 
new generation of Google phones to be released within the next month or 
so will support Project Fi. (In fact I think I recall reading that 
people have bought Nexus 5X or 6P phones and got the Project Fi SIM 
card, then returned the phones and installed the activated SIM cards in 
other phones. They don't get the auto-switching between TMo, Sprint, and 
Republic, but the low cost of the plan seems to satisfy them. Maybe that 
would work for people who insist on making Apple richer.)
