Helium launched the world’s first free mobile phone plan earlier this year. Now, it is partnering with AT&T, the world’s third-largest telecommunications company by revenue.
This collaboration of Helium with AT&T could be a game-changer for mobile connectivity across the U.S. It introduces millions to the potential of decentralized infrastructure.
A Telco Giant Embraces DePIN
On April 24, AT&T announced it will integrate Helium’s distributed network of internet hotspots to strengthen mobile coverage across America. With over 117 million wireless subscribers, AT&T’s move marks a massive vote of confidence in Helium’s model—and in DePIN as a whole.
Rather than relying solely on centralized infrastructure, Helium uses community-hosted hotspots to provide coverage, rewarding participants with crypto incentives. This people-powered approach lowers costs and increases flexibility. AT&T’s decision to tap into this system signals a shift in how major carriers view decentralized solutions.
Big news! @ATT subscribers can now connect to the people-powered Helium Network across America.
By leveraging Helium’s decentralized network, AT&T is expanding coverage to thousands of new locations, built and powered by individuals across the U.S.

“Working with AT&T is a massive step forward in our mission to bring affordable and accessible connectivity to the masses,” said Amir Haleem, Co-founder of Helium and CEO of Helium Mobile. “This is only the beginning of our journey that will transform the future of connectivity.”
Alongside greater network coverage, AT&T also gains access to Helium’s real-time data analytics. This could provide deeper operational insights and improve service reliability—an increasingly valuable asset in a data-driven world.
