You can suspend, or pause, your Google Fi service for a short period of time. You can easily resume your service at any time. If you haven't resumed service after three months, it will automatically turn back on. Repeatedly pausing Google Fi is a violation of our Terms of Service.
Learn how to pause your Google Fi service with a step-by-step guide.
When your account is paused:
- You'll keep your number.
- You won't have access to domestic talk & text, data or international services.
- You won't be able to use your data for mobile hotspots or tethering.
- Your data-only SIMs will also be paused.
- You'll still be charged for device protection and financing.
In the Flexible plan, depending on when you paused your service, you won't be charged or you'll get partial credit for the days when your service was paused.
In the Unlimited Essentials, Unlimited Premium, and Unlimited Standard plans, you can choose to pause at any time, but you'll be charged through the end of your billing cycle. When you unpause, you'll be charged for the remaining days in the cycle, regardless of whether you re-pause before that cycle ends.
When you temporarily pause your Google Fi Unlimited service, your Google One benefits will continue to be active.
If you need to cancel your service, go to Cancel your Google Fi service.
