About this deal
It was £1.49 before but now even cheaper £0.90 for 5 months then £7.99
Note: I don't think this is for new customer only deal because I already have lebara sim, I used the same account to buy this.

If you are currently with Lebara, have fewer than 4 SIMs to the same email address, want to use this plan and still want keep your current number (eventually), here are the porting steps as per my previous comment:
- buy this plan (wait and get a new Lebara SIM, keep safe for later)
- request for a PAC code from your existing Lebara plan
- get a free alternate provider SIM (e.g.: ASDA PAYG SIM, or Three PAYG SIM) (I've been told that Three have eSIM option during checkout process too!)
- submit the PAC to the alternate provider, to move your number from Lebara to another provider
- once the number has ported to the alternate provider, wait 1 day for the number to fully register on their system
- ask for a PAC from this alternate provider
- provide this PAC to Lebara (via this Lebara form, or web chat, or call Lebara's customer services), to move the number from alternate provider to Lebara (this new plan).

30 days to activate sim from time of purchase.
Also 12GB avail from MSE at same 90p for months 1-5 then £6.90 after. For those that don’t need 15GB. (edited)
Helpful comment. One might think why give up extra 3GB when this deal is available! but then your suggestion would be cheaper per month after initial 5 months if 12GB would suffice.
Can you use this in the USA etc?You can call USA as part of the free 100 MIN, that's what the list is about
Call FROM UK to that list of countries
BUT.. if you want to know about ROAMING with it in the USA .... then No.. as far as I know.
That's why I have my THREE PAYG for the USA
I use Lebara for EU and India roaming.
The free Roaming in India makes a huge difference to some of us and well worth it if planning a trip there. (edited)
Three doesn’t let me click eSIM option, is it letting anyone else too?
No, it doesn't. What you can do is the following:
1) Make the order for a physical SIM.
2) Get the SIM and activate it by putting it in your phone.
3) Remove the physical SIM. Via your three account, you can use the app, order a replacement SIM.
Select e-sim.
4) Moments later, you will get your three e-sim.
Is there still a free PAYG sim that does not need topping up for porting out and porting back to Lebara again?I used to use three, but started using vodafone now (free to order too).
Changed 4 sims last month from Lebara to Vodafone and back to Lebara without issue. (edited)
Ported my number over to Asda today, just as I did 6 months ago. Last time it was as simple as getting the PAC and as soon as it was ported, doing the same back to Lebara. This time though Asda are saying I need to wait a week to get a PAC because I just ported in? So now my number is being held hostage by Asda for a week, lol. Any suggestions?
If you port your number in to Asda and it’s already been on their network within the last 360 days their system will really struggle to handle it.
Expect your number to be with them for some time, so you may need to buy a bundle if you want to make use of your number in the meantime. You’ll likely have to escalate your request for a PAC to management before someone can manually generate one for you.
Can you switch to this if you're already with them and keep your old number?"sdduk

No you have to port out if you want to keep your number." (edited)
Is there a way to activate mms?MMS Is already active. Just make sure you have the Lebara APN saved and active in your phone's settings.
Remember you need to top up with cash credit to send one though. They aren't inclusive with your bundle and cost extra. 45p each I believe.
Is it me or has the Lebara network reception / data got a lot worse last few months? Used to be spot on! Anyone else had any issues? (edited)Vodafone’s 3G switch off didn’t go as smoothly as they hoped. It’s increased network congestion as well as led people to drop down to 2G randomly quite a lot as well. A lot of work needs to be done to get things perfect again, but they aren’t keen on spending money on doing so as they’re awaiting the final approval for their merger with Three which would change their priorities a lot.
Would love to get this but speeds are so slow compared to Smarty for me
It was the complete opposite for me Smarty wouldn't even load Wikipedia, while on Lebara I can get 5G most of the time.
I guess with these companies it's worth checking coverage in your area, but also do a real-life check.
Don't understand how OP managed to add this to their existing SIM: I would love to do this.
The OP mentions using their existing account to buy the SIM, but as far as I can tell they haven’t added it to an existing SIM. I don’t think that’s possible with these deals. Happy to be corrected though!- Just a word of caution .
If you are using pixel phones on Lebara it does not work with 5G. You will only get 4g signal. It's a known issue but both Google and lebara seems to blame each other.
I'm on pixel 7 pro, and on lebara as well, I do get 5g tho (edited) 
How long can I keep this sim not active? Thinking about switching to this once my 6 months is up on my other Lebara sim.30 days from the point of order
Why doesn't the title say lebara at all?
The logo says it
8 quid for 15gb is a poor deal... Most folks don't want the faff of swapping twice a year.The penny pincher army of HUKD begs to differ!- Does change your dress/short will do the trick to get a new contract ?
Yes. Change into a new dress or a clean pair of shorts, then you will be allowed sign up for this deal 
Booo , where is the 6th month? Lebara playing gamesPlaying games! Yes and no. Honeymoon deal duration is 5 months but the price is 0.90p per month as opposed to 99🍦😋 (edited)- There's gonna be a lot of disappointed MSEers if Lebara ever stop these generous "new" customer deals or tighten up on repeat usage! Good to see this back sub-£1 where it belongsI don't think MSE or Uswitch deals for that matter are going to stop in foreseeable future because LEBARA craftily do them as affiliate deals, till LEBARA sells off! (edited)
I went with one of these over a year ago and felt like I was stealing from them so have been paying £6.95 a month since, which still feels like I'm stealing from them heat for the deal - I'd go again but just can't be bothered.
We need more people like you to pay full whack to these big companies so we can steal off them. (edited)
My 99p deal finishes in June, happy days! In 5 months I’ll switch again, no biggie. I miss the 1p deals though and I wish they hadn’t introduced 30 days. £10 would’ve set me right last year (edited)
I found £20 on the street end of last year and instantly thought "that's my entire mobile bill paid for the year"!
Bring the 6 months back!
If only they did eSIMs! All I can find out is they are coming this year…
Does anyone else do an esim offer currently?- Hi. I'm (more than!) likely doing something dumb, but upon clicking on Buy, I'm getting the message "Plan cannot be purchased". IIRC, I've only ever purchased 3 Lebara SIMs previously, and besides that, I haven't even entered any personal data and I don't have a Lebara SIM in the handset at present. I've deleted cookies and same result. Any ideas? Many thanks!You have to log into your account first and stay logged in.
Is there an eSIM option ? (edited)
Literally read
The description…..
Got this for 99p last month. Fuming.You can take remedial measures to minimise any further losses but please don't ask me what. I have read about it somewhere on this long thread. Fuming, today's weather doesn't help either
nice, well timed, i use lebara just for cheap data
I read that three business do £5 unlimited data, and they don’t require listing the business at sign-up. Worth researching if you want.- Does anyone know if i can add this deal to an existing one i signed up to with Lebara a few weeks ago (which was 3 months at £1.50)Easiest is to cancel that and sign up for this where you can activate the sim card any time within 30 days.
Now only 5 months. Ow no! Lebara cutting corners!
I think shrinkflation is taking effect! TBF I'm surprised Lebara are still doing these lengthy offers. (edited)
Hot as usual(y) Any idea when this promo gonna expire? Is 31 May it? Trying to fully maximise my last 99p deal(popcorn) (edited)
6th June
Ugh, I just bought 4 of the Lebara 5GB 5G data, Unlimited mins / text, 100 International mins to 42 countries - 30 Day Rolling (Price For 3 Months) for £0.99 each. Do I have a chance to transfer to this deal - I've only activated 1 of them...Just don’t activate them, and Lebara will refund you the initial payment after a month or so. Cancel auto-renew on the one you’ve activated. And then order this deal via a new email address if need be.
MSE means? Sorry if I sound noob- Great deal, just two questions... do I need to cancel after 5 months? And do they have eSim?No, you can carry on at full price. No they don't yet.
I'm just thinking about leaving Lebara, certain apps and my browser just stopped working for no reasonJust replaced my SIM to a different operator now everything working fine.- How long can I postpone activation, please?
Any confirmation that the deal expires on 6 June 2024? (edited)No more than 30 days from the date of order. Any longer and they’ll deactivate your SIM and refund your payment. 
Anyone had any weird payments coming from their bank account after buying this? Only thing I've bought online for a few weeks was this then quickly after I had a 53p for 'Car Care Products Leichhardt AU'Have you been with the other network that starts with the letter L and directly competes with Lebara? They've been hacked and people are noting mystery transactions. Even if it was a year ago you were last with them, they seem to have payment details going back quite some time
You need to alert your bank and get a replacement card ASAP.
What happens after 30 days? Does the plan auto renew or what is the process please ?
Auto renews using the card you used when you checkout.- Does anyone know if you can port in and out from 3 PAYG without buying any credit?Yes, you can
It was posted previously but why aren't people porting in and out using the 1p talkhome deal on MSE?
Then there is no stress with any delay as you have 5GB data and working calls.
Cause talkhome are fraudsters....as they try changing ppl contract before..just as they signed ppl up.- I've currently paid for this month, if k get this offer and transfer number. Would I get a partial refund or best to wait just before the next payment to do the transfer?Best to order this deal before it expires (withOUT inserting the SIM yet when it arrives, since the 30 days allowance starts right there and then). This SIM will still be valid with the offer plan, as long as you insert it within 30 days from date of sale).
Then terminate your original plan so you don't need to pay the next month.
Then get a PAC from your original provider and start the porting process to Lebara (now you need to insert the Lebara SIM). 
Ever wondered where the scammers get your name and number from?
why would you give lebara your real name
