Saga Phones to get a 30-day free subscription from the decentralized blockchain network.
Customers of Solana Labs’ new Saga phones will receive SIM cards and free trials from Nova Labs, the organization behind Helium Network and a new crypto-based cellular service dubbed Helium Mobile. The financial details of the plan weren’t disclosed.
Readers may note here that the community members of the Helium network voted in September to shift to the Solana blockchain.
Helium is a cryptocurrency-powered decentralized wireless network for IoT or Internet Of Things gadgets. Saga phone users in The United States could avail of a 30-day free subscription to Helium Mobile. The flagship Android handset from Solana, the Saga phone, is fully incorporated with the Solana blockchain. Helium has also encouraged the growth of the 5G network by rewarding users who set up 5G hotspots with MOBILE tokens.
The cellular-focused service, Helium Mobile, won’t be live until the first quarter of 2023, but to fill in the anticipated dead spots, the firm just signed a five-year deal with T-Mobile. Boris Renski, the GM of Wireless for Nova Labs, said, “As we gear up to launch the world’s first cryptocarrier, our partnership will help bring low-cost, reliable, and decentralized 5G coverage to Saga users across the U.S.”
