Helium Mobile is making waves as it debuts its innovative wireless carrier service in Miami, Florida. This marks the company’s first city in an anticipated wider rollout. What’s the big buzz? Helium Mobile is offering its services at an impressively affordable rate of just $5 per month.
This $5 monthly plan, as revealed by Helium Mobile on Tuesday, offers unlimited talk, text, and data. No need to sign a contract, making this deal even sweeter. If you’re living in Miami within the specified zip codes, or if you’ve secured a spot via the waitlist or through an existing subscriber’s referral, this offer is up for grabs.
One important thing to note: while the data is unlimited, speeds will be dialed down once a user crosses the 30GB data usage mark in a month, as confirmed by a representative from Helium Mobile. This practice isn’t unusual; it’s common among traditional unlimited wireless plans too.
It’s a substantial drop from the originally planned rate of $25 per month, which was advertised on Helium Mobile’s website until very recently. This aggressive pricing strategy clearly sets Helium Mobile apart, considering that, among mainstream mobile carriers, no-contract unlimited plans often kick off at around $25 per month.
We’re excited to announce the launch of Helium Mobile’s $5 Unlimited Plan! 🖐️
$5 for REAL?

Helium Mobile is no ordinary wireless carrier. Announced in September 2022, it operates partly on a decentralized network made up of cellular node operators. Individuals or businesses can run a dedicated 5G (or 4G) hotspot, offering service to nearby users, and in return, they’re awarded MOBILE crypto tokens.
But what happens when users are out of a Helium 5G node’s range? That’s where T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G service steps in. It acts as a fallback, ensuring that Helium Mobile’s customers stay connected, especially while the network is still in its infancy and gradually expanding. Helium Mobile has coined this as their “Dynamic Coverage” model, which was part of their 2022 partnership announcement with T-Mobile.
Nova Labs, the powerhouse behind Helium Mobile, represents the creators of the decentralized Helium network and significant contributors to its evolution. In 2022, the company secured a substantial $200 million Series D funding round, catapulting its valuation to $1.2 billion. They previously hinted at a $5-per-month service fee for Helium Mobile but hadn’t specified it would offer unlimited access.
Earning Crypto Rewards
The benefits don’t stop at affordable rates; Helium Mobile users have an opportunity to earn MOBILE tokens. How? Simply by using their phone on the network and opting to share data regarding network coverage. This clever feature allows users to contribute to enhancing the network’s reliability while earning crypto rewards—talk about a win-win.
Originating in 2019, the initial Helium network was designed to deliver wireless coverage for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as sensors and trackers. Users who ran nodes and shared their internet connection received crypto rewards in return. Currently, the network is thriving with nearly 950,000 activated nodes, approximately 400,000 of which are live at this moment.
Helium’s journey has seen it evolve significantly, adopting a “network of networks” strategy. Notably, this included the launch of its 5G network and a significant migration from its own blockchain over to Solana earlier this year.
In summary, Helium Mobile is stepping into Miami with a promising, crypto-powered hybrid wireless network, aiming to make a significant impact at a surprisingly low price point.
