Lyca Mobile 3GB 45p/m for first 6 months SIM only deals

I got this offer 10 days ago, billed £1.49 on the day of ordering.
Arrived next day.
Things need to be done in order.
Put sim in phone and dial *123# something like that. Details in email.
Had to do it 3 times before it registered.
Then I signed up via desktop. Then app.
Waited until Monday and ported my number.
Porting went off with no issues at all on Tuesday.
Got a text to say it would port and then at about 14.00pm another to say all done.
Turned off phone, switched sims.
Dialled home and number had changed.
5G is good, indoors 60mb and outdoors 300 plus.
Will switch in 5-6 months for another sub £2 offer I hope.

Any main network offer anything close to this?

Also when it comes to cancelling and the rolling contract, how does it work? Make sure you cancel at the end of your billing cycle basically and you should be golden?

Excellent prices especially for 6 months.

However, LycaMobile does have limitations such as No wifi calling, and data/sms turned off when on voice calls.

I’m hoping that Lebara can offer similar 6 month deals as I can’t wait to switch back to Lebara from LycaMobile!

Check out Trustpilot before switching to Lyca. My experience of lyca was recommending this offer to my girlfriend, which I now regret. She was previously an o2 customer, and I told her she was overpaying. She nearly lost access to her mobile number. They didn't honour the discounted rate. Due to an alleged billing error by debit card, the discounted rate was removed 2m in. Still, she stayed with them, then 8m later they claimed topup fraud despite using the same card details as used every month and and having confirmation by her bank it went through, sms and email from Lyca that the topup was successful the number stopped working without notice. Customer services required card details, passport, and personal info by email before they would unlock to verify she was who she said she was and wouldn't give her the PAC and held her hostage. They were the rudest call centre I have ever dealt with. Now moved to Lebara. Save your time and avoid these tricky people or set up auto billing from the start and use it as a spare sim, not one you need for two factor authentication.

Anyone know if I just paid for a monthly fee from Lebara, what is the next best time to switch or does it matters? Thanks.

Just a heads up that roaming in Europe you can't use your entire allowance (ie: 10GB plan - you're able to use up to 3GB of data for no extra charge) , nonetheless, great deal!

is ringing Lyca phone numbers still charged or part of inclusive minutes now?

I remember Lyca having their phone numbers starting with 074,and would get charged instead of being inclusive minutes.

can we cancel it after say 2 months?

I cant login to my lyca account anymore, and i can't cancel lyca payments from my bank account as there are no direct debits setup with lyca according to my bank. I can't get through to lyca using *321#. I have 2 months left of the 45p offer. Help?!

Cracking deal for 6 months use, then switch back to a Lebara introductory offer and then eventually back to Lyca introductory offer again and keep on repeating

I got my sim at the weekend (£1.49 deal). Got round to activating it last night. Takes absolutely ages to register on to the network and activate. Managed the website registration process this morning which was slow and painful - each step of the process takes ages to progress on to the next because the website is so slow.
Dashboard says I havent got 'any credit and to register on to a plan'. Well, I used the £1.49 link to get the sim, the email says I am on the £1.49 for six months MSE plan, but this is nowhere to be found on my dashboard.
I have been charged £1.49 for the sim.
Online chat doesnt work.
This is painful.

can't see 3gb, 45p/m anymore

cant see the deal clicking through the link? dont see it on lyca's site either

Worst decision to jump on this network. As people have mentioned, no WiFi calling, cannot use mobile data when on call and receive missed call messages when phone near me and not in use. Also cannot call some usual mobile or landlines numbers.

Can you port from lyca themselves? or do you need to port to another company and then back again?

So if auto-renewal is off and I use it only for a month, will I be charged a full price? Some of these plans have this caveat

Managed to get an 3gb esim up and running in spare phone. Just seen there's no spend cap,If it gets used up will you have to purchase another bundle or does it add it automatically as they have your bank details

Great for a cheap backup e-sim when Lebara/Vodafone doesn’t work. Cheers.

How is this any different to the existing deals posted by @Random1234 a month ago?

Nice... waiting for the 1p sims

Just tried this eSIM business and so love the concept. Makes you realise how backward the networks in this country are not utilising this technology universally. (edited)

Last time i got Lyca esim for a holiday. MSE deal in summer for £1.99pm 15GB. Got £7 TCB. Cancelled it after 2 months. So in effect they paid me £3 and I got 2 months of free usage. Network worked really well here and abroad. Happy days!

Can’t see the 45p deal anywhere ? Cheapest is 99p (edited)

I had one of these sims before when they were using O2 and my experience was AWFUL. So difficult to activate it, the highest data speed I could get was 2Mbps and the coverage was terrible. Thought i'd try again now they're with EE and I have been pleasantly surprised so far. Sim activated on its own, coverage seems really good and speedtest reports 75Mbps in my bedroom in a semi-rural area. Number is due to be ported tomorrow and they have been updating me on the status of this via sms and the portin was never a problem last time I was with them so all seems good!

If you tried them before and had a bad experience I would reccomend to try them again! Also e-Sims are now available if you're into that and I have read on a couple of news sites when googling that "The partnership (with EE) will also provide Lyca Mobile customers with future access to services such as WiFi calling."
So watch this space!

link says 99p not 45p

*137# said I have no bundle..........

Shambles, can’t make any calls. Their owner is probably in Manchester for the conference and nothing will be done until he returns. 

So many Lyca subscribers on this thread are commenting about unprecedented problems they are facing but nobody has actually said that Lyca might be going down the pan. Strange.

does anyone know if i order this today can i activate it in november?
