^I've only had it a couple days so im trying to figure it out. Tinder is definitely something new and fun to enjoy. Not used to having all of these things accessible in the palm of my hand...good lord, I sound like an old man.

Yea - I've got a dual sim phone.

It's nifty. I can receive calls from the U.S on my American number anywhere in the world (and it's like they're dialling local).

It's been a lifesaver actually. Before I was having to rely on skype (and shitty wifi), and I lost a couple clients due to dropped calls.

Call quality is always 100% this way. The downside is I can't call back - just receive.

I have the same. Dual SIM's are great for pipelining on Whatsapp with a local number.

I'm using a white Note 4, had a S4 before but the terrible battery life had to be sorted sooner rather than later.

A cheap Motorola that pretty much looks like a smaller version of the IPhone and a pre-paid deal where I pay $30 every 2 months. I laugh at people who go on ridiculous plans and rack up expensive phone bills in the hundreds per month.

Anyone here on Google Project Fi? Have an invite, and trying to decide if I should join.

Specifically, wondering if the Nexus 6 requirement is too limiting (and I should hold out for newer phone models to be added to the pgm). Also, whether the included data while roaming through most of the world works well in practice.
