Found this startup advertising its mobile plan. Now a Pixel 8 Pro purchase will get you a free 12-months unlimited mobile plan. It seems to be good deal for the phone itself already.

Regarding the mobile plan quality, some reddit posts mention the network provider is T-mobile and people are satisfied with what they are getting so far. But again, it's a startup, of course it's going to start strong, but who knows what will happen in a year...

Nice deal! Considering it.

The plan is worth $15/mo to me (that's what I pay for my 5gb plan - I would never use a 30gb plan. May be worth more for others), so that makes the phone $520, which is great for a p8p.

I see the only major risk is if they downgrade service or go out of business in under a year, and you are stuck buying a more expensive plan.

Tip: If you go with this, pay with a credit card like AMEX that gives a second year of warranty free. That's a better value than an extra 1-2% cash back.
Nice catch, eagle eyes!

I took this as an opportunity to see how good their support was.
- No phone number or email on their website.
- After waiting about 40 minutes for a human, the chat broke.
- They have a nice AI bot that gave me the wrong answer.

Chat thread below:

Our partner service is experiencing an interruption in Miami and they are working to fix it. You can still connect to Wi-Fi and any Helium Mobile Hotspots in your area.

I have a Different Question

Ok no problem, what's on your mind?
Pre sales question on the Pixel 8 Pro deal here: https://hellohelium.com/pixel8pro
I noticed in the tech specs of that page, it says the phone has a 6.2 inch screen. That is the screen for the P8, not the P8Pro, which has a 6.7 inch screen.
I wanted to verify that the phone is indeed a Pixel 8 Pro and not a Pixel 8.

The Pixel 8 Pro deal indeed includes a Pixel 8 Pro and not just a Pixel 8. The deal specifies that it comes with 12 months of free Helium Mobile service, an exclusive subscriber badge, and mentions the Pixel 8 Pro's tech specs, such as its dimensions, weight, and the contents of the box. Additionally, the promotion highlights premium features of the Pixel 8 Pro, like a larger display, clearer photos, and pro-level specs, which distinguish it from the standard Pixel 8 model.

Sure thing, you will be transferred to the next available agent.

The link provided by the AI bot says "6.2-inch OLED Display" - which is indicative of a Pixel 8, not a Pixel 8 pro. Just wanted to verify.

It sounds like a good deal but when you scroll down to Pixel 8 Pro tech specs they listed the Pixel 8 specs. "Display 6.2-inch OLED Display" is a dead giveaway. Are they giving a pixel 8 or 8 pro?

639 + $5/mo for 12 mo service = $699 (the op rounded up to 700).

That's their hook to keep you on their service "social network" instead of just buying and dropping - you won't be able to get a better plan for $5/mo, and it keeps your credit card active, in the hopes you will like the service and stay on after a year for full price.

Beats monthly bill credits, that's for sure.

They got back to me and verified that it is a P8Pro:

Even though the phone is unlocked but the free plan seems to be locked to the phone https://i.slickdeals.net/images/smil...t-rolleyes.gif

How do I claim my free Helium Mobile months?
Once you receive your order, depending on which Pixel model you bought, you get 4, 9, or 12 months of free Helium Mobile service!

The steps will guide you though everything from creating your account to entering your phones IMEI 1 to get the free months. Please note that using IMEI 2 will not properly apply the promo.

Do I have to use the Pixel I bought for the free Helium Mobile service?
