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.

Yes. The referral program was paused some time ago and has not been opened up again. My sense is that it won't be for a very long time.

I signed up yesterday. I ordered a psim for the chat rep. When it arrives I need to chat again to go from esim to psim. Good data point to throw out there. Rep said a psim is capable of doing voice text and data. Not sure what's gonna happen.

What's the best way to switch device? I have S23U on esim right now. I want to give this phone to someone and move my number to iPhone 12. I should just delete the esim profile on s23u and then setup esim on iPhone 12 right?

Just got an email a couple days ago saying the referral program is back and this time both people get a $5 credit, is this open only to Miami residents?
I did read the fine print and didn't see any mention of it

Edit:after clicking on the link and use your account it does list is a Miami exclusive deal

I don't see it; in fact the old referral program page has been scrubbed entirely from their site. So I don't believe so.

FYI they are going to charge $20 for unlimited service down the road for new signups not in the FL area.
I saw this when they were promoting their indoor hotspots.
