A Few Things to Know
Your hours last for 30 days or until you’ve used them all, whichever comes first. Unused minutes expire and don’t roll over.
Each new purchase replaces your current International Calling balance. Purchases can’t be stacked, so wait until your hours run low or expire before buying more.
International Calling purchases are non-refundable and aren’t prorated, including for unused minutes or expired add-ons.
Once your 30 days are up or your minutes run out, you can repurchase anytime to keep calling.
FAQs
How do I check how many minutes I have left?
Go to Add-Ons > International Calling in your account to see your remaining balance.
What’s the difference between International Roaming and International Calling?
International Calling lets you make calls from the US to friends and family who are outside the US.
International Roaming lets you make calls, send texts, and use data while you’re outside the US. You can also call friends at home and abroad with Roaming enabled, so you won’t need both at the same time.
What happens if I have International Roaming turned on?
If you call from within the US while both are active, your International Calling minutes take priority over roaming. Your roaming data and texts aren’t affected.
We recommend buying only one at a time, since International Roaming is only needed when you’re outside the US.
Can I buy International Calling for someone in my group?
Yes! A Group Admin can purchase International Calling for any group member.
Open the Group Plans icon in the app, select the member, and tap Purchase under International Calling. The member will have 30 days to use the minutes.
Which countries can I call?
Helium Mobile supports calls to over 200 countries. See the full list of countries.
