Finder Score for mobile plans

We've scored over 300 mobile plans on everything from cost to data allowance and important features.

Our experts give each plan a score out of 10 - totally fair, with no commercial strings attached.

Read the full methodology

Lycamobile review: Our verdict

Lycamobile's 28-day plans have some of the best international inclusions around.

If you aren't after international inclusions, you'll probably find the best value in its 10GB for $20 plan.

Those looking for big data allowances will also be pleased as its 50GB plus plans are great bang for your buck.

Lycamobile holds a lot of positives:

  • Free international calls to 60 countries on some of its 28-day prepaid plans
  • Frequent promotional offers for bonus data or first month discounts
  • Choice of picking up a Lycamobile SIM at convenience stores or ordering it online

But just be aware that:

  • While there is a Lycamobile app, there are many complaints online about it operating very poorly.
  • Lycamobile has roaming switched on by default, which can get very expensive. We recommend picking up a local or travel SIM instead to cut down on costs if you're going overseas.

Value for money

Those that are more regular mobile users may enjoy Lycamobile's higher data plans instead. These cost under $1 per GB, which is the benchmark you want to aim for.

Lycamobile's long expiry plans function more like long-term contract plans.

Rather than getting all your data at once, you pay a fee upfront, and then you'll receive monthly allotments of data for 6 or 12 months.

These plans are on par with its regular plans, which means you won't really save money for being locked in for a longer period.

Things to watch out for:

  • Automatic recharge is activated by default, and can only be disabled by following a specific list of steps listed on Lycamobile's website.
  • Roaming is automatically active when you go overseas with very high pay as you go rates. To deactivate roaming you must call up the customer service team.
  • Many plans come with bonus data which appears to vanish after a set date, rather than after a set number of recharges like other prepaid plans.

CS Icon

Customer service

If you have a question and want to get in touch with the Lycamobile team, you can reach them between 9am–6pm AEST, Monday to Saturday:

  • Call up the Lycamobile support team, which has multilingual support available for non-English languages.
  • Leave a message on live chat on the Lycamobile website during service hours.
  • Ask a question via the Lycamobile Twitter or Facebook page.

Bonus features

Lycamobile focuses on delivering international inclusions but has a couple of other features too.

🌍 International calls

If you need to call other countries to stay in touch, Lycamobile has more generous inclusions than most.

You'll get unlimited calls to up to 60 countries, depending on your plan. Some plans also come with international call minutes to selected countries.

🔃 Data add-ons

If you find your data falling short for some months, you can purchase quick top-ups that last till your next recharge.

Purchase anywhere from 1GB for $10 all the way up to 25GB for $25.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Refer a friend

When someone signs up using the unique link you shared to them, you'll earn up to $30 cash directly to your bank.

phone

What if I want to keep my current phone number?
Once you have your SIM, you can fill out the Port-In form on the website. Lycamobile advises it will take around 2.5 business hours for the transfer to complete.

If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or a partner), it might involve some more steps. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.

      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
