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.

What's a Helio?

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.

Bright, happy and sunny. It's all in the name - Helios was a Titan from Greek mythology and represents the sun.
With the brightness of the sun comes the fiery nature of this person. Warm, generous and happy can quickly turn to fire and rage if you cross them, leaving room for devastating effects.
Usually the fire goes down quickly leaving them feeling bad of they've - broken a window or nose during their tantrum.
Nature, animal and comfort lover Helios often prefers to live in isolation/as a hermit to avoid said rage. They prefer peace and love beautiful things ... Often misunderstood rarely show they care.
