Helium CBRS Radios are part of the Helium Network that offloads cellular data from the greater T-Mobile network.

When Helium Mobile subscribers roam onto Helium CBRS Radios, Radio owners earn MOBILE for transferring data on behalf of subscribers.

We encourage all CBRS Radio owners to experience roaming with their Helium Mobile subscription. Please direct all feedback to the Helium Community Discord > #5G-CBRS.

When leaving feedback, first confirm that you're roaming on the Helium CBRS Network by following this guide.
