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.

Now I understand why their device support list only have $600+ phones.
This company doesn't want low income people.
Another reason is that cheaper phones don't have eSIM

That voice pSIM also has data. 3 ppl (including myself) reported in this thread that they initially got 60mbps speed on pSIM but throttled down to 1mbps after a few hours. Let us know if you experience the same.
Confirmed. I am using two eSIMs, and the voice one did get speed throttled to 1Mbps after some MB of data. Still have good speed on the data eSim.

I got a referral and had no trouble signing up. Works great and the price is right. Been on it for a week with no ragrets.

Setting a breakpoint at the zip code validation and changing the value seems to work for me. Yesterday I was able to sign up for a psim (+esim) with my own real address and zip code. I was also able to use a card with the same zip code and it went through fine.

If you don't know how to do this and feel comfortable sharing the necessary info with me (use a privacy card and limit the charge!), DM me and I can help.

Would anyone that signed up be willing to send me an invite? I'm spitting distance from Miami but my zip code doesn't qualify and my phone can't run with two esims, so I can't ship =(

Invites are scarce. If I were you (live close to Miami), I'd find a friend who lives in Dade county. After signing up, you can change the address and have psim shipped to you.

Has anyone tried changing the billing address for one of their credit cards temporarily? I feel like that should bypass the zip code requirement. Then just change it all back once you're done
