Lebara 5GB data, Unlimited min / text , 100 international minutes / EU roaming - £1.99 for first 5 months, 30 day contract @ Lebara

My wife has a 10gb data allowance, whilst abroad, and still with 5gb remaining she was informed that allowance would soon be used up.
It appears that if you don't use a large amount in UK ( when we are mostly on WiFi) they only allow you a percentage of 10gb whilst abroad.
Various excuses made ' EU regulations blah blah!' All tosh!
That to me doesn't seem fair. I feel if you are paying for 10gb you should get it. Just because you don't max out in UK ( saving them money) penalising someone when they need it is unfair. (edited)

I think you do need to buy a goody bag or top up a minimum of £10 when you activate the Giffgaff sim so might be better off with Asda mobile or a free Vodafone PAYG sim as I don't think you have to top them up. (edited)

Asda is the one you use, you don't need to top up with them.

I always use 3 SIM for porting number to and then out. No top up needed, PAC they send in couple of minutes after request.

Think you get 5 gigs of data now instead (only for the period when you pac in it won't roll over) (edited)

You'll be fine, just pay the first month upfront when you order the sim. Then get the PAC code and port your number when your ready. You won't pay the second bill till 30 days after your activation date.

You can port as often as you like.
You can text INFO to 67075 to see if you have any termination fees from your existing provider.

They charge the first month straight away then your second month will be taken 30 days after activation of the sim. I do believe you have up to 6 months to activate the sim.

Only cover the calls you make from the UK to other countries

I activated one of my sim's after 4 months and all was fine.

Yes. In significant parts of Exeter, Vodafone (Lebara) is the only network that gets any sort of reliable reception indoors.

Possible?

I could be wrong, but usually I give a month notice. For example, if contract ends 29th July, I will give notice today and ask for PAC code. I’ve never needed to pay for the last month as payment taken in advance. Maybe other People’s experiences are different

Yes, if you want to use it as a separate number without porting your current number. There are all sorts of reasons for having two numbers in a dual SIM phone.

How long does it take to get the cashback?

You should be able to. It doesn't matter if they both use the same underlying network for connectivity - you can port from anywhere (except Lebara) to Lebara (edited)

When you go through and checkout you'll pay £1.99 however the 30 day period won't start until you receive the sim and activate it, after 30 days it'll renew at £1.99 for 4 more times then change to the std price of £5.90 unless you cancel, yes you have to have it set to auto renew otherwise you lose the £1.99 offer price. (edited)

If you have registered a credit card it will renew monthly. However, if you have their app or can log on to your account in a browser, you can disable the renewal.

Apart from giffgaff/tesco wifi calling /volte has now become a standard - good to see Labara joining the party

This deal or similar has been available quite a few times recently I'd imagine it'll be on again pretty soon.

Could you link to the sim please..

Did you lose your phone numbers?
I'm tempted, but not at the risk of a balls up making me lose my phone number.
