Data Bolt On M

A SIM-only deal is a mobile phone plan that offers a SIM card and a package of texts, minutes and data, but does not come with a handset.

If you are choosing a SIM-only deal, you will need to buy your phone separately or use your existing mobile.

SIM-only deals are available as both Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go plans.

All Lyca Mobile mobile plans are SIM-only deals, although we do also have handsets available to buy outright, or through payment plans.

Visit our Mobile Web Settings page to find out how to automatically set up mobile data on your phone. You'll need to know the brand and model of your device.

To enable Lyca Mobile 4G mobile data on an iPhone:

Once you've updated your APN settings, restart your iPhone and you'll be able to use 4G where it's available.

To enable 4G on Android, use the same APN settings as for iPhone.

In need of a little extra data on top of your data-only SIM plan? Adding data to a plan is simple with Lyca Mobile Data Bolt Ons.

All you need to do is select the amount of extra data you need from our selection of Data Bolt Ons. Currently, you can add 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, or 10GB of mobile data to your existing plan.

When you buy a Data Bolt On, the extra data will be immediately added to your existing allowance. The data will last until the end of your current plan.

If you've used up all of your data allowance, you can continue to use data without buying a Data Bolt On, but you'll be charged at our Standard National Pay As You Go Rates.

3. Extension of mobile data range - for efficient hotspot creation
4. Better support for interactive media such as voice, audio, internet and broadband services
5. Increased capacity and capability to support mass connectivity
6. Customer support for the ever-increasing use and making of diverse applications, services and users
7. Better cognitive radio software development
8. Improved security features
9. Improved virtual and immersive reality
10. Tactile internet
11. Wireless cloud
12. Improved machine-to-machine communication time and much more

Lyca Mobile 5G is on its way, and will offer the same affordable, flexible phone plans as always, but with a faster and more stable internet connection.

Until then, you can make use of the best possible high-speed data on our 4G network by choosing a mobile data plan of your choice.

Lyca Mobile international SIM cards are designed to reduce the cost of making calls to international landlines and mobiles from within the UK.

All Lyca Mobile SIM cards offer free roaming in the EU. When calling from outside the UK and EU, you'll be charged for calls, texts and data based on our international roaming rates.

Yes, it's easy to transfer your mobile number from a different network to a Lyca Mobile UK SIM card.

You'll first need to obtain a Porting Authorisation Code (PAC code) from your current mobile provider. You can do so by calling your provider, but if you want to avoid a customer retention pitch, you can use the text-to-switch service and text PAC to 65075. You should receive a reply with your PAC code within one minute.

PAC codes are valid for 30 days, so if you don't sign up for your Lyca Mobile SIM within a month, you'll need to obtain a new code.

Next, order your Lyca Mobile SIM card online from our website.

Once you have your SIM, fill out our Online Porting Form and you can then expect your existing mobile number to be ported to your new SIM within the next two working days.

Alternatively, you can contact Customer Services on 322 from a Lyca Mobile number or 0207 132 0322 from any other number. Provide your SIM and a PAC code from your previous provider, and your Customer Service representative will completen the porting process.
