Regarding the "No GPS Tracking" clause:
This does not mean your child's phone cannot use GPS or be tracked by you. It simply means that Helium does not track these accounts the way they track others, which they do for data harvesting to subsidize other free/cheap services.

Promo price vs a regular non promo price. Hardly an apples to apples comparison. I typically stay away from promo deals because after it's done, you're under the gun to switch or stuck paying higher rates. I'm a big fan of set it and forget it.
Carrier offload. Helium has a network of hotspots that any carrier can use to help take load off of their cellular network for cheap. Hotspots run off wifi and the owner can be anyone, including you. You get paid in cryptocurrency to put up these hotspots (ideally deployed in businesses and high foot traffic areas). You'll get paid for providing good coverage and the amount of data your device transfers.
Also I'm wondering if there's slow down after the 3gb or just a hard cap.
Good2gomobile has $60/yr unlimited talk text w 1 gb, then slows to 256
I agree. I would be amazed if they're making any money on this line at all. Might even be a loss leader. I'm also a little skeptical about this working well for kids. They're not exactly the most careful when it comes to data consumption. 3gb might not be enough for them. I kind of wish they didn't market towards kids at all. Just have it as a standalone plan

I have the zero plan. How do I deploy hotspots?
