I’ve heard that they ask for a Gmail account to sign up for the phone service.

I know that it’s a T-Mobile mvno.

My question: Does everything people do on the internet using Google Fi mobile data get logged by Google?

    I’d argue it’s different in the case of Pixel phones. In that case they’re controlling nearly 100% of the phone experience which probably allows them to maximize data collection

      Again, it’s not that different from using a Pixel phone on any other carrier. The only difference is the first point of contact for some of your personal information.

      By the time it’s sold or traded between companies, it doesn’t matter what the first point of contact was.
