Helium Mobile Introduces the Nation’s First Free Phone Plan

  • The first-of-its-kind free phone plan offers incredible service and coverage at flexible and affordable prices.
  • Cloud Points is a new rewards program where subscribers will be able to earn points for sharing where they use their phone the most, referring friends, providing feedback, and more. Points can be redeemed for gift cards to popular stores and experiences.
  • The plan is currently invite-only. Anyone in the US can be referred or join the waitlist to receive access and participate in shaping the future of mobile.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helium Mobile, a cell phone service built on the world’s first community-powered network and the nation’s largest 5G network, today launched the Zero Plan, a truly free phone plan designed to make connectivity more accessible than ever. Offering 3GB of data, 300 texts, and 100 minutes, the Zero Plan is completely free with no contracts, hidden fees, or gimmicks.

Leveraging a network owned and operated by individuals rather than big corporations, Helium Mobile can significantly reduce costs to offer nationwide service with unprecedented pricing. Combining the Helium Network with the nation’s largest 5G network, the service ensures reliable connectivity for everything from family vacations to back-to-school moments and daily life in between.

In an industry where affordability is often sacrificed for quality, Helium Mobile is flipping the script by introducing a plan that’s not only free, but also rewards its users. Through its Cloud Points program, subscribers can earn points by participating in activities like anonymized location sharing, referrals, and surveys. These points can be redeemed for gift cards to popular stores and experiences, from food to rideshares, streaming services, and more—turning everyday connectivity into real-world value.

“Connectivity is an essential part of life—whether it’s for staying in touch with loved ones, accessing education, or building businesses. But for far too long, the telco industry has treated it like a luxury, not a right,” said Coco Tang, General Manager of Helium Mobile Subscribers. “This is more than just a free phone plan; it’s a movement to make wireless service accessible, affordable, and rewarding for everyone. Our mission is simple: empower people, not corporations.”

Flexible Plans for Every Lifestyle

Helium Mobile offers plans for everyone:

  • Zero Plan ($0/month): 3GB of data, 300 texts, and 100 minutes
  • Air Plan ($15/month): 10GB of data with unlimited talk and text
  • Infinity Plan ($30/month): Unlimited data, talk, and text

All plans are built with flexibility in mind, allowing subscribers to choose options that fit their unique lifestyles. Whether upgrading to more data or transitioning from the free plan, users have the freedom to adapt their service as their needs evolve. Helium Mobile also operates on a bring-your-own-device policy, giving subscribers the option to keep their current phones and phone numbers while upgrading their service. With Concierge Service, Helium Mobile’s live support agents can also help customers navigate the process of switching by calling their old carrier and making sure there’s no disruption in service.

Already trusted by thousands of subscribers who have signed up for Helium Mobile, the service is redefining what a carrier can be—accessible, affordable, and community-driven. To manage high demand, a waitlist for the new plans is now open. Early adopters can secure their spot and gain access to the first truly free phone plan by visiting hellohelium.com.
