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.

So if I tell them I have a z fold 3 or a Z flip 4, they give one a single esim which handles everything? Tempted to try that so I don't have to run dual sim in any phone that supports esim.

So interesting development. I messaged customer service about switching phones from pixel 6a to iPhone 12 pro. I asked them about activating all services (voice and data) on a single sim to avoid battery drain. They obliged! I currently have full service on a PSIM running on an iPhone 12 pro. No lying or finagling needed. They told me some users were not able to use voice and data at the same time with a dual sim setup. So they are accommodating for single sim setups now. All current and recent Samsung phones allow for single esim setup too.

I just ordered. Their setup screen website failed to port my US mobile number... guess i will wait tomorrow morning for their support to get back to me.

I do wish to have a single esim for everything (I had selected iphone 13), anyone got lucky with them with an iPhone.

I tried using this code anytime it asked for zip info, including payment. though I had to change the const variable name because well it's a constant, but no matter what card I try it always says "card has been declined" even though none of them show the temp charge on my account

I initially tried my actual address but it said I had to join the waitlist, even after using the code. I'm not sure if the purpose of this code was so you could enter your actual address? I then tried some random miami address (still using the code) and I keep getting card declined

Update: their website had an issue porting my number from US Mobile.

Their support staff was helpful and fixed the issue within a few hours... Also the second agent was able to make my account have a single eSIM line for both voice+data on my iPhone. Really happy with their support so far.

yes u need to ask them to change the defaults.

Once they do https://my.hellohelium.com/account will show "Voice and data" single eSIM for your account.

vs. the usual one eSIM for data and second esim for voice...

just to make sure that is not a typo. Are you saying you run both voice and data on Psim not esim ?

Does selecting a phone with 1 eSIM for voice and data mean you have slow data (1Mbps) like the wiki states? Why would anyone do that?
