If someone asked me how to make a free mobile data plan, my very first thought would be "control its DNS, packet-inspect everything on my network so I can tell who's doing what, sell that info to data brokers, advertisers, marketing agencies, etc., and insert enough legalese to my long-AF-that-nobody-reads-it terms of service that it's totally OK for me to do that." Classic case of "if it's free, it's because you are the product."

If you think I'm joking, check your own current paid ISP plan's terms of service. Non-trivial probability they're already doing similar to you, at least if you're not protected by something like the EU's GDPR.

Is that what's going on here, or is their business model different somehow?
Right now their 20$ a month plan turns out to cost a couple of dollars a month if you opt in to their location tracking. They are trying to build a network of hotpots to fill in what traditional cell towers miss. Turn on tracking and they map whenever they hit one of their hotspots. Then they try to get new ones in empty areas.

Anyways...So they will pay you in their crypto token., Which they then accept as payment.Or you can sell yourself. Im assuming they are going to expand on this somehow.

Also a while back they were talking about another app that carriers were going to opt into that allows people to use each others phones a a hotspot for a small fee.
Just a guess but maybe something with this as well.

They are not the only company going this way there are going to be some announcements very soon of others going this path
I gave them my email address for spam, so we'll see. Right now it looks like they just offer one plan -- $20/mo for unlimited.

Unfortunately I don't have use for a second Unltd line right now, even for $5 so I didn't move forward with that option. I saw in another thread somewhere that trying to get the $5 offer resulted in another message saying their location wasn't eligible. I was able to sign up for the Zero plan though, and am waiting on my sim card as I prefer the pSIM for more flexibility swapping between devices.

I am wondering though, if you can enable location sharing "while using the app only" and still qualify for the Zero plan, or if they will warn you to enable full time access first. They don't seem to give a lot of details on this. Also wondering if there is Hotspot.
I cannot speak of the zero plan, but my unlimited plan allows me to share / not share location. Sharing gives rewards. There is a hotspot that will pay give you back 0.50/gb in hnt for paid data. If it's in a location with foot traffic, T-Mobile and AT&T might be able to offload data via your hotspot and pay you 0.50/gb

I'm so excited about this Helium Mobile Zero Plan deal! I've been looking for a cheap and reliable plan for a while now, and this one seems perfect. 100 minutes of talk time, 300 texts, and 3GB of data is more than enough for me, especially since I mostly use my phone for calls, texts, and browsing the internet. The price is amazing, and I can't wait to switch over and start saving money. Plus, I've heard good things about Helium Mobile's service, so I'm confident I'll be happy with it.

I've had a helium miner for a very long time. I think it connects to my WiFi and uses that as part of its network. I don't recommend this it isn't viable as a stand alone unless they're using T-Mobile networks to sustain it I just don't think enough people have bought these $500 miners which take years to recoup the price of.

Would you be able to have this as an add-on for use overseas? Or is there a company out there like this. I'm fine with what I have but Thai would be useful as a travel option. Thoughts?

Helium is a great product and uses innovate technology. I have a couple antennas at my house to provide coverage. I will be switching as soon as my atat contract is up.

It seems that the limit is one per household. When another person from my household tried to order, they were able to verify. However, the SIM couldn't be ordered. It always gave a error that the order failed.
I just ordered a psim and NO PROBLEM. Initial note says 3-5 days. But, I got a psim confirmation email saying backordered 3 weeks.

I'd buy the qvc deal that gives you two years of 1000 minutes with texts and sms and two motorola play '23 phones for around $35 before I'd touch this deal....and they don't need all that info.
