Looks like Helium Mobile is coming out of beta.

It's available today to those in the Miami area for $5+taxes and fees. It will slowly be rolling out to other areas soon.

Current beta testers will be upgraded to the $5 price as well even if they are not in Miami.

Depending on your phone model, it may use an eSim or a combination of eSim/pSim.

EDIT: If you are referred by an existing subscriber you can get the $5 price anywhere in the US right now. Each account only gets 2 referrals, so they are in short supply.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Helium mobile uses dual SIM system (1 voice SIM and 1 data e-SIM) so you will get 2 SIMs. Both run on T-mobile network but the data SIM also supports Helium CBRS. The voice SIM has limited data to support MMS service. Limited because the data speed on voice SIM will be lowered to 1mbps.

Whether you get a voice p-SIM or a voice e-SIM depends on the phone you select during signup. For example, if you select iPhone 14, you will get 2 eSIMs because this phone doesn't support pSIM. Otoh, if you select iPhone 11, you will get 1 voice pSIM and 1 data eSIM. The phone you select doesn't have to be the real phone you use. For example, if you want to use 1 eSIM for voice and data (but slow), select iPhone 14 and download voice eSIM to your phone.

You can use this wireless service without installing app or getting involved with crypto.

people interested in helium mobile should watch this video

Note that the above Youtube is about Helium Network. otoh, Helium Mobile doesn't run on this network. (true, but it is from the same company, and the video paints a rather clear picture of the sketchiness of the company) Instead, it's a combination of T-mobile cellular + Helium 3.5GHz CBRS network.

Edit: As expected, now that this is public info they patched it. The zip code check is still client side so it seems like it's possible to bypass still but I did not investigate any further.

Original post below:

Originally I didn't want to make this method too easy because it'll be easy for them to patch out, but now I'm getting a lot of DMs and people asking for gifts for referrals, and that's not really something I wanted to see so I'll post the exact method for less tech savvy people to use (keep in mind that they can still easily patch this).

I can't seem to edit the wiki (I guess because I'm a "new user" despite being on here for 9 years; maybe because my reputation is too low). So if anyone else wants to edit this in, go for it.

This method is provided AS IS; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

So the method is simple:
1. Use a modern, desktop browser; I can't be bothered to write/transpile this to support older browsers
2. Open dev tools (for chrome it's just F12, for others you may have to google it)
3. Go through sign up. For EVERY page that you see zip code, paste the code below into the devtools and press enter. This includes the initial sign up page + address page + final payment page.
const original = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window, 'fetch');
Object.defineProperty(window, 'fetch', Object.assign({}, original, {
value: function (path, options) {
if (typeof path !== 'string' || path !== '/api/authCheck') {
return original.value.apply(this, arguments);
}
const bodyObj = JSON.parse(options.body);
bodyObj.zip = '33125';
options.body = JSON.stringify(bodyObj);
return original.value.call(this, path, options);
}
}));

Remember that this resets every time the page changes, so you have to re-paste it.

If this worked for you, I ask that you share your 2 referrals with the community and upvote this message.

Thanks!

Edit: do the code above before you press any kind of continue or submit button.

This doesn't require you to mine, buy, invest, shill, or do anything with cryptocurrency.
The crypto stuff is optional. Only enable if you want that.

Just treat it like a super cheap phone plan.

It runs on the tmobile network and will also process data through Helium 5g hotspots when available.

I've been beta testing it for a little bit and it's pretty sweet.
In my galaxy s20 ultra, I'm running a visible pSim as my primary and the helium eSim as my secondary..

I was actually on a road trip the other day and didn't have any verizon coverage in the area, but I was able to quickly switch over to Helium with 2 taps with no issues.

Yes. With a referral you can sign up from anywhere in the US.
Without a referral, sign up is only from Miami atm.

Each beta account only got two referrals.

Hey, I got this Helium service a couple months ago for free while in beta. I'm using it on a backup phone and kept my Google Fi service and I gotta say the Helium has been a better service as far as data and service areas. The Google service has kinda been disappointing but the Helium has been a surprise. I planned on cancelling once it came out of beta but at $5 a month I guess I'm going to keep it and keep evaluating it. If I wasn't waiting on promo credits with Google Fi I think I would have moved my primary service to Helium. I hope this helps someone and let me know if you have any questions.

Not a sneaky crypto ad.
I didn't even mention the location mapping which you can enable in order to earn MOBILE tokens on the Solana chain.(It's off by default, you need to turn it on through the app if you want it)

It's just a slick deal for decent service.
