Data renews monthly. Speeds throttled after high-speed data allowance. [imgur.com] Lyca moved to a PINless activation system about a month ago and it's been failing - so you have to request your purchases Bundle/Plan PIN be sent to you so that you may apply it to your line/account. This is known as a Bundle PIN RETRIGGER request.

An English-language line phone agent created and referred a case to another team for completion and provided me with a reference number. I received a PIN via email about 12 hours later. That said, some just reported being able to get it instantly via Chat.

Once you have the PIN apply it to your line here: https://www.lycamobile.us/en/activate-plan/

Alternatively, you can send them a message at [email protected] or via Twitter DM [twitter.com] - make sure to include your phone number, SIM's serial number, and purchase's reference number (MFSTxxxxxxxx).

Stay away from Lyca. No customer support. They do not give your PIN and account number when you want to move to a different provider
Eff all that porting hassle - use Google Voice & never have to deal with it again. Get a new number for each new deal, update the number in the app, & done.
Last time I brought sim and services from their website. Never received the sim. Back and force emails for 2 months. Have to call credit card to dispute.

Not in the US market, as far as I can tell.

They do in the UK, where they have extremely competitive rates with EU roaming included.

To verify, I'd chat them and ask if the US-version of the iPhone 14 is supported.

That's interesting.

I've ordered from them three times total, weeks apart - received all via FedEx 2-Day.

Interestingly enough, that's actually how I found out about these plans - they were offered as a retention play when I called the Spanish-language line for port out details.

Honestly, I'd start looking for a similar deal about 4.5 months in - Mint usually has something similar; their current promo is for three months right now.

I had ordered the same deal 2 days ago. Sim was shipped today via FedEx 2 day and is in transit
Upon activation and registration, ensure that you make note of your customer identification pin (cip) and the puk code from the sim card. Just take a picture of the Sim card. You will need this cip and puk code information, along with your registered name, address, phone, birth date and 2 or 3 most dialed or texted numbers, whenever you want to port out
