Lyca Mobile Prepaid Plans
A sensible switch if you're tired of paying carrier prices for basic service.
Lyca Mobile's pitch is simple: nationwide coverage and international calling without a contract or the markup that the big three carriers charge for the same basics. The entry plans are data-light but cheap; the Unlimited tiers give full-speed data for the first 50GB before slowing down, which covers ordinary daily use for most people.
Where it makes less sense is if you rely on phone support in person — there's no retail network, so everything from activation to porting a number happens online or over the phone. For anyone comfortable managing their plan from their phone, that trade-off is a reasonable one for the price.
Where it's strong, and where it isn't.
Good
- Unlimited plans include full-speed data for the first 50GB
- Free international calling & texting to 100+ countries on every plan
- No contract and no credit check to sign up
- Free number porting if you're keeping your existing number
- Self-activation in minutes — dial 622, enter your zip code
Not so good
- Data slows after the full-speed allowance on unlimited plans
- No retail stores — support is online or by phone only
- Promotional pricing changes, so today's rate isn't guaranteed to last
- Coverage depends on the underlying network in your specific area
- Multi-line and group discounts need a support call, not self-service
