Introduction#
Helium Mobile is a US SIM card with no monthly fee (supports eSIM)
Theoretically, it can be data-free, but I have not found a signal to test it.
But it supports Wi-Fi calling.
To participate, you need an internal testing invitation code; otherwise, you can only join the waitlist.
Here’s my invitation code: 96G47TJ
Now my invitation code has no restrictions, feel free to register.
Guidance: You can register using the information of a celebrity to avoid KYC.
👑 Official APP:
Apple APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/helium-mobile/id1640323514
Search for it in the Play Store for Android.
✔️ SIM Activation Guide#
Ⅰ Download the APP and register an account using the invitation code (96G47TJ). Fill in a tax-free state address in the US. A very important point: you must log in to the APP using a US line.
Ⅱ After registration, you need to complete real-name verification (remember to fill in the US address in English; the input address and confirmation address must be consistent. Just find a tax-free state address in the US to input). Use a Chinese passport for KYC; most of the time, it will fail verification, so contact customer service after midnight to get it approved! (When contacting customer service, use a US IP; they will ask if you are in the US. You must answer yes!)
Ⅲ Generally, using a passport directly will not pass. Here’s a little trick: try several times until it shows (Identity Verification failed. Please contact support to retry.) When this English message appears, you can contact customer service and tell them: my ID verification failed. They will ask you to verify information like email and name, which is very simple. Then they will send you an email asking you to re-verify, but you won’t receive the email because the previous message (Identity Verification failed. Please contact support to retry.) indicates that you have tried multiple times. They have already sent you an email, so take a screenshot of the link in that email and tell them it still failed. They will switch to the backend and ask the backend staff to help you succeed. They will definitely find a way to help you succeed.
Ⅳ After customer service notifies you that the review is approved, log back into the APP. You need to enable location services; otherwise, you cannot access the homepage. Once on the homepage, you can scan the eSIM QR code to obtain your number.
Ⅴ This US eSIM is a physical number from a newly established operator. The main business is decentralized, so opinions on this eSIM may vary.
