Google Fi, the tech company's mobile virtual network operator, once
based its service on three different carrier networks for subscribers to
hop between in search of the best signal. While that dropped to two
after the T-Mobile and Sprint merger combined networks, now that's been
limited to one after Google reportedly dropped US Cellular as an
official network.

Google Fi's support had supposedly told users that US Cellular was going
away last week, according to a Reddit post. Google Fi Google Fi users
can still tap into US Cellular's network, but only while roaming, which
users still won't be charged for, a Google representative told 9to5Google.
