As a frequent traveler, Google Project Fi (thanks for signing up via my link! We’ll both get $20) is my absolute favorite. I love being able to connect to cellular data networks when I’m traveling in over 135 countries! Before I traveled to Belize, I checked whether or not I would have coverage and was disappointed to find out that I would not have service in Belize.
So imagine my surprise when I landed at Belize City, Belize (BZE), switched my phone out of airplane mode, and connected to a cellular network! I had previously been with T-Mobile, which also offers good international data coverage. However, T-Mobile only offers roaming in some countries, so I wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t see additional charges on my bill.
I contacted a Google representative via chat. It took him a few minutes to look into what was going on, but he told me that Google Project Fi does, in fact, have a partner that at least offers coverage in Belize City (at the same $10/GB rate as everywhere else)! I’m writing this post from San Pedro, Belize (SPR) and I also have coverage here. I’m not sure how much of the rest of Belize has coverage with a Google Project Fi partner, but if you’re traveling to Belize and have Google Project Fi, you will at least have coverage in some parts of the country!
I would love to hear from other people who have used Google Fi in Belize (or at all!) to see if coverage is more widespread than just the two cities I tried it out in.
We’re actually heading down to San Pedro today and get in tonight around 6! How long are you there?
See you there!
love san pedro. jealous
It’s great so far! What were your fav activities and restaurants here? Would love to check them out!
Would you mind sharing your project-fi referral code? Thx!
Here you go, Val! https://g.co/fi/r/V0M557 Let me know what you think of it!
I had my Nexus 6p and my brothers Fi phone worked awesome in February 2018 in most of the mainland of Belize.(belmopan, Spanish lookout, Hopkins, placencia). Then I went home,(MI) reset my phone to factory new because it was getting so slow…again. I went back to Belize and it didn’t work any where. My wife and son came with 2 different Fi phones and noneof the 3 worked any more in Belize for March or April 2018. Sent lots of emails to support and nothing worked. We gave up. ANY IDEAS?
I am an American who lives in orange walk Belize. I came down with a tmo sim and it worked fine. I would love to get a project fi card but will need to wait a year to get one. If it works where tmo works than I know it works in Corazal town and Orange walk town.
So does google fi work in corozal Consejo
It work in Orange Walk, and therefore should in czl as well.
