Right now you can get Google Fi for 50% off, or as low as $11.50 per line for four users
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google recently revamped its plans by upgrading its data allotments and a few other changes, including adding a new Essential plan to the mix. I already wrote about how the new changes make Google Fi more competitive than ever. While the new plan was already highly affordable at just $35 a month for one line (or less for multi-line accounts), what if you could get Fi for an additional 50% off? For a limited time, Google Fi is offering its service at half price for the next 18 months. As you'd expect, there are a few limitations and qualifications here: You must be a new customer or have been without service for more than 180 days. You must activate the line within 30 days of redeeming the promotion, and it will expire 18 months after redemption. You must sign up for and stay on either the Unlimited Essentials or the Unlimited Standard plan. You must bring your own device, and if you elect to upgrade, you'll have to pay full price for any new devices. While Google previously offered a very similar deal during the holiday 2024 season, this is the first time they've ran this promo in 2025. The offer expires on June 5, so we recommend acting sooner rather than later. Although it's possible Google could offer this promotion again around the holidays, there's certainly no guarantee here. As for how much you'll play exactly with the discount activated? Essentials starts at $17.50 a month for one line, or as low as $11.50 per month for four lines or more. Standard starts at $25 a month for one line, or as low as $12.50 per month for four lines or more. This is exceptionally cheap for a service that has similar priority to T-Mobile's mid-range or higher plans. In fact, Google Fi is my number one recommendation for those looking for service on T-Mobile's network. Yes, I rate it above T-Mobile's postpaid service. There are several reasons why I recommend it over postpaid service, including its high priority access, its excellent international features, its solid phone promotions, and the incredible value on offer. Be sure to hit up Fi Wireless' official website to sign up for 50% off now or to learn more about Google Fi. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Zoe Saldana refusing to give smart phones to her twins
Zoe Saldana is refusing to give smart phones to her 10-year-old twins. The Hollywood actress is mother to 10-year-old sons Cy and Bowie - as well as their younger brother Zen, eight - with her husband Marco Perego and she's revealed the elder boys have been pestering her for smart phones but she's refusing to give in to their demands. Zoe told The Hollywood Reporter: "The phone has become a conversation with the 10-year-olds right now. "And we're okay with repeating the big sermon: 'You will have it eventually, but right now, everything that you may need that comes from a phone, we can provide'. "My kids right now, they're going through a period where, yes, they'll talk about it, but when we do give them the phone, they just want to look at their baby pictures." Zoe - who stars in new advertising campaign for T-Mobile - went on to admit she isn't great with technology herself and only cares about whether a phone has a good camera. She added: "My husband is a lot more [tech] savvy than I am, and my sister is too ... Honestly, I'm boring! "But I love when my phones have a good camera because I am all about capturing moments in my life. In the commercial, I kept talking about the iPhone 16, and they were super kind enough to give me a phone. "So I told them, I don't know the difference between any of 'em, but I do want you guys to get me the one that has the best camera." It comes after Zoe recently revealed she's glad the Hollywood awards season is over so she can spent more time with her young family. She was a regular on the red carpet at the star of the year as she promoted her movie 'Emilia Perez' and she went on to win the Best Actress in a Supporting Role Oscar for the part, but Zoe admitted she wanted some time off at the end of the run. Zoe told E! News: "I would like to take my kids to school and pick them up. And I would want them to finish this school year with their mama by their side because they are so resilient, and they have been backing me up along with my husband this entire campaign. "But I miss my children like I miss air, like I miss water, and I just can't wait to come to school.'

All the Kai Cenat 2025 Streamer University Controversy, Explained
It was nothing if not ambitious. Last weekend, Kai Cenat, one of the world's top Twitch streamers, took over a college campus in Akron to host 'Streamer University,' a four-day program that drew 120 students and 17 professors. All food/lodging expenses were covered by Kai, and each student was gifted a T-Mobile phone from which they could livestream their entire experience. Like real school, students could partake in semi-serious classes to prime themselves for virality (like 'Monetization for Dummies' and 'Defense Against Hating'). Also like real school, there was real drama, which is inevitable when you put a large number of young people in close quarters for an extended period of time (see: Love Island, any season). But unlike real college, the Streamer University students were fame-hungry and surveilled by hundreds of thousands of Twitch users 24/7. Thanks to that, we got a handful of meme-worthy moments, plus highly entertaining evidence that the creator economy is alive and well. So alive and well, in fact, that these participants were willing to commit to 96 hours of live-streamed dormitory life to succeed within it. Plus, the University of Akron was willing to loan their campus to a 23-year-old Twitch star to host this action. 'Our team is committed to helping the greater Akron community and beyond take advantage of all UA has to offer by hosting successful events on our campus,' said Brandon Alexander, the University of Akron's director of conference and events services. 'As we establish campus as an incredible option for large-scale conferences, it only serves to benefit the region.' Now you may ask–who had the time to keep up with a round-the-clock production like Streamer University? And I have the same question. But I've made it my mission to figure out exactly how this whole Kai Cenat fest went down. So let's run back the most notable moments that transpired at the most-discussed fake college around. From a viewership standpoint, SU was a success. According to Cenat's team, it garnered over 23 million total hours watched. The most-viewed participants included Kai (obviously), his Twitch stream regular/right-hand man, Ray, and the influencer India Love, who you might remember from her popular presence on Tumblr in the early 2010s. (We love cross-platform success.) In potentially less exciting news, the university's top-viewed channel belonged to 'professor' DDG, who was also named the weekend's MVP. Earlier this month, DDG's ex, Halle Bailey, received a temporary restraining order against DDG, alleging abuse, so the decision to name him SU's MVP was a divisive one. Kai made the initial call for Streamer University applicants earlier this month via a very Harry Potter-inspired trailer. We were finally able to meet the inaugural class of 120 creators selected during an hour-long meet-and-greet video, which you can watch on YouTube (should you have time to spare). Here's a rundown of the weekend's top ten performers: Is the route to online success predictable enough to build a curriculum around? The school's class offerings would indicate that. Students could take courses taught by 'professors' (aka popular influencers like Duke Dennis and cookingwithkya) on the following need-to-know influencing concepts: SU was not without its hiccups. Before classes kicked off, controversy began to brew about admissions. The streamer Malik Richh hopped online to accuse Kai of favoritism, saying that he had a bias for close friends and established creators during the student selection process. Some of the program's female participants were also subject to misogynistic claims from social media commentators, insinuating that their admission was based on looks alone. Despite that noise, SU was truly a win for the girls involved, with streamers like Primate Paige and Daejorno sharing their accounts' significant growth after the program. Throughout the weekend, physical altercations also arose, a dorm room was trashed, and one student was even sent to the hospital after getting injured during a water gun battle. In another highly-discussed moment, Drake's number was leaked during a livestreamed FaceTime call with one of the students, Tylil. He revealed the rapper's number to his audience by turning his phone toward the camera, which Drake took fairly well, telling him, 'You definitely leaked my number. Don't worry, I can get a new number tomorrow. It's a blessing in disguise anyway.' The rapper also sent in a congratulations message for graduates, which was shown during the commencement ceremony. So that's what you missed on Glee. It's unlikely that everyone who's graduated from Streamer University can or will replicate Kai's unique success. This man has had stars like Tyla, SZA, Benny Blanco, and Kevin Hart join his streams and has (inadvertently) caused a full-blown riot on the streets of New York City. But if anything, the fanfare and intrigue around this past weekend's livestreamed programming is pretty indicative that we've entered a new chapter of online influencing. One in which authentic, no-holds-barred access to creators might take precedence over carefully edited content. Kai implied that platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime were interested in buying the streaming rights for "Streamer University," but justified his decision to keep the operation independent on Twitch, with a strong message for creators. During a post-university stream, he said: "With an idea like this original, you gotta keep it where it's at. I want y'all to learn something, bro. [Your] channels, and who you are as a person… This [your] idea, this is [your] stuff. Treat your platform as you would treat other platforms."
