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.

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.

Call to Lyca customer service - about 5 minutes (as we didn't know that we can get this from UI).
Getting Values from Lyca site - about 5 minutes (goes thru two OTP flows).
Putting values on Ultra websit - about 5 minutes.
Ultra website said that it is taking "time", but it retries internally automatically - it was done in about 10 minutes. Total of 20-25 minutes.
So does it work now? What are the lessons, for someone wanting to port in? Fill out the form before scanning the esim and trying to activate?
After a few hours playing telephone between my old carrier (Helium) and Lyca my number is finally ported over.
Lyca support is really worthless, they don't tell you anything if a port request fails - there should be a reason code provided according to my old carrier.
I did fix the problem and learned something; triple check to make sure the "service address", E911 and billing addresses are exactly the same between your new line at Lyca and the old carrier.
Mine had the wrong zip code. Apparently porting numbers between carriers requires an address verification check just like credit cards do... It wasn't until I changed my E911 and billing addresses at my old carrier that a port request by Lyca succeeded - within 30 minutes after resubmitting it with help from Lyca chat support.
On the good news, I have an AT&T 30 day free trial eSIM on my spare iPhone and speed tests between both Lyca and AT&T are almost exactly the same. Lyca may be throttling video to 1080p ("AT&T streamsaver") will see if i can figure out how to disable.
