TL;DR
- Helium Mobile has discontinued its Zero Plan, which previously offered limited data, texts, and minutes for free.
- Existing Zero Plan users are reportedly being transitioned to the paid Air plan for their next billing cycle unless they cancel.
- The company also recently ended its legacy $5 and $20 plans, despite earlier promises that customers could keep them.
MVNO Helium Mobile made waves early last year with the Zero Plan, a phone plan that offered 3GB of data, 300 texts, and 100 minutes of phone calls for absolutely nothing — no hidden fees or monthly plans. The plan seemed too good to be true, but it was (for a while at least). Alas, all good things must come to an end, as Helium Mobile has now discontinued the Zero Plan without offering much of a reason.
Reddit user mkzio92 noticed that Helium Mobile removed all support pages related to the Zero Plan and updated their website to say, “The Zero plan is not currently being offered.”
