Project Fi Is Now Google Fi: Accurate 2026 Answers

Project Fi became Google Fi in November 2018. It runs on T-Mobile in the US. Here is what changed and what to do before you move your number.

Last updated October 3, 2026

Project Fi is now Google Fi. The name changed in 2018 and the service still runs. Here is how to get your Google Fi account number and transfer PIN before you move your number to another carrier.

Account Number

Project Fi is now Google Fi. Request the account number from Google Fi — Project Fi is only a former name.

Transfer PIN

Google Fi issues the transfer PIN. There is no separate Project Fi PIN.

Project Fi is now Google Fi. Google renamed the service in November 2018. It launched on April 22, 2015 using the Sprint and T-Mobile networks, later added US Cellular, and today runs on T-Mobile in the United States. Google Fi and US Cellular ended their partnership in February 2023.

Google Fi ran on the T-Mobile network. Reference card showing where to get the Google Fi account number and transfer PIN.
Google Fi runs on the T-Mobile network.

What network does Google Fi use?

T-Mobile. The Sprint side disappeared when T-Mobile shut down the Sprint network in 2022, and the US Cellular partnership ended in February 2023, leaving T-Mobile as the only US network behind Google Fi.

Before you move your number

Get your account number and transfer PIN from your Google Fi account while the line is still active, then hand both to the carrier you are moving to. Keep the line open until the transfer completes.

Do not cancel first. Cancelling a line before the transfer finishes releases the phone number. Once it is released you may not get it back. Start the port at the new carrier and let the old line close itself.

Is Project Fi still a thing?

Only as an old name. The service is Google Fi.

Did Google Fi ever run on Sprint?

Yes. Sprint was one of the two original networks at launch in 2015. Sprint’s network was shut down in 2022.

Is Google Fi still in service?

No. Google Fi no longer operates as a carrier — it was renamed.

Where did Google Fi customers go?

Accounts moved to Google Fi. If your line still works, it is a Google Fi account now, and that is who you request an account number and transfer PIN from.

Check coverage before you port

Google Fi runs on the T-Mobile network, so check the T-Mobile coverage map for the addresses where you live and work before you port.

Your right to keep the number is federal, not a carrier policy. The rule is the FCC’s: Portability: Keeping Your Phone Number When Changing Service Providers.

Working a counter? The Google Fi transfer PIN lookup puts these steps on one screen and texts them to the customer.
