Helium Mobile Kids Plans: $5/Month Keeps Parents in the Loop
Introducing Helium Mobile Kids Plans—starting with Sprout. A simple, reliable phone plan for just $5/month—so kids stay connected and parents stay in control, without breaking the bank.
Let’s face it, today kids are more connected than ever. And having a phone isn’t a luxury for them—it’s a lifeline. From coordinating school pickups to staying in touch with family and friends, it’s more important than ever for kids (and parents) to be able to stay connected reliably, without breaking the bank.
That’s why we created Helium Mobile Kids Plans, starting with Sprout—a simple, $5/month phone plan that gives kids a little more independence while keeping parents fully in control. It’s the perfect balance of freedom and oversight, designed for families navigating their kids’ introduction to connectivity.
Their Phone Plan. Your Rules.
Helium Mobile Kids Plans give kids their own line, while parents or guardians stay fully in control through our easy-to-use app. Manage Cloud Point rewards and monitor usage—all from your phone.
Whether it’s your kid’s first phone plan or you’re making the move from another carrier, we’ve made getting started simple. Our live support team (aka Concierge Support) is here to walk you through setup, or fully handle the switch for you. No awkward calls, no surprise fees, no stress.
What's included?
Glad you asked. Here’s what the the $5/month Kids Sprout Plan is all about:
- Nationwide 5G coverage. So kids can stay connected wherever life (or school trips) take them.
- 3GB of data + unlimited talk and text. Enough to stay in touch without the stress of overages.
- Parental oversight. Parents or guardians manage the account and monitor usage directly from their own Helium Mobile App.
- Privacy-first. While Helium Mobile’s standard plans use anonymized location data to help strengthen our community-powered network, all Kids Plans take a different approach. For added safety and compliance, we will never ask subscribers on kids’ accounts to share location data—period.
Whether it’s their first phone, a safety backup, or a way to check in after soccer practice, this plan is a smart step toward responsible phone ownership.
Because Parenting Is Already Hard Enough.
Let’s be real: you’re already juggling a thousand things, all while the cost of living keeps climbing. You don’t need to add “expensive phone plan” to the list just to stay connected with your kid. With Helium Mobile, there are no contracts, no surprise fees, and no nonsense. Just simple, flexible options that grow with your family.
And while we’re on a roll, Kids Plans are the latest in a string of game-changing moves from Helium Mobile. You might’ve heard about our Zero Plan (yep, the free one) or seen us popping up around New York City this summer, teaming up with local businesses to spread the word. We’re on a mission to make mobile service accessible, affordable, and actually good for everyone, including families.
TL;DR
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally get your kid a phone for less than a fancy latte, this is it.
Start with Sprout: $5/month. Real coverage. Full control. Zero stress.
