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.

Is this a sneaky crypto ad? I remember hearing about Helium in the news a while back, and it was about how they were using crypto to incentivize running Helium nodes. Is that still going on or have they pivoted to a non-crypto model?

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.

I just signed up for the app. Are you referring to the physical card that they will send you or is there a virtual number somewhere that I'm not seeing?

No there isn't. All phones require at least 2 sims. Either dual eSIM if your phone supports that (iphone 14 for example) or one esim for the 30GB data and one physical SIM for the voice line and SMS/MMS.

Some of us who rec'd the physical sim ran some speed tests with it, but after the first couple of fast tests the speed is now only about 1mbps.

Does the 1mbps on the pSIM cut off at 30GB, or will it keep going after that at slow speeds?

Helium doesn't specify any data amount for the voice sim. If it is indeed 30GBs, no one would realistically ever hit 30GBs with a 1mbps download speed!

Does this mean voice pSIM has 30GB+ data quota? I read somewhere that pSIM has a small data. 30GB doesn't seem small.

My apologies. I just remember I also got a cash card. You might have to request it on the cash app. You will then have a physical card that you have full control over (no address attached to it)
