Billing

What happens if my payment fails?

If we are unable to charge your card for the next billing cycle, your account will go into suspension. We do send notifications both through the app and via email when this occurs, or if your card is nearing expiration, to help try and prevent this. You can update your card on file at any time in the app by tapping your initials icon in the upper left, then tapping the Billing section at the top.


When does the Billing Cycle start? How do I find my renewal date?

Your billing cycle begins on the day you create your account and will renew monthly on that day. So if you create it on March 15th, it will renew on the 15th of each month. If a month doesn’t have that start date, it will be billed on the last day of the month. For example, starting on January 31, February 28 would renew (or February 29 in a leap year), then March 31, April 30, and so on. This date is visible right in the app, by tapping your initials icon in the upper left, then tapping the Billing section at the top. Note that there is currently no way to change the billing date.


Annual plans will renew one year from you billing date.


How do I change my payment method?

You can update your card on file at any time in the app by tapping your initials icon in the upper left, then tapping the Billing section at the top. Please ensure that the information you enter is correct and valid, as a card error may result in a failed payment.


Where can I view/download my invoice?

You can update your card on file at any time in the app by tapping your initials icon in the upper left > tapping the Billing section at the top, then tapping the View Billing History button.


How do I cancel my plan?

We understand that things change. You can cancel your plan at any time by making the change on your account at https://hellohelium.com/ or in the Helium Mobile App. We reserve the right to terminate any service plan you purchased from us at our discretion at any time and by these Ts&Cs and our Acceptable Use Policy.

If you cancel the services at any time, your services will remain active until the end of the corresponding billing cycle and you will not be charged any services fees for any future billing cycles.


How do I get my Port Out information when I cancel my account?

If you decide to cancel your account, and you want to take your phone number with you to your next provider, you can request the Port Out PIN and your account number any time in the app by:

  • Tapping your initials icon in the upper left

  • Tap into the Billing section at the top

  • Choose Cancel Plan

  • Select a reason from the drop-down menu and Continue

  • When asked if you want to take your number with you choose "Yes, please"

  • Read through the information, check the boxes, and tap Cancel my Plan.

Your Port Out information will display on the next page, as well as be available on your Plan page.

*For security, port-out PINs expire after 3 days. A new one can be requested after that by following the same steps.


Can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Yep! Thanks to our partners at Sphere we accept most tokens, including your MOBILE rewards. For more information, please visit our How-To Guide.


Can I use a prepaid credit card?

Prepaid and virtual/privacy cards are not currently accepted for new accounts.


If I make changes to my plan, is billing prorated?

All plan changes take effect on your next billing cycle, so upgrades are not prorated. You can make adjustments to your plan directly in the Helium Mobile app, or through the website here: www.hellohelium.com/account


Are there any taxes or fees?

Yes. Your Helium Mobile Plan is subject to federal, state, and legal fees based on your provided service address.

  • FCC Regulatory Fee (Wireless)

  • Federal USF Cellular

  • E911 Fee

  • E988 Fee

  • State Wireless/Telecom Fees

  • Local Wireless/Telecom Fees

*On signup, there is a $25.00 hold placed on the account to verify the credit card. This temporary hold will automatically remove itself within 5-7 business days. If after 7 business days you still see this hold, please reach out to the support team using the Live Chat feature in your account, or email [email protected].


What happens if my bill is overdue?

You will have a 3-day grace period to pay your monthly bill. You will receive a reminder email when your bill is one day overdue. After 3 days, your service will be temporarily suspended. After you pay your bill, your service will be restored.


My subscription was suspended, how long do I have before it deactivates?

Once your subscription has been suspended, you have until your next billing date to pay your bill before we deactivate your account. Once your account is deactivated, your SIMs, phone number, and account will no longer be usable. You will no longer have service with Helium Mobile.
