Google Fi's Unlimited Plans Are Getting Cheaper

Google says the monthly per-line cost has been reduced by $5 across the board, meaning that customers with four or more lines will pay $40 instead of $45. Other customers will pay $45, $55, or $65 per month for three, two, or one line on the plan, which is $15 to $20 more than people on the Simply Unlimited Plan.
