Thinking about joining a group? We'll show you how!

Updated over 3 weeks ago

As of February 26th, 2025, Group Plans are available to join for all subscribers on a monthly plan!

How do I create a Group plan?

Existing monthly subscribers can send an invite to a friend or your chosen family member to create a group in the Helium Mobile app by navigating to the orange "Group Plans" icon.

You will need to provide a valid email address for the person you wish to invite. This email can be of an existing subscriber or a friend who has never joined our service before. This email will be sent an invite with a code to their inbox.

When they accept, they’ll just need to create an account using the invited email, set a password, and provide their name and home address. Group members will not need to provide any payment. Once complete, they’ll be ready to get started with Helium Mobile.

Note, invited group members will receive a special code to sign up for Helium Mobile. This will be included in their invite that receive to their email inbox.


How many people can I add to my group?

Including the group admin, groups can contain a maximum of 8 subscribers. Therefore, you can add up to 7 additional people.


Are there age restrictions for a group plan?

A Group Plan Admin must be over the age of 18, Helium Mobile subscriptions are only available to individuals 18 years old and above. Any minor Members of a Group Plan must be sixteen (16) years of age or older. The Admin must be the minor Members’ (the “Child”) parent or legal guardian and can sign up on their behalf. Please see section 13 of the terms and conditions for details.


My friend / chosen family member is already on Helium Mobile. Can I add them to my group?

Yes you can! Just enter in their email address associated with their Helium Mobile account to invite them.


How does billing work?

The Group Admin will be billed for all lines on the group account, where taxes will be calculated individually per member. When a new member is added, the amount is prorated for the first month so the billing date remains the same for the admin.

Payment information will only be visible to the group admin.


Can I leave a group, or remove someone from my group?

Group members can leave a group at any time without permission from the group admin. If a subscriber leaves a group, they will need to provide payment information at that time and switch to an individual plan.

Group admins can remove someone from a group at any time with no notice to them. If you are removed from a group, you will receive a notice in your email inbox. Please contact support for further instructions.


I am on a Legacy Plan, will I lose my wallet if I join a group?

Nope! If you are on a Legacy Unlimited Plan, your Helium Mobile experience will remain the same if you join a group, including your wallet and mapping.


Does the whole group share data?

Nope! Every group member gets their own data, talk, and text. Allocated gigabytes of data, text messages, and voice minutes will depend on the group member's individual plan.


Can I limit or moderate usage on people within my group?

Nope! Group members have full control over their own data usage.


Can add-ons like International Roaming and Data Boost be added to the whole group?

Yes! In app version 3.0.3 and above, Group Admin's can open the "Group Plans" icon, select a group member, and tap "Purchase" under "International Roaming" or "Data Boost".

Add-on's will only be applied to the Group Member's individual SIM and must be purchased individually per member.


If I want to cancel my group plan, does every line get canceled?

All group members must be removed or leave a group before a Group Admin can cancel their plan. If a subscription is cancelled due to lack of payment, all subscribers in the group will be cancelled.

If a group member is on a Legacy Unlimited Plan, they will lose this plan if the their group is cancelled due to non-payment.


Where can I see everyone on my group plan?

You can view your group members from the "Group Plans" icon on the Helium Mobile app.


Can I use my referral code to invite people to a group plan?

You cannot use your referral code to invite group members to your plan. Group members must be invited via email from the Helium Mobile App. To sign up, your group member will use a special code they receive in their inbox.

This will not count as a referral.


I was in a group plan that got canceled, can I reactivate on my own?
