We know that Google is working on wireless service that will allegedly work by tying together T-Mobile, Sprint, and WiFi networks. Now, a latest leak is giving more details about Google’s Mobile Virtual Operator Network (MVNO).
Android Police got their hands on an application from a leaked firmware build for a Nexus 6. The image, which is build LVY47H, includes an app called Tycho that allows to pay bills, change your plan details, and even activate/cancel service or request a new phone number from within the app.
The Tycho app also references “Project Fi” which is said to be the codename will only charge users based on data they actually consumed and even credit unused ones at the end of the month. There are references to shared data and data-only service, and some strings suggest that you’ll be able to switch which phone you’re using with Project Fi with the press of a button. Calling and texting U.S. based numbers is free, with a small fee associated with international communications.
