Lebara 30 days 5G SIM Only - 15GB Data, Unlimited Min/Txt, EU Roaming - 99p per month for 6 Months

So I’m actually there now (Dubai). When you pass immigration they will give you a free du sim which has 1GB free for one day. I decided on going to the etisalat store and picking up a 22.5GB sim which cost me in GBP 43 however this means I have a uae number and access to the smiles app from which I was able to extract 2 Hala taxi rides with with 25% off worth about £3.50 per ride max capped. 15% of 5 Careem rides worth around £5 per ride so all up you could save £32 odd in taxis. I also used it to get laundry done so I only needed to take half the amount of clothes our family needed (saved £120 on not needing extra luggage) and we did about 18 kilos of laundry for £20 using the smiles app. They picked up washed folded and delivered the clothes back sorted and socks paired in 24 hours.

I have to say the amount of times the taxi drivers called me because they stopped not exactly where I was etc I was glad I had a local number.

Finally also look at entertainer app I paid about £130 but the savings I have are already at £350 with loads of 2 for 1 offers on attractions and food. If you are travelling around the other places they have a GCC one which gives discounts in those places too.

And finally finally . Use a fee free card which will give you a better fx rate. Everyone accepts card, When I needed cash I took some out of the ATMs they also don’t charge a fee.

Happy travels

Edit: just to add for my partner we got her a nomad eSIM which is roaming on du and it works well too. (edited)

Great idea. I’ve got a few Euro MoHo trips this year and 15gb a month will be tight.

It's not about 4g or 5g, its a case of how much you use. I have 4 x sims on this plan with Lebara & have never used more than half. Most places have free wi-fi, so you actually never use that much data

See details in this deal on how to port out and back hotukdeals.com/share-deal-from-app/4293293 the post from itsmewhoami (edited)

I hade a SIM cancelled by them after 30 days because I didn't activate SIM,and an automatic refund.

Completely agree, slowest 4g I've had, average downloads under 2Mbps on speed tests. Most of the time I struggle to get internet when out and about. 5g great when it actually connects. I also have had several issues with other people not being able to hear me after a few minutes on a call, which didn't happen with my last provider.

Yes it's cheap... But I'm looking to move away

Sign into your Lebara account via your web browser. Then open a new tab and navigate to the deal. Progress to order the new SIM, and after you enter the first bit of info the system will recognise you and auto fill in the rest. Very easy.

Super simple

1) Order the Lebara sim
2) Text just the word ' PAC ' to 65075 from your 02 sim. The PAC should arrive via text within a few minutes.
3) Once the Lebara sim arrives, follow the steps at this link; filling in the necessary details including the PAC that 02 sent.
4) If the form is filled before 5pm (Mon to Fri) then the number should move from 02 to Lebara the next working day.

No once you port your number to another Provider your account closes once the number goes over.
Just before you move your number just turn off the auto payment in your Lebara account they can't take any money then.

What went wrong?

I think it someone has already answered this in one of the other questions.... after 30 days your sim will be cancelled and automatically refunded..

It says you have to activate the new Lebara sim within 30 days max, otherwise the sim will automatically be cancelled and you'll be refunded.

Airalo esim. I use this 👌🏽

Gundaa, I beg to differ, I have done 3 sim changes with them and have had good service also have had refunds instantly. Not sure when you you accessed CS, but last 1 year I spoke to SC few times and has always been prompt and good to my satisfaction. BTW for pac did you know that you don't need CS, just text from your phone the one that is being ported to 65075 and Word Pac. Also use the App for most things example increase data, leaving, DD, how much you've used and much more. The App is very clean and easy to navigate, unlike my Halifax Bank..lol

You can follow the steps on this already posted deal to port out to a payg sim and back in again

You sure it's locked? Been illegal to sell carrier locked phones in the UK for years now

Correct. But it seems to work now for me even with Lebara settinfs

one thing I noticed , have Lebara APN set if roaming otherwise roaming won’t work - as I spent a good few hours working out how to fix recently in Lanzarotte 

It should be fine - you port out the other sim number to another provider PAYG sim (eg 3), then port it in to your new Lebara sim (edited)

I think it's a 100 minutes to call the locations from the UK, rather than use it in the country where your going.

I just let my dad use it up each month when he calls his relatives in HK and I can see my international minutes being deducted in myLebara app

This deal is from MSE and initial expiry date was 6th April. They now changed the date to 10th April. Normally they used to renew the deal by at least a month, but this time they only added another 4 days

No your WhatsApp works as normal. so you'll be fine if you mainly use that for calls and messages. I've actually done it at Cairo airport recently aswell as a couple of times in the far east.

Yes, just back from Lanzarote using this sim and roaming worked no problem. The roaming packs are for when you use up your existing allowance. Here’s the text I received when I landed:

“Welcome to SPAIN. You can use all your plan in the EU at no extra cost (upto 30GB if on an unlimited data plan). If you finish your plan allowance while abroad, buy a roaming add-on with data and mins to stay connected.” (edited)

Mods allow because that previous post was posted on 6th Feb.

If it's more than 2 calendar months ago, I think you can post again.

If rules changed, I'm sure I'll be corrected.

OP quoted the rules in one of his responses earlier. (edited)

Hi, Nnnnssss, I am just back from India two weeks ago and the Lebara 100-minute allowance was perfect for me worked well and I had a 20 GB allowance, therefore did not need to buy a local sim either, did not need to ask for wifi passwords at hotels and restaurants, was great, I used my data for google maps to help Tuktuk guys as well, showing were I needed to go .... get it, you'll be ok.

Yes, that should work.

If your phone can take 2 physical SIM, you can even leave your current EE physical SIM as is. Just need to toggle the EE SIM to flight mode when aboard, to avoid EE roaming charges.

Note, you need go activate the Lebara SIM, when you're still in ths UK, within 30 days of your order.

Esim are PITA, when you change phone they dont all transfer, lost my number with lyca because of that, but also was lucky to recover it. Next time ill order a normal sim much more reliable

Your home broadband sucks

But the old Three free international roaming offer ("Feel like home" proposition) included destinations wider than non EU countries, like Australia, Hong Kong etc.

If you still fancy that, I think Three Pay As You Go SIM with AddOns can still be used in some of those "non EU but still included in free roaming destinations".

30 days ago so poster up late to farm the heat. 🧑‍🌾

If what you are saying is true, it's major news! I have never heard of this before...

This one will do Greece 👌

Same here 180mbps in Wolverhampton WV1 4JL
