Google Fi Wireless is rolling out major network upgrades to resolve the unavoidable travel headache of going off the grid on an international trip. Just in time for the busy travel season, Google Fi has introduced six major updates to its Unlimited Premium plan, all of which are available to users at no extra cost.

The changes tackle one common issue faced by travelers: staying connected without the hassle of unreliable networks, costly roaming fees, or complicated set-up procedures. One of the biggest upgrades comes to Pixel phones. Google Fi now uses upgraded dual cellular switching technology that automatically hops between available international networks in real time.
