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.
Common Questions (5)
You can port out successfully, but the process can be very easy or very painful depending on the account. Some users completed it in minutes with the account number and PIN, while others had to deal with long holds, repeated requests, or FCC escalation before Lyca released the port-out info.
Yes. The account number and PIN can be viewed in the Lyca website account details after logging in, and some users can access them through OTP login or the app. It is safest to pull them early in case you need to port out later.
The plan renews at $49 per month after the 9-month promo period, not at the $12.50 promotional rate. That makes it best for short-term use unless you plan to cancel before renewal.
Service does not begin until the SIM is activated. Physical SIMs are shipped and reportedly auto-activated about 2 days after purchase, while eSIM activation can fail if you add the QR code during a port-in when the email says not to.
Yes, the phone must be unlocked to use Lyca Mobile. A locked device may not activate on the network, so check unlock status before starting the port or SIM activation.

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.
