Project Fi rides T-Mobile international roaming agreements. You have to use Nexus phones.
Wolfbin -
one correction, most countries the data speed is pegged at 110-112Kbps. in Canada and Mexico you get fast 4G or LTE speeds.
The 110Kbps speeds work perfectly for Google maps for a week in Romania and another week of driving in Croatia. Facebook and email works as well as when in the US. Audio streaming works well most of the time. We don't do video even when home.
Prepaid users in the US are considered second-class citizens. No regular carrier incident all the features of regular user receives.
T-Mobile has been the fastest growing carrier the past two or three years since all these changes took place. It sure makes it convenient to be able to use your phone as quickly and easily when you land in Zürich or Hong Kong as it does when you landed Los Angeles.
The only difference when overseas is that you can't tether your phone to your laptop.
US users on all carriers have another advantage. We can program our phone to automatically route international calls via Google voice. We can call most overseas land lines for two cents/min.
Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
