How to Set Up Your Solana Phone with Helium Mobile's SIM Card [Ref Code 93KYYG9)
Congratulations on receiving your Solana Phone! This innovative device is ready to take your mobile experience to the next level with Helium Mobile’s SIM card. There have been reports of people receiving only the VOICE SIM card and not the data SIM card, but there’s no need to worry. You can use both talk/text and data features with only a Voice SIM card! Here’s a straightforward guide to get you set up and running in no time.
Step 1: Preparing the SIM Card
Upon receiving your VOICE SIM card from Helium Mobile, you will notice it's attached to a larger plastic card. To fit it into your Solana Phone, you’ll need to break it out of the initial card. Snap it out a second time to reduce its size further, and then carefully snap it out once more to obtain the smallest version of the SIM. This nano-sized SIM card is what your phone will require.
Step 2: Inserting the SIM Card
Your Solana Phone comes with a SIM card pullout tray, which can be accessed using the included SIM card tool. Insert the tool into the small hole beside the tray to eject it. Once you have the tray out, place the nano SIM into slot #1. Ensure it’s securely fitted and then slide the tray back into the phone.
Step 3: Downloading the Helium Mobile App
To activate your service, you will need the Helium Mobile app. Go to the Google Play Store on your Solana Phone and download the Helium Mobile app.
Step 4: Creating an Account
Open the app and sign up for an account. If you're already a member, simply log in. During this process, feel free to use the referral code 93KYYG9
to earn an additional $5 credit.
Step 5: Registering Your Phone
In the app, you'll need to enter the IMEI for your phone for SIM slot 1. You can find this information by going to Settings > About Phone > IMEI (sim slot 1) on your Solana Phone. Enter this number into the app to link your phone to the service.
Step 6: Activating the Service
The final step is to verify the SIM card number in the Helium Mobile app. Once verified, the app will enable both Voice & Data, offering you what Helium Mobile calls "Dynamic Coverage," which utilizes both cellular and peer-to-peer networks to optimize your connection.
Step 7: Transferring or Getting a New Number
Once the app is set up, you have the option to transfer an existing mobile number or to get assigned a new one. Choose the option that best suits your needs. If you're transferring a number, follow the prompts to initiate the transfer process. For a new number, simply select the option and one will be assigned to you.
Step 8: Confirming Activation
After completing the registration and setup, the "Helium Mobile SIM Setup" should be marked as complete in the app. You should be able to see your phone number displayed within the app interface. Additionally, ensure that both 'Voice & Data Enabled' and 'Dynamic Coverage Enhanced' are checked off, indicated by a blue and red checkmark logo.
Step 9: Restart and Test
It's always a good idea to restart your phone after setting up a new service. Once your Solana Phone powers back on, make a test call or send a text to confirm that your number is working properly.
Step 10: Enable Mapping to Earn $MOBILE Points
In the Helium Mobile app, consider turning on the 'Mapping' feature. This allows your phone to assist in strengthening the Helium network's coverage. As a benefit, you'll earn $MOBILE points which can be redeemed to pay your monthly phone bill.
Step 11: Enjoy Affordable Plans
Take advantage of Helium Mobile's competitive plan, which currently stands at only $20 a month before fees. This plan includes unlimited talk, text, and data, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.
Step 12: Monitor Your Usage and Rewards
Keep an eye on your usage stats and $MOBILE points through the Helium Mobile app. Managing your account is straightforward, and watching your rewards grow can be quite satisfying as you contribute to the network’s expansion.
By following these steps, you're not only setting up a phone service but also joining an innovative network expansion program. The Solana Phone and Helium Mobile partnership is paving the way for a new era of connectivity, and you're now a part of it. Enjoy the journey and the connectivity!
