One of the few phones you can use on Project Fi is the Fi exclusive Android One Moto X4. Android One Moto X4 is essentially Moto X4 that is cleaner and has Google backing. Currently Fi sells Moto X4 at $249 (after $150) discount but for each pair of Moto X4 you buy (up to 6 total) you also get $249 credit. You can sweeten this deal further through a referral.

The Deal and Terms and Conditions

The $150 discount is automatic during checkout but requires you activate Fi within 30 days of device shipment. If you fail to do so you’ll be charged full price.

The $249 bill credit is applied for purchase of each pair of Moto X4 (valid up to 3 pair). The key T&C are as follows:

• both devices must be activated within 30 days
• users must be active for 21 days to be eligible to receive credit
• Limit is the smaller of 6 Android One Moto X4s or the size of the group plan
• This offer is valid from April 3, 2018, at 12:00 AM PDT–May 2, 2018 at 11:59 PM PDT, or while supplies last
• This offer can be combined with ongoing $150 off with activation discount

or just use the code 2TWE71

If you don’t have Project Fi then you can

• signup through above referral for $20 credit
• signup 2nd account through your referral thus netting +$20 credit on both accounts
• combine 2nd account into the primary account
• repeat for as many lines as you need
• buy Moto X4 – one pair for 2 line, up to 2 pair for 4 lines, and up to 3 pair for 6 lines

Crunching Numbers

After $150 discount per device, the cost of two Moto X4 will be $498 + tax. You’ll additionally get $249 Fi credit. If you happen to join through a referral you get +$20 credit and possibly $20 x 2 for referring second user before including him/her to your plan. There is a possibility that second credit might not post once you invite him/her into your plan. Overall, if you’re maxing this out you’ll end up paying $498 + tax for

• two Moto X4
• $249 (possibly can be refunded to credit card but I doubt it)
• $20+ 2 x $20 = $60 referral credit

Overall Thoughts

The big question to ask is – does this phone work for you? If the answer is yes and if you’re a Fi user then this is a very good deal.

If you’re the type who pauses Fi when they’re not travelling then $249 credit can last a long time. If you’re a regular user with typical $40 bill then $249 credit will last 6 months which is pretty good in itself.
