Do you pay them or any of their subsidiaries for anything?

I have cell service on Google Fi. Long, painful (still-ongoing) story short, they shipped me a Pixel 4a that had no cell service. I went back and forth with support for ten days. Then they shipped me a replacement phone. I confirmed my current address. They sent me a shipping notification for my current address. FedEx ended up delivering the package, no signature required, to a town I used to live in five years ago. I double checked and my current address is the only one on the account.

Going back and forth with support has been useless. I paid for a phone that doesn't work, and I'm being charged for service that I can't use. My last recourse is to refute the payments with my CC company....but that also seems like the quickest way to get my entire Google/YT/Google Fi account locked up because it's all tied together.

Yes, one of the places that I back up photos is google photos and I pay them $ for that.

I'm assuming you think that is an important thing to condition on?

I am not planning on refuting any charges that google gives me any time soon and would try and back up all of my data before doing that.


Then you are realistically fine

Even in a case similar to mine, visiting takeout.google.com before doing anything with billing is always a great idea :)
