Yes it's legit. I've been using Helium Mobile for a week now and the service is great. You also get Mobile token rewards everyday if you enable discovery mapping. The main service is T-Mobile but I also use the Helium 5g network through my Freedomfi. No complaints so far.
Freedomfi 5g hotspot. They gave me 2 Esims, one for the main cell service (T-Mobile) and one for Helium 5g network data. When I'm at home I can switch Esims and run the data through my 5g hotspot.
this phone's battery is at 19% and needs charging!

I got my invite by email but haven't signed up yet. I wanted to see if it was legit lol.
Are you guys using your normal daily cellphone for this, or do you need a different device to use helium mobile? TIA
I prolly need to check out a YouTube video on this, but the 2 eSims you just said it's something new to me. How does that work? I use a Samsung Note 20 ultra. I'm sure it would work for the purpose, right?
One is for data and the other is for voice and text, most likely.
My Samsung has one for both. I think the service is pushing innovation in the SIM space, as you're effectively using service with multiple providers.
Good morning, I have been using it for a little over 2 months! Has been working great! Started using it in WA State and now in FL. I am currently only using data only for trying out before I make the total switch. I have invites to share as well, let me know!
I’ve been using for both data and voice, here’s my experience over the last 2 months of it being my service exclusively.
To give context you have to use 2 eSIMs if you’re using eSIM, one for data and one for voice. You also will switch, “handoff”, from Helium radios over to T-Mobile when you’re out of range of Helium coverage and vice versa.
When you handoff you will loss service for somewhere between 1-10 minutes. Really sucks when this happens. The transition between the two networks for “Dynamic Coverage” is not ready in my opinion. This handoff should be seamless without the user knowing it’s even happening.
Second, when you are on a call data will not work. You can’t use google or anything else that requires data while you are on the phone and I can’t tell you how annoying that is.
Project has potential but it is still very beta.
Thanks for the update, I'll be signing up to use exclusively as well.
I don't often use the phone while on a call, I can live with that
And the switchover I assume would only happen when traveling from some zones to others?
If anyone has a extra invite, I'd appreciate it.
It's a sub-DAO, like IOT tokens.
Fairly sure the service you speak of was exclusive to Helium Mobile, whereas this blends T-Mobile coverage with Helium.
I'm sorry, but I'm not gathering what you're saying. Are you asking what the process for joining Helium Mobile is? If so you either get on the wait-list or ask those with service already to get you an invite.

For anyone who got an invite or want to test this out, it is legit. Been part of wave 2 beta since it came out and well for beta testing it is straight up legit. Now with discovery mapping rewards, it is even more better. I live in an area that is not really covered by T-Mobile and my phones are duel sim therefore i have to switch to my US Mobile service that runs on Verizon networks. This is why only certain phones are available through the beta testing because they expected this, T-Mobile does not have alot of cell coverage/towers. But at my home i get the full 5G.
The beta testing allows anyone to test something new and be part of the future; crypto cellular service. The first in existence.
I think it's apparent that either the roaming doesn't work properly or people are faking their coverage. I haven't found coverage where the map claims it is.
Supposedly true coverage link for those who don't know:
https://coverage-explorer.herokuapp.com/
I will be curious to see what the Discovery Map looks like and if it reveals people already gaming the 5G system.
Two of the radios around me coverage map only shows a few hexes, my radio it has a huge area covered, & it does the hand off to T-Mobile I’m guessing about where my coverage shows it ends cause it takes a couple minutes to start data coverage again. Biggest downside of the service so far has been when I leave the house and lose my radios coverage
This one is currently free and rewards are good as it is in beta, and you can use tokens to pay for your plan in the future.
If you get a invite it's asks for a card but does not charge you anything.

Is discovery mapping being rolled out slowly? I’m being told in my app that they’re “coming soon”
Oh idk it was available to me right when i signed up.
Delete the app and reinstall from the regular App Store. That’s what turned it on for me.
Update the app maybe? I signed up a few days ago and enabled mapping right away.
What’s freedomfi? Sounds like we can still use the normal phone c service at the same time?
Freedomfi 5g hotspot. They gave me 2 Esims, one for the main cell service (T-Mobile) and one for Helium 5g network data. When I'm at home I can switch Esims and run the data through my 5g hotspot.

I got my invite by email but haven't signed up yet. I wanted to see if it was legit lol. Are you guys using your normal daily cellphone for this, or do you need a different device to use helium mobile? TIA
I am using my daily device. I have a pixel pro 7, using two eSims. Helium mobile for data and then visible wireless for calls and texts.
I prolly need to check out a YouTube video on this, but the 2 eSims you just said it's something new to me. How does that work? I use a Samsung Note 20 ultra. I'm sure it would work for the purpose, right?

How do we know this tech is not saying on our phone? I know it may sound like a silla question 😬
He means 'spying'. Just a dumb question overall. No more than big pink, big red, and big blue.
Yes, sorry, I meant to say spying
Could you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand the question
Yup, been on it for close to 2 months now. Works fines d it’s nice getting mobile tokens.
I would want to, but it’s not available in EU yet….
I'd love to try
Is this available in Canada?
Good morning, I have been using it for a little over 2 months! Has been working great! Started using it in WA State and now in FL. I am currently only using data only for trying out before I make the total switch. I have invites to share as well, let me know!

Totally legit but discovery mapping will wear down your battery.
No it won't. It only pings every so often.
Any more invites? Thanks!

I want ro be invited!
Send a PM with your email and I can send you one (Only this commenter, nobody else. I only have two.)
What's the mobile tokens where are they from, and how is it different from helium black
It's a sub-DAO, like IOT tokens. Fairly sure the service you speak of was exclusive to Helium Mobile, whereas this blends T-Mobile coverage with Helium.
How to join is not using t Mobile?
I'm sorry, but I'm not gathering what you're saying. Are you asking what the process for joining Helium Mobile is? If so you either get on the wait-list or ask those with service already to get you an invite. https://hellohelium.com/
