On: Charge, a phone company with features for nerds

Oh cool, so you're like Google Fi but 30% more expensive!

Google Fi only works with Nexus 5x, 6, and 6P. Charge works with any Sprint-compatible phone including iPhone.

Google Fi requires unlimited voice/SMS at $20/month, which many people likely do not care about. To maintain data only, Charge only charges $3 a month.

A more direct competitor in the "low monthly fee for light usage" MVNO space is RingPlus, which seems to be cheaper than Charge.

There seems to be a different MVNO optimized for virtually every usage pattern.
