I deleted the "version 2" account from the Project Fi app and it did not help in my case. I still get the message that my "account currently isn't authorized for service." I did not try updating to Android 6.0 as mentioned above; I just followed previously-mentioned, detailed steps on clearing cache, removing app, etc.

I imagine that there actually *is* some problem with my account, but I can't get to the credit card screen in the Project Fi app (in account access only mode, with the SIM removed) or on the website at fi.google.com/account#account. In the Project Fi app, when I try to "Manage Card," I get a note that says "Something went wrong." On the website, there is not "Payment Method" option on the Account tab. :(
[Nexus 6  General] jestep:
My mastercard shows up as a payment method, but if I try to manage it it gives me the something went wrong. I really find it hard to believe it takes this long to look at an account and say oh yea, there's the problem... :/

*EDIT*

And I am afraid to delete the V2 sim :(

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

And you know, my telling support over and over that it has to do with the sims makes even more sense. Too bad they refuse to listen and keep thinking it is the phone :/

And over 3 days has past and I just got this: "My specialist has contacted me and they are submitting the bug report now" 3 days!

Project Fi Waiting

1) Panama City, Fl

2)Sept. 10

3)Sept. 29

4)delivery date--Oct 23 leaves warehouse (my fault on the delivery date)
[Nexus 6  General] jestep:
So just a quick update. As of now I decided to try again and lo and behold it activated with no issues and number transfer is in progress..... Did they fix it? I have no idea.....

**EDIT**

So it looks like they removed my V2 sim from my account, so I hope that doesn't screw up my moving to the N6P with that :/
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
I too wondered the same thing. Not getting a new Nexus this year but definitely next year. I guess ordering a new sim would put it back.

I'm also getting the payment method error in the app. Shows the current credit card, but get the something went wrong error when clicking on manage payment.

After 3 weeks of looking at pending Oct.23rd- Oct 27th i finally got a shipment confirmation!
[Nexus 6  General] grandmasboy:
Requested a few weeks ago in MN, still waiting.
[Nexus 6  General] jestep:
Yea, my V2 shipped today and scheduled for delivery on, you guessed it.. The 23rd :/ Was hoping for sooner, but I can live with it

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Well since they (Google) apparently deleted the V2 I have coming this week, everything is working and I no longer have that issue at all.

Google is giving out INSTANT INVITES for Project Fi today only, Monday, Oct. 19, 2015. https://fi.google.com/about/
[Nexus 6  General] tb417:
that would explain how I got my invite so fast. signed up for an invite on Saturday and received it a few minutes ago
[Nexus 6  General] jestep:
Yea, signed my wife up this morning and got Instantly Invited screen. Was a bit shocked ;)
[Nexus 6  General] tb417:
does anyone know if these invites expire? I was actually expecting it to take much longer and was hoping to have a moto x pure alongside my Nexus 6 by the time I got the invite, since it supposedly works with FI as well
[Nexus 6  General] jestep:
If I were you just order the Sim, it is free and nothing happens until you actually activate. And as far as I know the Moto X Pure will not handle the carrier switching so it may not be as great as you hope.
[Nexus 6  General] tb417:
As long as it would read the sim and make calls. Want it just for the minutes. Right now I have the nexus and an old HTC one. Wouldn't want to use the HTC as my data phone
[Nexus 6  General] maxnicks:
My invites said they don't expire.
[Nexus 6  General] tb417:
I took jestep's advice and just ordered. It was completely free including shipping. I'll just keep it around unactivated until about a week before I order the pure
[Nexus 6  General] Wdustin1:
Mine should be here the 21st. I will let you guys know if it is just the sim or the welcome package. Since I got my order in on the 29th.

[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
Well, this is interesting.......my version 2 sim shipped today arriving Thursday. My version 1 is expected tomorrow. Now my version 2 status says " unknown number" in the app and "number will be assigned" on the Web. My ported number info is gone! I've changed nothing. I sure hope I'm given the option to port when I put the sim in. Going to use the V2. Anybody seen thus happen?
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
Here is what happened. Got the V1 today. I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a go. Well it was no go! I got the same error others have gotten. Well, no problem, I'll just delete the v2 in the app. (It's easy to tell them apart) We'll I couldn't delete the v2! Period, no option. Whatever happened when they shipped v2 must have "locked" it in. So I put my Cricket sim back in. Went back to Project Fi app and lo and behold V2 now knows my first name! Haha!

The v2 is expected to arrive tomorrow. Will let you know what happens in this ongoing saga!
[Nexus 6  General] blinkerpaper:
This is the exact situation I was in. It didn't give me the option to delete V2 (and V2 hadn't even shipped yet). I actually deleted V1 even though I had the V1 sim. But when I put the V1 SIM in, the activation proceeded as normal. It seems like it's just a problem of having two SIMs and it didn't matter which I deleted. You could give it a try if you want or maybe you just want to wait until tomorrow for V2.
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
Did you get the option to port? All of my port info and number have disappeared.
[Nexus 6  General] panda703:
Transferred from ATT today. It automatically ported over my number I set on the webpage. Cancelled my line and left the other 3 active in the old plan. Activated within 2 mins, pretty seem less. :)

Side notes this was with the new Sim. I also cleared my Fi cache and data. Powered off. Removed my old Sim. Powered on, then inserted the Fi Sim.
[Nexus 6  General] Wdustin1:
OK got my sims today. It activated right away but my number is still in the porting process. My wife's line however ported in under 2 mins. No welcome package though just the sims.
[Nexus 6  General] panda703:
Yeah I didn't get a welcome kit either. With my order date of 9/30 they told me its be 50/50 chance I may get a kit a bit later. The FI support guy did mention that those that don't get a kit will be compensated some other way though
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
Got my sim today. BTW for those who are having issues activating the SIM is tied to whatever email you used to sign up for. Otherwise to activate select the correct account and choose how you want to get a number either you can port your number or use your existing Google voice. I choose to transfer my Google voice to a different gmail and then you launch the fi app and to do all this.
[Nexus 6  General] starcms:
Got my version 2 sim...finally. The welcome kit better be close behind...I was assured by 4 reps I would receive it (not necessarily with the sim) since I ordered by 9/29.

Anyway, I had already activated with no issues with the version 1 sim I got last week, but I figured what the heck, might as well have the newest and best sim in my N6. My account showed the version 2 sim still with status Not Yet Active.

Powered down, swapped the sims, and powered up. Got an alert from Fi app I needed to activate. Opened sim app and in less than 10 seconds I was up and running on the new sim.

The one thing that surprised me is it still shows the version 2 sim/device as Not Yet Active. I had assumed it would now show it as active and the old one as inactive. Guess I'll finally go and delete it from my account.

So those of you who are OCD like me, you can upgrade to the V2 sim if your heart so desires. And since it doesn't show any difference on the Fi website or app, if I had deleted the V2 sim from my account before activating it, I'm 99% sure it would have activated anyway.

As for the V1 sim, it should be deactivated now, but I bet if I swapped sims again, it would reactivate the V1 and deactivate the V2 no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] starcms:
And I'm pissed. They changed their policy regarding welcome kits again!! If you ordered a Nexus 6 from Project Fi on Sept 29th or before, you get one, but with a sim only, the date is now Sept 10 ordered and activated to get a WC.

Complete bs. They'll give you a $20 credit if you were promised one by support, but they are selling for $80 on eBay and I really wanted that battery pack.
[Nexus 6  General] reaper000:
While sitting here waiting for my Fi SIM, I've been reading how the M radio fails to support Band 12 on TMo. But in order to activate (and use?) Fi while running M, people have posted that the M bootloader and M radio need to have been flashed... and Band 12 is lost.

Anyone know if the M Preview radios (MPA44G or MPA44Q) play nice with Fi while running M (PureNexus)?
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
I don't pretend to understand this, but this article may shed some light. Tmo is asking carriers to strip it off unlocked phones:

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

I got my V2 sim yesterday. Funny thing. I got a Marshmallow update just 1 hour before the FedEx truck showed up. Big day! So updated to M while waiting and also deleted the V1 sim in Project Fi app. Popped sim card in, booted, service activated, number ported from Cricket in seconds! I could text, make phone calls within a minute. The number one reason I wanted Project Fi was to have hassle free tethering! I know I could root the phone, but quite frankly I've grown tired of fiddling.
[Nexus 6  General] quailallstar:
My Nexus 6 on T-Mobile gets band 12 whenever I'm traveling through the Daytona Beach area. I'm located in Ormond Beach and no band 12 here unfortunately. Sooooo I received a V1 sim last week and then the newer V2 sim yesterday. Noticed Google changed the packaging to a larger envelope for the V2 (looks like the silhouette of a Nexus 6 - ironic I admit).

Currently waiting for my T-Mobile billing cycle to close out before activating fi, but going to make sure it's activated using fi 5.1.1 specific build LVY48H. Now which sim should I use to activate? V1 or V2? fi support really cant give a straight answer on the differences between V1 and V2.

For the record the N6 takes crappy low light photos.... :p
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
If it were me I would activate v2 since its the latest and may work with future versions.

Oh, and try low light pics using HDR+ instead of flash. You might like the results better!
[Nexus 6  General] zerosource:
Finally my sim is shipped. Ordered 10/14. Shipped 10/23. Expecting 10/29.

Such a long wait imo.
[Nexus 6  General] quailallstar:
I'll give that a try and see how it goes. Still going to activate on 5.1.1 build LVY48H then upgrading to 6.0 universal build. Thanks for the tip on better low light shots. Definitely going to try that mode out.
[Nexus 6  General] starcms:
If you don't upgrade to the 6.0 radios when upgrading to a 6.0 rom, Fi will not work.
[Nexus 6  General] Winesnob:
My v2 SIM just shipped today, and now see the 'unknown number' notice in the app.
[Nexus 6  General] Wdustin1:
Everywhere in my area sprint is bad. But for some reason it keeps defaulting to sprint and I have to force it to tmobile and it goes from no bars to full bars. Why would it choose no service? Only 3 days in....not sure if I will stay with it or not T-Mobile doesn't have the coverage I got with at&t
[Nexus 6  General] GrayBoltWolf:
I have the same issue. Sprint service is terrible where I am. I switch it to Tmo and I get great service, but it switches itself back after about 30 minutes.

Really annoying.
[Nexus 6  General] GadgetLady:
How do you force it to switch?
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
At least you guys have Sprint and T-Mobile coverage. Tmo only had one tower where I live and Sprint roams off Verizon. Before I moved up here I ordered the sim since I was in both the coverage areas, but now I think project fi would be useless.
[Nexus 6  General] Wdustin1:
There is a thread around that tells you all the codes but *#*#fitmo#*#* changes it to tmobile

[Nexus 6  General] NoNRG:
Here's a support topic outlining the adjusted rules for the welcome kits. I ordered a SIM on Sept 29th as well and did not receive one. Based on this thread it seems like they gave out a large number of invites on Sept 29th so they don't want to provide welcome kits to all of us.

[Nexus 6  General] junior.youngman:
This may have been mentioned. However if you want multiple Google fi Sims you DO NOT have to use different accounts. If you call Google fi support and say you lost your sim they will provide you with a link. This link you can order a sim. This link doesn't expire. Order as many Sims as you like (one at a time) when you go into your Google fi app they will show as individual lines.
[Nexus 6  General] reaper000:
Permit me to answer my own question, in hopes that someone else can profit:

I'm successfully running PureNexus (a custom Marshmallow ROM) with Project Fi, using the last preview radio (5.24) and Band 12 did show up!

[Nexus 6  General] sneezyH:
Wouldn't do me any good because Sprint is just terrible.
[Nexus 6  General] baiju2012:
Wouldn't do good to anybody. I was just mentioning the charge happening in the market, with the bigwigs due to Fi and T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6  General] TiltedAz:
True dat. I saw a couple news blurb of wireless providers laying off staff.
[Nexus 6  General] alex.o:
I have my N6 on the way and ordered my Project Fi sim on Friday. They will hopefully arrive around the same time. I requested an Invite in early October and received it about a week later.
[Nexus 6  General] SirM2X:
Funny! Signed up on October 30th for no reason whatsoever and I received my invite half an hour ago (November 9th).

I'm on a T-Mobile family plan with 9 other people. I pay $21/month (including taxes and fees) for unlimited talk and text + 2.5GB LTE data. Don't really see a reason to switch to Fi...
[Nexus 6  General] BennyJr:
Got my invite today, I think I requested it about 2 weeks ago
[Nexus 6  General] SirM2X:
Oh cool! You're in Orlando! Me too...

Maybe these days are the invite distribution days for the Orlando area.

Are you actually going to switch to Project Fi?
[Nexus 6  General] rochford77:
Just signed up, need to get off of sprint ASAP. How long are people waiting these days? the last post here was over a month ago....any one know if there is still a large backlog?
[Nexus 6  General] jmc2543:
Hopefully you have good T-Mobile coverage in your area. Fi runs off of a joint combination of Sprint, T-Mo, and WiFi. As far as the wait time goes it all depends on where you live. im in Cedar Rapids, IA and I am still waiting myself for an invite. They seem to be starting at larger cities, as I know Memphis, TN is able to sign up right away.
[Nexus 6  General] rochford77:
Sprints service is actually fine in my area. Here is the deal. I am a former spritn employee and my free employee plan expired today (quit in august). Im on a $60 a month plan SERO plan and want to get into fi as soon as possible. More of a price thing then a service thing :)
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
I left Verizon for Fi because T-Mobile is superb in my area. I haven't noticed any drop in data speeds.
[Nexus 6  General] mikespe:
I just signed up for Fi yesterday (Jan 18, 2016) and I got my invite today (next day). I live in Rochester, NY. I am not sire if I will sign up though. It seems kind of expensive compared to what I pay on Verizon. If I understand the pricing correctly it's $20/month for your calls & texts and then $10/gig of data. I currently have 10gb More Everything Plan and I am still paying off my Note 4 that I got on Edge. So I pay $126 and change for everything....If I go with Fi it will be $120 for calls, texts and 10gb of data....I already have a Nexus 6P but if I were to do the payments it would even cost more....what are the advantages to Fi considering what I already have?
[Nexus 6  General] RawCarnage:
signed up today got my invited an hour later. i live in central CT.
[Nexus 6  General] MiquelFire:
Wait, you have a 6P already? Why would you need to do the payments? Are you planning to get the 5X or another 6P?

As far as the price, are you really using 10 gigs a month? If your usage is like half of that, you'll be getting credits back for unused data after the first month.
[Nexus 6  General] mikespe:
I won't need the payments. I am just comparing what google is offering to what I have with Verizon edge. Google seems like the more expensive option to me unless my math is wrong?

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Sorry I missed that part of your reply. How much does Google refund you? $10 for every gig I don't use?

One other question....how long do I have to decide to use my invite to Fi? I want to test it out but don't want to give up my Verizon account until I know it's worth it for me...
[Nexus 6  General] MiquelFire:
They credit you a cent per MB of data you don't use, which amounts to $10 for every gig you don't use.

The invite I got, there doesn't appear to be a time limit, but if there is one, I'll probably hit it as I'm waiting for the pay off price on my current contract to get lower before I make the switch.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
I love Fi. My cheapest bill was $17.11 last month thanks to the data reimbursement.
[Nexus 6  General] g00s3y:
Signed up about a month and a half ago. Got an invite a couple months before that. Live in Cape Coral FL, service is good (I had TMo before this).

First bill with 5gb data was $74.44, only used 1.7xgb, changed bill to 3gb. Just got my bill for next month, $21 thanks to the credit. Will be about $40 most of the time with how much non wifi data I actually use.

It's a little annoying sometimes when it's trying to "find" a network. But other than that, I really don't have anything to complain about.
[Nexus 6  General] funkyboy1281:
Got my invite last year in August. Tested it for a month but paused it for 3 months. Ended up leaving Verizon and my first real bill was $54 for 3 GB and I ended up using 1.2 GB. So I changed my plan down to 1 GB and I paid $15.50 for this last month. I have no regrets leaving Verizon for the time being since most of my data usage was streaming. I just ended up creating a giant playlist with google play music and just continually add to it and keep it on random. That's how I've managed to keep my data down. Currently at .69 GB with 3 days left.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
Same here! I even paid Verizon a $230 etf just so I could get the hell out of their terrible contract.
[Nexus 6  General] funkyboy1281:
I was off contract for close to a year. I was paying $80 for 10GB of data after their month to month discount and my work discount. Verizon is excellent where I live but T-mobile and Sprint have really improved. So I mainly left to save some money.
[Nexus 6  General] meissen:
Does anyone have a compiled list of what ROMs are compatible with Project Fi / WiFi calling / Network switching / etc? I see Pure Nexus advertises Fi in the title, but not many other ROMs do.
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
Anyone else having problems on the n preview with losing connection when switching networks.

I get the connecting animation and can not get a connection without restarting the phone. Entering the codes in the dialer results in no message about changing. Once I restart the phone it gets es back to normal.

[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
Anyone here go from Tmobile to Fi? I'm curious about doing this.
[Nexus 6  General] baiju2012:
Yes, I recently did. I was on $30 T-Mobile prepaid plan for more than 3 years. But first I tested Fi here in US and in India. It was simply awesome. The only issue for me was leaving the 5gb data with the $30 plan. But I noticed that I was not using more than a GB of data for months. Most of that was due to music streaming. As you can pause the Fi service, it doesn't cost much to test it out. As long as my monthly bill was going to be in the $30 range and I get unlimited calling (which I didn't have on the $30 plan) with 1 GB of data, I was set. Plus you get incredible customer service and simple and open billing. There are features of Fi which makes it one of the best cellular services available in the market today. I wish that Google reduced the price of 1 GB data, so Fi becomes even more competitive. Hope this helps you.
[Nexus 6  General] ebyrd23:
This happens to me too. I've asked a few different places on here. No avail
[Nexus 6  General] jefflikesbagels:
Has anyone noticed that Tmobile band 12 in Orlando area is pretty slow? I get really good coverage with it now, but response times are really slow for loading webpages. In some areas I'm actually better off with band 4, but my phone almost always defaults to band 12 now. I know it's 700mhz which means it naturally won't be as fast, but we're talking going from 40mbps on band 4 to 1mbps or less on band 12.
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
I have had FI for a few weeks now, coming from Big Red.... Honestly I have to say I love the customer aspect of the service, I think this is how service providers SHOULD be. The Website and App are drop dead easy to navigate and operate, Customer service is helpful, the bill is low for me (under 30 a month, because I use less than 1 gig of data a month, so the bill is in the 20s) -- But I would be lying if I said i didnt miss the coverage I got with Verizon.

Sprint + TMobile + Wifi Do Not equal verizon by itself unfortunately... I have regularly had areas where cell service is zero, nadda, zilch, nothing - and my wife has Full bars LTE on Big Red... One of the big things for me was WIFI Calling, but now my wife just Upgraded to a Samsung S7 and she has WIFI Calling On Verizon now too... So she has Big Red + WIFI Calling and Im over here like uhhh... lol

VZW will probably be the first to 5G as well
