hi im new to google fi and i have a few questions i wondering if someone can help me google fi customer service doesn't seem to understand what i am asking
until now when i was in another country for a long period at a time i used google voice to make calls and text to family and friends in the usa free of charge over wifi or mobile data, i now have a google fi flexible plan and i want to know if it can be used the same way i do know that google fi has the 20c per minute international charge but that's only over cellular my question is if there's someway to make sure that google fi doesn't use cellular and only through wifi or data from my other sim to make calls for free from another country to the usa?
thanks !

If you put your phone in airplane mode, it can not use the cellular network to make a call. If you then turn on wifi, it will be able to use that.

to ensure it' s using wifi put your phone into airplane mode. Then turn on wifi mode if it isn't already on. See https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2819583?hl=en#zippy=%2Cairplane-mode

Also worth mentioning that not all locations are supported for over-the-wifi calls. Learned the hard way.
