Do all pay monthly SIM only plans include 5G?
Yes, all Pay Monthly SIM-only contracts from Lyca Mobile come with 5G at no extra cost. If you're using a compatible device in a 5G coverage area, you'll benefit from faster downloads, lower latency, and a more responsive internet experience.
Unlike some providers, Lyca Mobile includes 5G across even their low-cost SIM deals, ensuring affordability doesn’t mean compromise. Whether you're commuting, streaming or hot spotting, your 5G connectivity is built right in no bolt-ons or upgrades required.
You can compare all our best SIM-only deals and filter by 5G compatibility.
Is roaming included with my pay monthly SIM only plan?
Yes. Lyca Mobile offers inclusive EU roaming with many of its Pay Monthly bundles, letting you use your minutes, texts, and data across Europe at no extra cost. This means if you're heading to France, Italy or Germany, you can roam like at home.
Our customers on Pay Monthly contracts benefit from seamless access to roaming services. For travel outside the EU, additional roaming data bundles may be needed to avoid unexpected charges.
