About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
I was on Virgin Media (O2) 100GB for £8/month for the last 5 months which has come to an end.
looking at my usage I barely use 30-40GB max/month. I found this deal posted by last year which seems to be still active. I have just bought this so that I can port in and 6 months sorted.
Runs also run on 02, not that bad in my area. So, check the service in your area before purchasing it.
At the end of the 6th month, you just need to TURN OFF autorenewal by navigating to Lyca Login then ACCOUNT MANAGER - "Auto Renew plan" then just as shown below.

sorted byI was able to order a free Pay As You Go eSim with no top up required last month, the eSIM was instantlyemailed to me with a QR code , I then logged onto the online accout to "SIM Swap" from the Physical SIM to eSIM with the eSIM PUK code and ICCID details provided in the email.
However, just checked Lyca's website and it seems you can no longer order free PAYG eSIM (with or without credit) anymore, only if you get a package!
Most importantly, unfortunately (or luckily), I made the mistake of doing the SIM Swap from physical to eSIM first before porting my number in... When I try to fill in the porting request, the eSIM's SIM number (ICCID) is unrecgonised and an error code came up on the porting page.
It maybe that if one ports the number to the physical SIM first, then do the SIM Swap to eSIM afterwards then it will be alright, or not... Can't be bothered to try now that you can't order free PAYG eSIM anymore.
Might have to switch to this better deal
I'm amazed I actually get good 5G speeds on Lyca when not many others allow 5G in my area even after advertising 5G for years
four times today I’ve asked live chat the same question around eu roaming fair usage policy as it’s missing from the terms of this offer and every time I’ve been cut off by them as they clearly don’t know
Not sure about others but I believe for me It's a good deal for that much data and other bits.
Right?
Whatever,I have taken it. (edited)
others hopefully will follow
I thought Lyca had really low fair usuals on roaming but can’t see anything here but wanted to be sure before ordering it
A port in of my old running phone number has gone terribly wrong with them - for over a month I can`t use it. I think it is gone for ever now.
DON`T use LYCA!
You have been warned!
I had used it twice in the past for a few months, porting in and out and never had any issues.
But thanks for the warning I will come up with comments if I ever have any problem in future as I went through this plan today.
trying to get an answer from Lyca so so difficult
