New Yorkers: The City Is Calling. Your Phone Plan Is Free.

New York City is one of the most expensive places in the world. Rent? Sky-high. Coffee? Eight bucks. A phone plan? Easily over $100 a month.

But what if one essential thing—your connection to the world—could be free? Helium Mobile is the only carrier to offer a completely free phone plan that rewards you, plus two more ultra affordable plans to keep you connected.

Introducing Helium Mobile to NYC

This summer, Helium Mobile is hitting the streets of New York with a radically simple offer: a free phone plan. No contracts. No credit card needed. No hidden fees. Just a free phone plan that rewards you, designed to keep New Yorkers connected.

And because this is NYC, we’re doing it big.

We’re teaming up with local businesses across the boroughs to throw free parties, pop up at iconic events, and treat New Yorkers to unforgettable moments—all while spreading the word about a better way to stay connected.

Because in a city where the cost of living keeps climbing, access to the internet isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. And in 2025, staying connected should be a right, not a privilege.

Why New York?

New Yorkers move fast, think big, and demand better. But traditional carriers? They’re stuck in the past—charging over $100 a month for service that struggles to keep up.

Helium Mobile is built different. You get nationwide 5G coverage, plus an extra boost from the Helium Network—a first-of-its-kind, community-powered network built by everyday people across the U.S.

Traditional carriers rely on expensive cell towers for coverage, and those costs get passed down to you. But Helium Mobile takes a smarter approach. By tapping into the community-built Helium Network instead of depending solely on those big towers, we’re able to keep costs low—without compromising coverage.

The result? A phone plan that’s reliable, radically affordable—and yes, even free.

So why NYC? Because this is the city that sets the standard, moves the culture, and doesn’t settle for less. And neither do we. Helium Mobile is here to raise the bar—and make sure every New Yorker can stay connected without breaking the bank.

The Free Plan

Stay connected—for $0/month. Perfect for light users, travelers, or anyone curious to try Helium Mobile as a second SIM. No contracts. No credit card needed. Bring your own device and number. No catch. Just a free, reliable phone plan that works.

With the Zero Plan, you get:

• 3GB of high-speed data
• 300 texts
• 100 minutes of calls
• Cloud Points redeemable for eGift cards in the in-app Cloud Store

All for free.

Need More? Upgrade Anytime.

When you need more data, talk, or text, we've got you covered with two ultra-affordable monthly plans. Each gives you high-speed data and the ability to earn Cloud Points, which you can redeem in our Cloud Store for eGift cards to top brands.

From free to unlimited, Helium Mobile has a plan for every kind of New Yorker—without the bloated price tags.

The City Is Calling. Are You Ready to Answer?

You’ll see us all over the city this summer—on the sidewalks, in the subways, and especially at the food markets you love. We’ll be answering questions, showing people how to get a phone plan, and making it easier for New Yorkers to enjoy everything this city has to offer—with one less bill to stress about.

So go ahead: Catch that Broadway show. Hit the ball game. Order takeout. Grab a chopped cheese. Your phone plan’s free.
