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.

Are old subscribers grand fathered into $5plan?
From what has been discussed on Reddit threads, yes. I believe the CEO has said it himself on their discord thread. Of course it's not written in any official capacity

I was able to use a random Miami address to sign up for a data account. For billing information, put that fake address in, chances are the payment will fail and then you can immediately change it to the correct billing address/info and it won't give you any further trouble.

Edit: make sure you sign up for eSIM only at first otherwise they'll mail you a pSIM to that Miami address
Can u order physical sim card after address correction?

I could not get that to work, I wonder if they have fixed it.

[Edit] Amex did not work but I tried again with Citi card and got through the account setup.[/Edit]

Did not see a way to add a phone and select a sim. Do I need to install the app and use it to select the sim (esim only)?

[Edit] Yep, had to install the app and login. Then I could select the esim only option. I am up and running now.[/Edit]
