The latest Google Fi Wireless updates will make your next trip abroad easier — just in time for summer travel. Here are six new things we’re packing for your next vacation, all included in our Unlimited Premium plan at no extra cost.

1. Our most seamless connectivity yet

Google Fi on Pixel phones automatically shifts between multiple international networks in real time using our upgraded dual cellular switching technology, finding and connecting you to a stronger available signal faster than ever before. ¹ ² Whether you’re exploring off the beaten path or navigating a new city, trust your connection will keep up with you.

2. An even bigger 5G map

To help you travel farther, we’ve brought our 5G speed to 22 new locations — including Morocco and Colombia — giving you a faster connection in 110+ countries. ³ Travelling with a group? With our data-only eSIMs, you can share your plan’s coverage with up to five other cellular-enabled devices, like your smartwatch and your child’s tablet, at no extra cost. ⁴ ⁵

3. Expanded VPN availability

Google Fi’s built-in VPN by Google helps keep your online data private and secure, now in even more top travel destinations, including South Korea and Japan. ⁶ This expanded coverage lets you stream, browse and download on an automatically encrypted, private connection, protecting you against hackers and unsecure Wi-Fi networks. When you travel, your connection stays safer with Google.

4. W+ in more places

Enjoy Wi-Fi Auto-Connect+ — our way to automatically connect you to premium Wi-Fi that’s twice as reliable as our cellular network alone in indoor crowds — in even more places. ⁷ We’ve begun rolling out W+ across Europe and Asia in select locations, so you can stream HD videos or scroll through social media uninterrupted during your next layover at no extra cost. ⁵ ⁸ W+ secures your connection with automatic encryption, keeping your online activity private. ⁹

5. Seamless setup and support

Switch to Fi before your trip and your coverage will be ready before you leave. When you set up Google Fi on your Android phone for the first time, the Fi app proactively verifies that your phone service is working correctly, so you’ll know your SIM and messaging will be ready to go when you land. ¹⁰ On the off chance you lose network connection while you’re traveling, the Google Fi app automatically detects and fixes technical issues. You’ll get guided next steps if a manual adjustment is needed, so you can spend more time exploring and less time troubleshooting.
