Helium Mobile Quietly Outpaces Competition in Prepaid Growth

In a quiet revolution reshaping the mobile landscape, decentralized wireless carrier Helium Mobile has done something very interesting: outpaced every major U.S. telecom in net new prepaid subscriber growth.
What's fueling this impressive surge?
The answer can be found in Helium Mobile's unique blend of blockchain technology, competitive pricing, and community-powered coverage.
Helium Mobile's innovative approach to infrastructure is an important part of its rapid growth. Unlike traditional carriers, it taps into a growing network of users running hotspots compatible with the Helium network.
Instead of solely relying on cell towers, this decentralized approach not only lowers costs but also expands reach, particularly in underserved areas.
Helium Mobile's prepaid offering is compelling on its own, providing unlimited talk, text, and data for just $20 a month.
But the really interesting part is the opportunity for subscribers to earn MOBILE tokens for participating in coverage mapping and network validation.
Recent data from the Helium Foundation shows that Helium Mobile's prepaid subscriber base has grown much faster than AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon in Q1 2025.

Not to mention, Helium Mobile added over 20,000 new hotspots in just a single day, highlighting the impressive growth of the Helium network.
The surge shows its potential to change and influence traditional telecom models, offering more affordable and flexible services for users.
Helium Mobile's growth is a great example of the trend in decentralized wireless. As blockchain tech matures, DeWi has emerged as a real alternative to traditional telecom. Helium was among the first to prove this model could work, initially with Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and now with full mobile service.
