Tip: If you're using a corporate Google Fi account, "Only allow calls and texts from phone contacts" isn't available.

• You can get an alert when you use a specific amount of data. If you're a group plan owner, you can also get alerts for each member in your group.
• You can also decide how much data can be used before data is slowed down. When you reach a slow data limit, data speeds reduce to 256 kbps.

Tip: You’re still charged for data used at this slower speed. We notify plan owners and plan members when they're close to slower data. Learn more about data speed limits.
