Lyca Mobile'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.
Lyca Mobile holds a lot of positives:
Free international calls to 59 countries on some of its 28-day prepaid plans
Frequent promotional offers for bonus data or first month discounts
Choice of picking up a Lyca Mobile SIM at convenience stores or ordering it online
But just be aware that:
While there is a Lyca Mobile app, there are many complaints online about it operating very poorly.
Lyca Mobile 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.
Those that are more regular mobile users may enjoy Lyca Mobile's higher data plans instead. These cost under $1 per GB, which is the benchmark you want to aim for.
Lyca Mobile'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 Lyca Mobile'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.
Customer service
If you have a question and want to get in touch with the Lyca Mobile team, you can reach them between 9am–6pm AEST, Monday to Sunday:
Call up the Lyca Mobile support team, which has multilingual support available for non-English languages.
Leave a message on live chat on the Lyca Mobile website during service hours.
Ask a question via the Lyca Mobile Twitter or Facebook page.
Bonus features
Lyca Mobile 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, Lyca Mobile has more generous inclusions than most.
You'll get unlimited calls to up to 59 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 2GB for $5 all the way up to 20GB for $12.
🧑🤝🧑 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.

Unfortunately, Lyca Mobile is not available via Finder. Instead, you'll need to head over to www.lycamobile.com.au and purchase the plan you're after there. Or you can continue comparing plans from 45 other providers on Finder.
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. Lyca Mobile advises it will take around 2.5 business hours for the transfer to complete.

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.
Choose between a mobile plan on the Telstra or Vodafone 4G network with Cmobile.
Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
Some content on this site is generated or supported by artificial intelligence tools, including our AI-powered assistant FinderBot. AI-generated content may contain errors. Please verify important information directly with the product issuer before making a financial decision. For more information about FinderBot, see the FinderBot Terms of Use and FinderBot Privacy Collection Notice.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
Our goal is to create the best possible product, and your thoughts, ideas and suggestions play a major role in helping us identify opportunities to improve.
