It was rumored earlier this year that Google is going to launch its own mobile virtual network operator or MVNO and eventually it did, however it’s not open to all devices. Since its launch Project Fi has only been compatible with the Nexus 6 but now there’s finally another device that’s compatible with the virtual network. It’s the new Moto X Pure Edition, an unlocked unit will work perfectly on Google’s Project Fi network.
From the looks of it though one would need an unactivated Project Fi SIM card to start using the Moto X Pure Edition on Project Fi. The handset with the Project Fi app installed is going to recognize the SIM and ask the user if they want to activate it.
Once the SIM is activated the app tells the user that they will be assigned a phone number in the next ten minutes and once that happens users can easily make and receive calls, use LTE and do pretty much everything they’ll be able to do with a Nexus 6 on Project Fi.
It must be kept in mind though that Google doesn’t seem to have officially support the new Moto X Pure Edition on Project Fi, and while the handset works now, the possibility exists that the company might pull the plug until it decides which other devices should officially join the Nexus 6 on its virtual mobile network.
