Scam company!
Scam company!! Stay away!! They lied to their customers about forever pricing. They promised $5 unlimited for as long as you were a customer and didn’t change it cancel your plan to beta users and now they are trying to say they never promised this even though there is physical evidence of it! Update… The problem is it said FOREVER! I hope helium goes under for misleading its early adopters!!!
Response from Helium MobileJan 21, 2026
Back in March 2023, we shared a blog post discussing that invite-only beta users would be eligible for a promotional “Unlimited Plan” price, which would remain in place as long as they stayed active subscribers. This was echoed in a few subsequent emails sent to the waitlist. We mentioned $25 promo pricing (instead of $40 Unlimited), but we hadn’t launched with pricing at that point. Instead, Beta participants who joined through the waitlist were initially able to participate for free when Helium Mobile officially launched in May 2023. Later, in August 2023, we notified beta participants that the free beta program was ending. The $25 promo plan was never launched, instead we offered the $5/month plan. On January 12th, 2026, we announced that the $5 plan would be discontinued effective January 27, 2026. The retirement of the $5 plan was made fully in line with our terms and conditions, which all subscribers agree to during signup. These terms and conditions have always reserved our right to change plan offerings, pricings and discounts as our services evolve. We understand why the recent announcement about the retirement of the $5 plan may feel disappointing. Please know that this decision wasn’t made lightly, but to further our mission of providing affordable mobile service to as many as possible. We’re committed to supporting you through this transition and have provided options to move to one of our current plans, which continue to offer strong value and service. Alternatively, as always, you may cancel your account with us at any time without penalty and port your number to a new carrier. We’re genuinely grateful for your early support and the role you played in helping build Helium Mobile. If you would like help choosing a new plan, our support team is here and happy to assist.
