Add more flexibility to your Helium plan with Add-Ons.
From adding additional high speed data to international calling and roaming, you can purchase an Add-On directly in the Helium Mobile app whenever you need it.
How to purchase an Add-On:
Open the Helium Mobile app (latest version recommended.)
Tap the Add-Ons tab from the home page.
Select the Add-On you’d like to purchase.
Review the available options and complete your purchase.
Your Add-On will be available after purchase.
⚠️Important: Add-Ons do not stack.⚠️
When purchasing additional Data Boost, International Calling, or International Roaming, your new purchase will replace any remaining balance from a previous purchase. Unused data, minutes, or allowances will not be combined with your new Add-Ons purchase. Any remaining balance from a previous Add-On will be replaced by the new Add-Ons purchase.
Available Add-Ons:
Data Boost

Running low on high-speed data? Add more anytime through the Helium Mobile app. Data Boosts are available for $5.00 per GB (plus taxes and fees), with 5GB and 10GB bundle options available for additional savings.
Data Boost FAQ
Why would I need Data Boost on the Infinity plan?
The Infinity Plan includes unlimited data with 36GB of high-speed data each billing cycle. After 36GB, you can continue using data, but speeds may be reduced during times of network congestion until your plan renews.
A Data Boost gives you additional high-speed data if you need faster speeds before your next billing cycle.
Can I purchase Data Boost for a Group Plan member?
Yes. Group Admins can purchase Data Boost for individual group members through the Group Plans section of the Helium Mobile app.
Can I choose the speed of my Data Boost?
No. Data Boost is delivered at the same speeds as your standard high-speed data.
Where can I view my data usage?
You can view your usage in the Usage section of the Helium Mobile app.
Does Data Boost work with hotspot or tethering?
No. Data Boost only applies to your device's cellular data and cannot be used for hotspot or tethering usage.
Can I use Data Boost internationally?
No. Data Boost is only available for domestic usage within the United States.
If you're traveling internationally, purchase the International Roaming Add-On instead.
