Check the coverage map for U.S. locations. If you’re using your phone outside the U.S., check the 120+ supported countries where you can use Google Fi.

If we have coverage in your location: Try going to another spot nearby where you have a signal. If you are inside a building or underground, try going outside. Buildings can sometimes block signals. If that doesn’t work, continue on to the next steps.

If we don’t have coverage in your location: Connect to Wi-Fi so you can use Wi-Fi calling.

Tip: There may be a service outage.
