Is Lycamobile right for me?
- What does Lycamobile offer? Lycamobile specialises in prepaid plans for folks who frequently call overseas. These plans operate on parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G networks, as do Lycamobile's accompanying mobile broadband plans.
- Product highlights: Unlimited international calls to a wide range of countries, reasonably large data caps.
- Watch out for: Because Lycamobile's plans all operate on a 28-day expiry, they end up costing more than 30-day plans over the long term. Over 12 months, you're looking at almost 1 extra payment cycle compared to a 30-day expiry plan.

Lycamobile's prepaid plans explained
How does Lycamobile compare?
- International inclusions are some of the most generous in the prepaid space
- Telstra network offers greater coverage and speeds
- 28-day expiry means spending more over the long term
Lycamobile prides itself on facilitating global communication with a generous bundling of international call inclusions into its prepaid plans. Few other telcos offer as much international value on their prepaid plans, especially at lower price points. Only Lebara and Woolworths Mobile include similar unlimited international call offers on their plans.
This gives Lycamobile a distinct, critical edge over the competition for users with friends, family or business overseas, since plans from providers like amaysim, Kogan Mobile, Coles Mobile and ALDImobile top Lycamobile's offerings on the data front.
Why should you consider Lycamobile?
If you spend a lot of time chatting to folks overseas, including unlimited international calls to select countries makes Lycamobile a stand-out choice in the prepaid space. With the ability to place limitless calls to as many as 54 countries, there's a good chance you'll find your preferred destinations among these inclusions.
Even if you're not much of an international chatterbox, you can get your fill of data with Lycamobile's M and XL plans. Both come loaded with generous data caps at their respective price points, offering value on par with the top prepaid plans on the market.
Lycamobile recharge options
If you're new to Lycamobile, you'll first need to purchase a Lycamobile SIM card either by requesting one for free from the Lycamobile website or purchasing one from your nearest participating retail store. With a Lycamobile SIM installed in your phone, recharging is as simple as following one of these steps:
- Online: Visit the Lycamobile recharge page and top up your balance with a credit or debit card.
- Phone: Call 373 from the phone you want to recharge and follow the prompts.
- In-store: Purchase a Lycamobile top-up voucher from a participating retail store.

Hi I’m a prepaid user with Lyca, how can I top up the fee for my existing number?
Hi Le,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You can visit Lycamobile Australia website to top-up your number. Midway on the page, you would see a table containing their prepaid plans. Look for your desired package and click “Existing Customer BUY HERE” orange button. Once clicked, you can put in your personal information and then the card information to complete the request.
Just a reminder to consult Lycamobile directly or review their Information Summary sheets to know which package suits your needs.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
If I go overseas, does it work and still have good rates from Indonesia to Australia?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your comment.
Lycamobile does work when you’re roaming in Indonesia. And yes, there are different rates to Australia when roaming in Indonesia. This is why you would be well advised if you’ll directly get in touch with Lycamobile.

Hi Mamta,
You’ve reached finder. I would recommend contacting Lycamobile’s customer support on 1300 854 607 from another phone. They should be able to give you a PUK number to unlock your SIM.
Thanks,

Hello Mamta,
Thanks for your question.
No need to worry your PUK can be obtained from your service provider. All you need to do is give them a call and provide the needed information to verify your account and you may receive your PUK code to have your sim card unlocked.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
Chester
