Google's Project Fi, the massive tech company's upstart wireless provider, has announced that it will now offer an automatic bill-splitting feature for group plans. With the new feature, Project Fi members will receive alerts that have been calculated to account for their portion of the bill, and, once set up, those notifications will require no management on the part of any of the members on the group plan.
The automatic bill-splitting feature offers several different options for repayments from other members on one's group plan. The primary member can decide whether to send notifications asking for the full amount from each member, a fixed amount each month that stays static regardless of whether it's more or less than that user's total, or only the charge for any additional data they used over their monthly limit.
