Helium has sent out an e-mail to existing Helium mobile free plan users informing them that the plan is being discontinued on June 11, 2026. If users don’t take any action they will automatically be upgraded (and up charged) to the Air Plan that costs $15 per month.
We have some important news to share regarding your Zero Plan.
We’ve made the difficult decision to sunset the Zero Plan on June 11, 2026.
The Zero Plan gave thousands of people free wireless service and helped build the fastest-growing, people-powered wireless network in the US. While we were able to offer this plan for a while, it’s not sustainable long term. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined and gave us a chance. By focusing on our paid plans, we can invest in a better experience and stronger coverage for subscribers.
If you take no action, you’ll be automatically upgraded to the $15/month Air Plan on June 11.
This isn’t a huge surprise as first they added taxes and fees, then a merchant processing fee and finally cut off sign ups for new users.
