Please note that some handsets switch from WiFi to Mobile Internet depending on signal strength. To avoid these issues, please deactivate the data option on your mobile phone while using WiFi.

Your Lycamobile SIM is set up to let you know when your balance gets below a set level. That is why you may receive this error message. However, once you disconnect the first attempt and try again, the call will go through – as long as there is enough credit. If the problem persists, please call Customer Services on 322 from any Lycamobile number.

This could possibly be due to an active data connection. Please turn off mobile data and restart your handset.

If the problem continues, please contact Customer Services on 322 from your Lycamobile.

To get your itemized billing copy sent to you, please make sure you have a main balance/credit of £7.50 on your Lycamobile SIM card.

We will send your itemized bill for the last 6 months, including the current month, to your registered address only.

Please note that you need to be a registered customer to get the itemized bill copy.

To check your billing info and to manage your Lycamobile account, please register your SIM online at www.lycamobile.co.uk. Once you have completed the set up, you will get a case sensitive password which will allow you to gain access to online account management on our website.

You can always check your balance by dialling *131# from your handset. Alternatively, you can call our Automated Voice Response on 321 from your Lycamobile phone.

You can check our unbeatably low rates from our website here.

Alternatively, you can dial *136* followed by the phone number you wish to call with its country code and then # from your mobile.

E.g. *136*0040377881276# (number is Lycamobile Customer Services).

Firstly, please make sure you have enough credit to send a text. If you still can’t send or receive texts, please check the Message Centre Number (MCN) in your SMS settings – it should be +447404000111 for Lycamobile UK. If you see a different number, enter +447404000111, turn your handset off and on and then retry sending any unsent texts. If the problem remains please contact Customer Services.

Roaming services are automated and they should work as soon as you travel abroad. If it seems roaming isn’t working, please restart your phone and you should be able to use our roaming services without any problem.

Your Lycamobile voicemail service has been automatically activated. To access your voicemail from your Lycamobile in the UK dial 121 (or 91#). Calls to access the voicemail are absolutely free.

We automatically deactivate SIM cards if you do not use them to make a call or send a text for more than 90 days. Unfortunately, these SIM cards cannot be reconnected and the mobile number also stops being available for you to use after this time.

No. Unfortunately, we do not offer premium texts or premium calling as part of our product offering.

Your handset needs to be compatible with internationally recognised GSM standards, adopted by all the major handset manufacturers. There are no other restrictions on the type of handset you can use with Lycamobile. Please call our Customer Services team on 020 7132 0322 if you are unsure about your handset.

Lycamobile works in the same way as other mobiles when it comes to sending international text messages.

Simply text 00 followed by the country code without the first 0, then the area code and then the phone number and press send. Instead of 00 you can also use a “+”.

For example, if you are texting someone in Romania, simply text 0040377 881276 (number is Lycamobile Customer Services and is not available to text).

When it comes to making international calls, Lycamobile works in the same way as other mobiles or landlines.

Simply dial 00 followed by the country code you are calling (e.g. 40 for Romania), then the area code without the first 0 (except Italian landlines where the first 0 is kept) and then the phone number and press the call button. Instead of 00 you can also use a “+” (e.g. +40).

For example, if you were calling Romania from the UK, you would dial 0040377 881276 (example is Lycamobile Customer Services).

Please note that most premium voice and text services in other countries cannot be reached from a mobile phone service when calling from outside that country.

The flashing envelope indicates your text memory is full. This will usually prevent you from receiving more text messages until you have deleted a few old ones. You can delete messages from the Inbox, Sent or Draft folders to free up some storage space. The number of messages you can store will vary from one handset to another.

When you receive a text from a company you have not given your number to, this is called SPAM. Unfortunately, Lycamobile is unable to prevent you from receiving these unwanted messages, unless you want to ban all text messages. These companies have clever ways of getting mobile phone numbers. One way to avoid SPAM is to be careful about what sites you give your mobile number to.
