Another shitty MNVO just waiting to hit the gutter. It claims to be THE carrier for bringing vutting-edge phones from Asia, but so far has only brang in one good phone (the Ocean). The rest are pieces of shit. The only reason it hasn't followed the fate of Amp'D Mobile ESPN Mobile, and Disney Mobile is because SK Telecom (their parent company) keeps dumping money into it in hopes that it'll become profitable one day.
FAT CHANCE
Helio spends $1,300-$1,500 per customer aquisition. It would take 3-4 years of a customer paying their bill on time just to break even. In addition to this, Helio leases all its network space from Sprint, meaning that it makes it even harder for it to make money.
I don't see it being around too much longer. And why the hell would you want a Helio plan when you can get a Sprint SERO plan for MUCH cheaper? Sprint also has a better line-up of phones.

Get the Helio mug.Helios Airways also known as suicide Airways, is an airline that many people who wish to commit suicide will fly with. In 2005 the airline was sued because tourists mistook it for a normal airline resulting in their untimely deaths.

Get the Helios Airways mug.A lengthy "weedy" (i.e., colorful but insipidly boring) message sent by flashing a mirror using Morse code.
Native Americans used smoke-signals and African natives in da jungle used drums to speak to each other over long distances, but these forms of communicating took quite a lot of effort and/or preparation, so generally they only used said methods for truly-important messages. Standing on a sunny hilltop and wobbling a mirror is comparatively easy, though, and so a lot of da messages conveyed therein tend to be nothing much except a lotta helio-trope.
