Cellular Modems
«

I would like to setup a cellular modem as a failover in case there is any issue with my home internet. I am following the incstructions here
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/cellular.html
. The issue I am running into is the provider I would like to use is Google FI, and this is not listed as a provider. Is there some manual configuration that I can use instead? I am not sure what exactly would be needed for this.
I am in the US and this is a standard Google FI plan. I am hoping to be able to use the same account as my phone. This will then only charge me for data that is actually used. If I never need to use the failover then there is no charge to me.

...primarily you will have to get your cell phone modem up and running, the provider is not a problem, usually. Choose your modem wisely, we recently had a thread here linking the pfsense wiki for compatible hardware for BSD. ;-)
