Thanks to its phone plans, the Helium 5G network is experiencing a massive surge in growth.

On May 4th, Hellohelium entered public beta, initially available exclusively to iPhone users. However, the service is now expanding to include more iPhone models and several Android Pixel phones. The Hellohelium team has also shared a roadmap outlining which other phone models will become compatible with the Helium 5G network.

Hellohelium is a phone plan developed by Helium that you may not be familiar with. It provides unlimited everything for just $25 per month, an incredible deal. This is made possible by utilizing Helium 5G radios. If you're in range of a Helium 5G radio, your phone will connect to it, keeping your costs low and avoiding the big carriers. If you're not in range of a Helium 5G radio, that's where the T-Mobile partnership comes in. Your phone will seamlessly switch to T-Mobile towers, ensuring you have uninterrupted coverage everywhere.

Starting May 18th, Hellohelium will add support for the following phone models, with more to come in the near future:

• Apple: iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2nd Generation), iPhone SE (3rd Generation), iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Those of you with sharp eyes may have noticed something: a Solana phone? For those who are not aware, yes, Solana has created its own phone that will be compatible with HelloHelium and Helium, as it is now a Solana token. This is more great news for the DEWI (decentralized wireless) sector. If you are interested in learning more about the Solana phone, check out iJustine's video below.
