Hi,
My current Lebara plan is coming to an end but I do have another Lebara sim card which has not been activated yet and I would like to move my current number to this new sim card. I have just got off the phone to Lebara CS and he told me I could not do it because the new sim card will not give me the call plan offer if I switch from another Lebara sim. The new sim card is on another lebara account and I do have a spare phone if that helps. Thanks.

Log into your Lebara account in a web browser. In a second tab, open the link to the next Lebara deal you want. Add the deal/new pay monthly tariff to your account. You now have/are paying to have 2 deals paid monthly. This is because they stack. A bit pointless for unlimited texts etc but it means you get the data for both old + new tariffs. Final step is to cancel the old tariff out of you account.
I've moved 2 SIMs to better tariffs using this method. It works best if you add the new tariff a couple of days before the old one renews (and you cancel it), to minimise the days paying 2 tariffs.
The big catch is the above method doesn't give you any low/half price for x months, it just puts you straight onto your new tariff. Suited me perfectly as the goal was a bit more data for a bit less money. This was for one of the special MSE Lebara deals where you use the MSE link.
