Don’t do it
I’ve been a user for more than a year and experience service disruption repeatedly that has me pull my hair out.
Helium doesn’t throttle; it completely blocks use of personal wifi. The phone becomes useless. No human customer support. It takes days to resolve issues. Before signing up, have a long conversation with AI about the reasons people LEAVE Helium, and you’ll understand.

Annoying
I have already had this issue once where it saved the wrong card on file or it isn’t the right one. Fine I can get past this, but as soon as the payment doesn’t go through it throttles my internet immediately so I can’t actually solve the issue by myself and make my payment. Then on top of that to change my billing details I have to contact support instead of being able to change the info by myself. At least give me half an hour to actually fix the issue instead of just not giving me warning I don’t even need a whole day just a couple minutes so I can change the details. Genuinely frustrating as soon as my promo finishes up in December I’m switching to mint mobile done dealing with this.

GREATEST
it it’s the greatest service but I don’t like how it keep getting smaller every time
Great service
Everything works great
Garbage
Advertised as being free, but my plan was canceled and app support was non existent. Complete waste of time.
Fraud
Made us add a credit card for “taxes and fees” on the free plan then turn around and increase the plan to $15 per month. Fraudulent way to make us pay money and get payment information
No longer free tier
Free tier is now unavailable.
Service Great additional int data sucks
Enjoying the service, if they are able to lower their prices if international data it would be great
I want to like it
In theory this service seems like it should be a good idea. The reviews would tell you it is. But their execution, customer service and overall quality of speed is far from desirable. My BIGGEST complaint is absolutely having NO WARNING before my data speed is throttled. I’m throttled so much I can’t even use my phone to pay for more high speed data. That has left me in some very vulnerable situations in rural areas. This is my last month. Ever.

Reliable service, but can’t resolve tech issue
I had three lines with Helium and honestly they all worked great for the most part except for one. I had a tech issue with one for over six months, and I reached out every single month. And every single month, they assured me that it was resolved. Yet every single month one of my family members lines would cut out just a few days before his cycle would end. This made the service unreliable for my family and sadly we had to jump ship.

Check r/HeliumMobile on Reddit.
They say it best. You’ll probably regret the decision to sign up.
You can’t cancel and they keep charging your card like some kind of corporate parasite.

Junk
MF first they cancelled my plan than they delete it (0 STARS)
Great Customer Service
My SIM card got stolen and Customer Service put my account on freeze for me as I requested. We eventually got it all sorted out. Quality people.
Confused but a great app
I love this app it is really nice but the cloud pointa are confusing I have 600 smthn points and I cannot redeam not even a 5 dollar gift card for target.
Spam Calls galore
Got a new number through helium, this may be an isolated case, my number receives about a dozen spam calls/messages a day. Sadly the free plan lasted just around 7 or 8 months for me. Other than that, service worked as expected.
SCAM
It let me Pay for the Plan But wouldn’t let me add to sim .. then app changed email to account and locked me out
Frustrating! With a capital F me
Over $57 in charges for ordering a SIM card I never received and thus access to a service I was never able to verify if it worked as ideally as it feigns to profess… but based on the numerous charges for what I don’t know I would trust this vendor’s billing practices
No More Helium Zero Plan
They ended the free plan suddenly. No reason for me to stay anymore. Bye girl lol.
Worst service
I have a plan of unlimited but still I'll not get network anywhere waste of money totally!!
Can’t choose free option
I just downloaded the app on my iPhone 12 and created an account but for some reason it won’t give me the option for the free plan. It only gives me the 15 and 30 dollar plans. I explicitly downloaded the app because I thought it would be free but it keeps asking for payment. If you guys can fix that then it would be greatly appreciated.
