The plan is worth $15/mo to me (that's what I pay for my 5gb plan - I would never use a 30gb plan. May be worth more for others), so that makes the phone $520, which is great for a p8p.
I see the only major risk is if they downgrade service or go out of business in under a year, and you are stuck buying a more expensive plan.
Tip: If you go with this, pay with a credit card like AMEX that gives a second year of warranty free. That's a better value than an extra 1-2% cash back.
I took this as an opportunity to see how good their support was.
- No phone number or email on their website.
- After waiting about 40 minutes for a human, the chat broke.
- They have a nice AI bot that gave me the wrong answer.

Our partner service is experiencing an interruption in Miami and they are working to fix it. You can still connect to Wi-Fi and any Helium Mobile Hotspots in your area.

I have a Different Question
Ok no problem, what's on your mind?
Pre sales question on the Pixel 8 Pro deal here: https://hellohelium.com/pixel8pro
I noticed in the tech specs of that page, it says the phone has a 6.2 inch screen. That is the screen for the P8, not the P8Pro, which has a 6.7 inch screen.
I wanted to verify that the phone is indeed a Pixel 8 Pro and not a Pixel 8.
The Pixel 8 Pro deal indeed includes a Pixel 8 Pro and not just a Pixel 8. The deal specifies that it comes with 12 months of free Helium Mobile service, an exclusive subscriber badge, and mentions the Pixel 8 Pro's tech specs, such as its dimensions, weight, and the contents of the box. Additionally, the promotion highlights premium features of the Pixel 8 Pro, like a larger display, clearer photos, and pro-level specs, which distinguish it from the standard Pixel 8 model.

Sure thing, you will be transferred to the next available agent.

The link provided by the AI bot says "6.2-inch OLED Display" - which is indicative of a Pixel 8, not a Pixel 8 pro. Just wanted to verify.

That's their hook to keep you on their service "social network" instead of just buying and dropping - you won't be able to get a better plan for $5/mo, and it keeps your credit card active, in the hopes you will like the service and stay on after a year for full price.
Beats monthly bill credits, that's for sure.

Once you receive your order, depending on which Pixel model you bought, you get 4, 9, or 12 months of free Helium Mobile service!
If you're new to Helium Mobile, visit hellohelium.com/pixel-redeem to view the step by step guide on how to redeem your free months. The steps will guide you though everything from creating your account to entering your phones IMEI 1 to get the free months. Please note that using IMEI 2 will not properly apply the promo.
Do I have to use the Pixel I bought for the free Helium Mobile service?
Yes, To ensure you get all the benefits of the promotion the free service offer is tied directly to the Pixel IMEI and can only be redeemed once. Note these free months are non-transferrable between Helium Mobile accounts.

Please beware of what you will be associating with.

But, the $5/mo service can't be used with another phone. It's locked to your phones IMEI.
It seems they really want you to use the service on that phone for a year, and if they offer $5/mo non-transferable service, you probably will.
I don't understand the reason behind that policy - maybe they want to make money off their social/crypto network scheme that I don't totally understand.
But I also don't see it as a big deal. You can cancel the $5/mo service if you don't want it. You can't really lose unless they fail to give you the promised year of t mobile service.
Still decided against this. This other deal is mathematically better for me.
