How to Use Google Fi Super Network on Pixel Phones

Google Fi launched its super network on November 10, 2026. Pixel 9 and newer phones now switch between two 5G networks in real time.

This keeps you on a strong signal when one network weakens. The feature is included on every Google Fi plan at no extra cost.

What the Google Fi Super Network Does

The super network uses Multiple Enabled Profiles (MEP) technology. One eSIM holds two carrier profiles at once.

Your Pixel monitors signal strength and switches automatically if the primary connection drops. Google describes the networks as “two of America’s best 5G cellular networks.” It does not name the second carrier.

Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ also expands. The phone joins high-quality Wi-Fi networks in millions of locations without manual login. Connections stay encrypted through Google Fi’s Virtual Carrier Network.

International travel works the same way on Unlimited Premium and Flexible plans. High-speed data limits still apply.

Check Device and Plan Requirements

You need a Pixel 9, Pixel 10, or Pixel 11 series phone. Older models receive the feature in 2027.

Google Fi must run on eSIM. Disable any other SIM profiles. Dual-SIM use is not supported while switching is active.

Every current Google Fi plan includes the super network. No upgrade is required.

Confirm your software is up to date. Open Settings > System > System update and install any available patches.

Set Up the Super Network

Follow these steps on a supported Pixel.

1. Open the Google Fi app. Sign in with the account linked to your plan.
2. Go to the Account or Settings section. Look for network or connectivity options.
3. Ensure eSIM is the active profile. Remove or disable other SIMs if present.
4. Restart the phone. This helps the system load both profiles.
5. Test in an area with variable coverage. Walk between strong and weak signal zones and watch the connection status.

The switch happens in the background. You will not see a manual toggle. The Fi app may show a “Your super network” section with connection details once active.

Ask Fi, the new AI support agent in the Fi app, can answer questions about coverage or billing.

Tips for Best Results

Keep the phone charged. Low battery can limit network features.

Enable Wi-Fi Auto Connect+ if you often move through airports, malls, or stadiums. It is available on Pixel 5a and newer and rolling out to select Samsung and Motorola devices.

For international trips, review the data allowance on your plan before you leave. Unlimited Premium includes up to 50 GB of high-speed data per person.

If switching does not appear, confirm eSIM is the only active SIM and that the device is Pixel 9 or newer. Contact support through the Fi app if issues continue.
