Helio added a TV Guide application to their handsets, so now anyone who watches TV will be able to find out what's coming up on his favorite channels.

The program schedule can also be shared with any interested person.

Helio TV Guide is available now for $2.

Great news from Helio!

The company announced a $50 discount on all its handsets including the Ocean ($199), the Fin ($79), and the Heat (free).

And with their $99 unlimited calling, text, and data plan ignoring this offer would be a crime.

Helio came up with an attractive limited time offer.

For just $99 a month subscribers will enjoy unlimited calling, email, IM, web browsing, text and multimedia messaging and more. The original price for this plan is $145, so this is likely an attempt to attract new customers.

To subscribe for the new unlimited plan you'll have to reactivate your contract for more 2 years.
