- Helium Mobile reportedly plans to end its free Zero Plan for existing subscribers on June 11.
- Customers who take no action will apparently be moved to the $15/month Air Plan.
- After ending the plan for new subscribers last month, Helium told us at the time that existing Zero Plan subscribers were “not impacted.”
The haters said a free carrier mobile plan wouldn’t be sustainable — and they were correct. Honestly, great call from the haters. Helium Mobile made waves last year with its Zero Plan, offering a limited amount of data, texts, and calls for no monthly fee at a time when even cheap phone plans usually still involve, you know, paying for them. It already stopped offering the plan to new customers last month, and now the free ride appears to be ending for existing subscribers too.
As detailed by The Mobile Report, Helium Mobile has emailed Zero Plan customers to inform them that the plan will be discontinued on June 11. The company reportedly told subscribers that the free plan is “not sustainable long term,” and that customers who take no action will be automatically moved to Helium’s $15/month Air Plan. After we reported last month that Helium had stopped offering the Zero Plan to new subscribers, the carrier told us that “existing Zero plan subscribers are not impacted.” Based on this latest email, they very much are.
