I asked a while back about saving my mobile number when moving to Egypt.
Originally thinking of Giffgaff payg sim.
But, would it work with the Lyca 1p mobile deal? I'll be back before 6 months and can switch again.
Basically, roaming switched off and just use local WiFi for calls and messages via messanger/WhatsApp.
Currently with Lebara, but cheap deal ended.
Thanks in advance for any help.

sorted byLyca do have a special plan for people like yourself though which costs £5 a year to hold a phone number in storage. No need to call every 90 days to keep it active. You don't get any allowance or mins or texts, but it will keep your number safe.
If I had to make one call or text every few months, that's doable.
With 100 international minutes, does it count if you call from abroad to the UK, rather than the other way around?
TIA
Lyca have some great offers for first 6 months.
