How to add Google Fi to tablets

Compatible tablets

The tablets that work with Google Fi:

• Android tablets with 7.0 or up and LTE bands 2 and 4 (US versions)
• iPads with iOS 14 or up and LTE bands 2 and 4 (US versions)
• Samsung Galaxy Tabs S2 or up (US version)
• Nexus 9 LTE (US version)
• Sony Xperia Z4 (US version)

Some devices need a nano SIM to micro SIM adapter.

Other devices

Data-only SIMs may work with devices that aren’t on the list. To use a data-only SIM, devices must be unlocked and support T-Mobile (GSM radio). You can order a data-only SIM and test it out. However, activation and troubleshooting may not work with unsupported devices.

Tip: If you set up a data-only SIM with a phone, you can access data but you can't make calls and send texts across the mobile network.

About SIM adapters

For Google Fi, you should use a nano SIM card. If your device has a different-sized SIM tray, you’ll need a SIM adapter. You can purchase an adapter online or at many electronic retailers.

Find out what SIM card your device uses

To find the SIM card size for your device, go to the manufacturer’s website. If your device uses a micro SIM, you should buy a nano SIM to micro SIM adapter.
