Lyca Mobile's 9-month unlimited talk, text, and 40GB plan is attractive for short-term use because the promo price is low and the network performance can be solid, with some activations showing AT&T-like speeds and even 5G Plus in rural Pennsylvania. The main catch is the jump to $49 per month after the promo ends, and the service can be frustrating to manage because the website, app, and support often misbehave. Porting out and canceling auto-renew have also been reported as difficult, so it works best when the number is not mission-critical.
Customers comfortable managing their own port-out details, because the account number and PIN can be viewed online and porting out can be quick.
People who want a short-term unlimited line, because the promo price is attractive before the renewal jumps to $49 after nine months.
Travelers who only need basic texting abroad, because the service can handle simple SMS alerts while outside the United States.
Rural users chasing strong signal, because 5G+ service was reported in rural Pennsylvania.
Shoppers who want a reliable website or app, because checkout, login, activation, and port-status tools can fail or loop.
People who need a carrier with painless cancellation, because porting out can be extremely difficult and may require repeated calls or FCC escalation.
Anyone who wants automatic renewal to stay at the promo rate, because the plan switches to $49 after nine months.
People who need dependable billing control, because unauthorized charges and failed cancellation attempts were reported after trying to stop auto-renew.

I have ported and changed carries many times over the past 5 years, so I am very familiar and already had my account # and porting security code from my old carrier.
1. Placed the order for the $12 plan. Received PUK and eSIM data.
2. Received a QR code. Add to iphone, it quit on the last activation screen.
3. Apparently you have to file a form https://www.lycamobile.
4. You try to chat with their chatbot and ask for an agent and you are waiting an hour (I am still waiting on a chrome tab thats open). After 20 minutes i did get someone at 866-277-3221 but all of they did was to submit the same form i was getting an error.... told me to wait 24 hours.
Not a good start for this company. I can confirm their website absolutely sucks and so does their App on iPhone (2.0 ratings)

Whoever designed and built this website should be fired. Also their iOS APP uses European DD/MM/YYYY format which is super annoying.
/rant is over.
Login to Lyca portal is thru OTP. Once you login - you can access Account and PIN.

Also if you find a better deal (say on Ultra), Lyca Customer Service will try to match same deal.
Having that Lyca seem to have lower priority over Ultra / Mint on T-Mobile network.
