Getting Started

How to join Calyx Institute, support our nonprofit mission, and get unlimited mobile internet.

Interested in getting started with a Calyx Internet membership? Here’s how to do that!

Step 1. Evaluate coverage in your area


See the coverage map to determine if there is likely to be coverage in your area. Our hotspots connect to the T-Mobile network. It’s also a good idea to give T-Mobile a call for an up-to-date, personalized coverage assessment here: 1-800-937-8997.

Step 2. Pick a membership level


Each Internet membership level comes with a different piece of equipment to serve as your gateway to the internet. We currently have two Internet membership levels (Contributor and Sustainer) that include hotspots with assigned SIMs, and one Internet membership level (Calyx Sprout) that includes a SIM you can use in the compatible device of your choice.

Some membership levels are available on a quarterly basis, and some require a full year’s contribution for the first year. All membership levels support quarterly renewal after the first year.

Also, all memberships include a T-shirt and stickers.

Step 3. Enroll


Once you’ve confirmed that coverage is good in your area and chosen a membership level, you can fill out our enrollment form, available by clicking here.

The address you provide at signup is what we will use to ship your hotspot and any warranty replacements you may need—so it’s important that you give us an address that can receive packages.
