Sprout and other Calyx Internet memberships

Currently, Calyx offers three types of Internet membership: Sustainer, Contributor, and Sprout. Sustainer and Contributor members receive a dedicated hotspot device along with the Calyx SIM card that provides unlimited internet connection on the T-mobile network. Sprout members receive a Calyx SIM card that provides the same connection. Specific member contributions and associated equipment can be found in the FAQ about membership contributions.

In terms of connectivity, all Internet memberships get the same type of Calyx SIM. The difference is that the SIM for Sustainers and Contributors is locked with the device that comes with the package, whereas you can use the SIM for Sprout members on any compatible devices. Your Sprout membership will have access to whatever network your device allows connectivity to. If you want 5G access as part of your Calyx membership, please choose a hotspot or router that is 5G capable and make sure that your area has 5G coverage on T-Mobile's U.S. network.
