    when traveling Communist countries in Asia with google fi it was really nice to have

    but then they revoked my data service while charging me the same amount every month, because they said I’m traveling too much.

      How long did it take for them to turn it off?

          Seems entirely reasonable to me, depending on the country it costs them extra to route your calls overseas to another network.

              I wish they would at least give me a discount for the service without the data.

      A better solution might be to not travel to communist countries.
