If your billing statement shows a total amount that’s higher than you expected, it’s generally due to the following reasons:
Your first bill may be higher after you switch
When you switch from the Flexible plan to the Simply Unlimited or Unlimited Plus plan, your first bill may be higher than you're used to.
Your bill includes:
- Prepaying owner and members’ unlimited plan monthly charge for the next bill cycle.
- Postpaying owner and members’ data use from the Flexible plan, at $10 per GB from the previous bill cycle per month.
- Postpaying any extra services you used in the previous bill cycle. Possible extra services include international calls, return to full speed data, and prorated costs for new members.
For example:
You just switched from the Flexible plan to an individual Simply Unlimited plan. In your last month, you used $20 of data on your Flexible plan. Your next bill includes:
- $20 for data on your Flexible plan that you postpay.
- $50 for your Simply Unlimited plan, which you prepay.
Added new group members
When you add a member to your group plan, your monthly bill is prorated to reflect this change.
For example: If you add a member to your Flexible plan on June 15th and your billing cycle ends on June 20th, your bill will be prorated to reflect the 5 days that the new member was on your plan during that billing cycle.
If you made international calls from the US (free with the Unlimited Plus plan to over 50 countries or regions) or used your phone outside the US, you can find your upcoming charges. These charges appear in your next billing statement.
Here's how to find your upcoming charges:
- Open the Google Fi app
or the Google Fi website.
- In the "Home" tab, select Overview
Extras this cycle so far.
International charges could take up to 60 days to appear, so the details you find may not be up to date.
Find service credits or prorated charges
To find out if you have any service credits or prorated charges, follow the steps above. You find service credits or prorated charges under "Extras this cycle so far."
In all plans, free calls between the US, Canada and Mexico are included.
In the Unlimited Plus plan, calls to over 50 countries and territories are covered. Calls to other destinations are charged separately per minute. Check rates for other covered destinations.
In your billing statement, you can find your international long distance charges under “Additional Charges & Credits.” Learn how to call and text other countries from the US.
Your Google Fi bill will include both your Google Fi plan and Pixel Pass subscription. Your bill will break down your different charges between Google Fi and Pixel Pass.
